Any ideas?
So the sample works on a physical device and was not working on a Genymotion virtual device. As such I would suspect that Google Apps haven't been installed into the virtual device and as such it is unable to register for and receive push notifications from GCM.
If you would like to look at installing GApps onto your Genymotion emulator I would suggest checking out this SO question How do you install Google frameworks (Play, Accounts, etc.) on a Genymotion virtual device?
