Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that helps developers send data from servers to their Android applications on Android devices. The service was unveiled on June 27, 2012, at Google I/O 2012 held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco[1].

Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) replaces the beta version of Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM).[2] The free service has the ability to send a lightweight message informing the Android application of new data to be fetched from the server. Larger messages can be sent with up to 4 KB of payload data[3].
