Registering but not receiving push notifications on Android

Question

I'm running an sample application on AIR using EasyPush extension from milkman games, and using urban airship as 3rd party server.

In IOS everything works fine, but in Android I'm not receiving the push notification. I can register the token, it appears on project menu in my urban airship account, but when i send a test message, i'm not receiving it on device.

I've checked many times my android manifest xml, but everything seems to be ok.

Hope somebody can help me.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you're still having this issue, but I made the mistake of creating a Key for Android applications when I should've been creating a Key for server applications within the Google developers console.

As soon as I used the generated server API key within UrbanAirship's "Configure Notification Services / Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)" section I started to receive the push messages.

Hope that helps.
