| 28 <p>To use GCM for your app or extension, do the following:</p> | |
| 29 | |
| 30 <ol> | |
| 31 <li>Upload your app or extension client to the <a href="https://developers.googl
e.com/chrome/web-store/docs/publish">Chrome Web | |
| 32 Store</a>.</li> | |
| 33 <li>A user installs your app or extension.</li> | |
| 34 <li>Your app or extension client requests a registration ID using $(ref:gcm.regi
ster) | |
| 35 function and sends this ID to your server together with information | |
| 36 identifying the user. For more details, please see <a href="#obtain_registration

| 39 | |
| 40 <h2 id="receive_a_message">Receive a message</h2> | |
| 41 | |
| 42 <p>At a glance, receiving a message works like this:</p> | |
| 43 | |
| 44 <ol> | |
| 45 <li>Your app or extension client should register a handler to receive the | |
| 46 $(ref:gcm.onMessage) event.</li> | |
| 47 <li>When your server sends a message to the user, it specifies all of the | |
| 48 registration IDs that are related to that user and passes the message to the | |
| 49 GCM service.</li> | |
| 50 <li>GCM servers route the message to all instances of Chrome running apps or | |
| 51 extensions with one of the registration IDs.</li> | |
| 52 <li>When the message arrives on the client, Chrome starts the app or extension, | |
| 53 if it is not already running, and calls the registered handler to process the | |
| 54 message.</li> | |

| 60 | |
| 61 <p>At a glance, sending a message works like this:</p> | |
| 62 | |
| 63 <ol> | |
| 64 <li>Your app or extension generates a unique message ID, so that it is possible | |
| 65 to find out which message failed to be queued or delivered.</li> | |
| 66 <li>Your app or extension calls $(ref:gcm.send) function with an object containi
ng | |
| 67 message ID, destination ID that identifies the server, and data that consist | |
| 68 of a list of key value pairs. In this step you can also provide an optional | |
| 69 time-to-live for the message.</li> | |
| 70 <li>The callback passed to $(ref:gcm.send) function will be called to notify the | |
| 71 result. Your app or extension should check $(ref:runtime.lastError) to find out
if | |
| 72 the message has been successfully queued for delivery. Please refer to <a href="
#error_reference">Error | |
| 73 reference</a> for possible error codes that could be | |
| 74 returned.</li> | |
| 75 <li>In cases that the queued message could not be delivered to the GCM server, | |
| 76 like network error, a $(ref:gcm.onSendError) event will be fired. Your app or | |
| 77 extension can listen to this event and react to it, e.g. by trying to resend | |
| 78 the message. Please refer to <a href="#error_reference">Error reference</a> for | |
| 79 possible error codes that could be returned.</li> | |
