Creating a Google API project

To create a Google API project:

1. Open the Google Developers Console.
2. If you haven't created an API project yet, click Create Project.
3. Supply a project name and click Create. Once the project has been created, a page appears that displays your project ID and project number. For example, Project Number: 670330094152.
4. Copy down your project number. You will use it later on as the GCM sender ID.

Enabling the GCM Service

1. In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth.
2. In the displayed list of APIs, turn the Google Cloud Messaging for Android toggle to ON.

Obtaining an API Key

To obtain an API key:

1. In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth > Credentials.
2. Under Public API access, click Create new key.
3. In the Create a new key dialog, click Server key.
4. In the resulting configuration dialog, supply your server's IP address. For testing purposes, you can use 0.0.0.0/0.
