<p>The GCM Cloud Connection Server (CCS) is a connection server based on XMPP.
CCS allows 3rd-party app servers (which you're
responsible for implementing) to communicate
with Android devices by establishing a persistent TCP connection with Google
servers using the XMPP protocol. This communication is asynchronous and bidirectional.</p>
<p>You can continue to use the HTTP request mechanism to send messages to GCM
servers, side-by-side with CCS which uses XMPP. Some of the benefits of CCS include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The asynchronous nature of XMPP allows you to send more messages with fewer
resources.</li>
<li>Communication is bidirectional&mdash;not only can the server send messages
to the device, but the device can send messages back to the server.</li>
<li>You can send messages back using the same connection used for receiving,
thereby improving battery life.</li>
</ul>
<p>The upstream messaging (device-to-cloud) feature of CCS is part of the Google
Play services platform. Upstream messaging is available through the
<a href="{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/gcm/GoogleCloudMessaging.html">
{@code GoogleCloudMessaging}</a>
APIs. For examples, see
<a href="#implement">Implementing an XMPP-based App Server</a>.</p>
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> See
<a href="server.html#params">Implementing GCM Server</a> for a list of all the message
parameters and which connection server(s) supports them.</p>
<h2 id="usage">How to Use CCS</h2>
<p>GCM Cloud Connection Server (CCS) is an XMPP endpoint, running on
{@code http://gcm.googleapis.com} port 5235.</p>
<p>CCS requires a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. That means the XMPP
client must initiate a TLS connection.
For example in Java, you would call {@code setSocketFactory(SSLSocketFactory)}.</p>
<p>CCS requires a SASL PLAIN authentication mechanism using
{@code &lt;your_GCM_Sender_Id&gt;&#64;gcm.googleapis.com} (GCM sender ID) and the
API key as the password, where the sender ID and API key are the same as described
in <a href="gs.html">Getting Started</a>.</p>
<p> You can use most XMPP libraries to interact with CCS.</p>
<h3 id="auth">Authentication</h3>
<p>The following snippets illustrate how to perform authentication in CCS.</p>
<h4>Client</h4>

<h4>Server</h4>

<h2 id="format">Message Format</h2>
<p>CCS uses normal XMPP <code>&lt;message&gt;</code> stanzas. The body of the message must be:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;gcm xmlns:google:mobile:data&gt;
<em>JSON payload</em>
&lt;/gcm&gt;
</pre>
<p>The JSON payload for server-to-device is similar to what the GCM http endpoint
uses, with these exceptions:</p>
<ul>
<li>There is no support for multiple recipients.</li>
<li>{@code to} is used instead of {@code registration_ids}.</li>
<li>CCS adds the field {@code message_id}, which is required. This ID uniquely
identifies the message in an XMPP connection. The ACK or NACK from CCS uses the
{@code message_id} to identify a message sent from 3rd-party app servers to CCS.
Therefore, it's important that this {@code message_id} not only be unique, but
always present.</li>
<li>For ACK/NACK messages that are special control messages, you also need to
include a {@code message_type} field in the JSON message. The value can be either
'ack' or 'nack'. For example:
<pre>message_type = ('ack');</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For each device message your app server receives from CCS, it needs to send
an ACK message.
It never needs to send a NACK message. If you don't send an ACK for a message,
CCS will just resend it.
</p>
<p>CCS also sends an ACK or NACK for each server-to-device message. If you do not
receive either, it means that the TCP connection was closed in the middle of the
operation and your server needs to resend the messages. See
<a href="#flow">Flow Control</a> for details.
</p>
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> See
<a href="server.html#params">Implementing GCM Server</a> for a list of all the message
parameters and which connection server(s) supports them.</p>
<h3 id="request">Request format</h3>
<p>Here is an XMPP stanza containing the JSON message from a 3rd-party app server to CCS:
</p>
<pre>&lt;message id=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;gcm xmlns=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;to&quot;:&quot;REGISTRATION_ID&quot;, // &quot;to&quot; replaces &quot;registration_ids&quot;
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;m-1366082849205&quot; // new required field
&quot;data&quot;:
{
&quot;hello&quot;:&quot;world&quot;,
}
&quot;time_to_live&quot;:&quot;600&quot;,
&quot;delay_while_idle&quot;: true/false
}
&lt;/gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;
</pre>
<h3 id="response">Response format</h3>
<p>A CCS response can have 3 possible forms. The first one is a regular 'ack'
message. But when the response contains an error, there are 2
different forms the message can take, described below.</p>
<h4 id="ack">ACK message</h4>
<p>Here is an XMPP stanza containing the ACK/NACK message from CCS to 3rd-party app server:
</p>
<pre>&lt;message id=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;gcm xmlns=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;from&quot;:&quot;REGID&quot;,
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;m-1366082849205&quot;
&quot;message_type&quot;:&quot;ack&quot;
}
&lt;/gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;
</pre>
<h4 id="nack">NACK message</h4>
<p>A NACK error is a regular XMPP message in which the {@code message_type} status
message is &quot;nack&quot;. A NACK message contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nack error code.</li>
<li>Nack error description.</li>
</ul>
<p>Below are some examples.</p>
<p>Bad registration:</p>
<pre>&lt;message&gt;
&lt;data:gcm xmlns:data=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;error&quot;:&quot;BAD_REGISTRATION&quot;, // error code
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;msgId1&quot;,
&quot;from&quot;:&quot;PA91bHFOtaQGSwupt5l1og&quot;,
&quot;message_type&quot;:&quot;nack&quot;
}
&lt;/data:gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;</pre>
<p>Invalid "time to live":</p>
<pre>&lt;message&gt;
&lt;data:gcm xmlns:data=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;error&quot;:&quot;InvalidJson : INVALID_TTL : Invalid value (-1) for \&quot;time_to_live\&quot;: must be between 0 and \&quot;2419200\&quot;\n&quot;,
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;msgId1&quot;,
&quot;from&quot;:&quot;APA91bHFOtaQGSwupt5l1og&quot;,
&quot;message_type&quot;:&quot;nack&quot;
}
&lt;/data:gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;</pre>
<p>JSON type error:</p>
<pre>&lt;message&gt;
&lt;data:gcm xmlns:data=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;error&quot;:&quot;InvalidJson : JSON_TYPE_ERROR : Field \&quot;delay_while_idle\&quot; must be a JSON java.lang.Boolean: not-boolean-user-supplied-value\n&quot;,
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;msgId1&quot;,
&quot;from&quot;:&quot;APA91bHFOtaQGSwupt5l1og&quot;,
&quot;message_type&quot;:&quot;nack&quot;
}
&lt;/data:gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;</pre>
<p>The following table lists some of the more common NACK error codes.</p>
<p class="table-caption" id="table1">
<strong>Table 1.</strong> NACK error codes.</p>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Error Code</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code BAD_REGISTRATION}</td>
<td>The device has a registration ID, but it's invalid.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code DEVICE_UNREGISTERED}</td>
<td>The device is not registered.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR}</td>
<td>The server encountered an error while trying to process the request.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE}</td>
<td>The CCS connection server is temporarily unavailable, try again later
(using exponential backoff, etc.).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code BAD_ACK}</td>
<td>The ACK message is improperly formed.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code AUTHENTICATION_FAILED}</td>
<td>This is a 401 error indicating that there was an error authenticating the sender account.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code INVALID_TTL}</td>
<td>There was an error in the supplied "time to live" value.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{@code JSON_TYPE_ERROR}</td>
<td>There was an error in the supplied JSON data type.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h4 id="stanza">Stanza error</h4>
<p>You can also get a stanza error in certain cases.
A stanza error contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stanza error code.</li>
<li>Stanza error description (free text).</li>
</ul>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre>&lt;message id=&quot;3&quot; type=&quot;error&quot; to=&quot;[email protected]/ABC&quot;&gt;
&lt;gcm xmlns=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{&quot;random&quot;: &quot;text&quot;}
&lt;/gcm&gt;
&lt;error code=&quot;400&quot; type=&quot;modify&quot;&gt;
&lt;bad-request xmlns=&quot;urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas&quot;/&gt;
&lt;text xmlns=&quot;urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas&quot;&gt;
InvalidJson: JSON_PARSING_ERROR : Missing Required Field: message_id\n
&lt;/text&gt;
&lt;/error&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;
</pre>
<h2 id="upstream">Upstream Messages</h2>
<p>Using CCS and the
<a href="{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/gcm/GoogleCloudMessaging.html">
{@code GoogleCloudMessaging}</a>
API, you can send messages from a user's device to the cloud.</p>
<p>Here is how you send an upstream message using the
<a href="{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/gcm/GoogleCloudMessaging.html">
{@code GoogleCloudMessaging}</a>
API. For a complete example, see <a href="client.html">Implementing GCM Client</a>:</p>
<pre>GoogleCloudMessaging gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.get(context);
String GCM_SENDER_ID = "Your-Sender-ID";
AtomicInteger msgId = new AtomicInteger();
String id = Integer.toString(msgId.incrementAndGet());
Bundle data = new Bundle();
// Bundle data consists of a key-value pair
data.putString("hello", "world");
// "time to live" parameter
// This is optional. It specifies a value in seconds up to 4 weeks.
int ttl = [0 seconds, 4 weeks]
gcm.send(GCM_SENDER_ID + "&#64;gcm.googleapis.com", id, ttl, data);
</pre>
<p>This call generates the necessary XMPP stanza for sending the upstream message.
The message goes from the app on the device to CCS to the 3rd-party app server.
The stanza has the following format:</p>
<pre>&lt;message id=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;gcm xmlns=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;category&quot;:&quot;com.example.yourapp&quot;, // to know which app sent it
&quot;data&quot;:
{
&quot;hello&quot;:&quot;world&quot;,
},
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;m-123&quot;,
&quot;from&quot;:&quot;REGID&quot;
}
&lt;/gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;</pre>
<p>Here is the format of the ACK expected by CCS from 3rd-party app servers in
response to the above message:</p>
<pre>&lt;message id=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;gcm xmlns=&quot;google:mobile:data&quot;&gt;
{
&quot;to&quot;:&quot;REGID&quot;,
&quot;message_id&quot;:&quot;m-123&quot;
&quot;message_type&quot;:&quot;ack&quot;
}
&lt;/gcm&gt;
&lt;/message&gt;</pre>
<h2 id="flow">Flow Control</h2>
<p>Every message sent to CCS receives either an ACK or a NACK response. Messages
that haven't received one of these responses are considered pending. If the pending
message count reaches 1000, the 3rd-party app server should stop sending new messages
and wait for CCS to acknowledge some of the existing pending messages as illustrated in
figure 1:</p>
<img src="{@docRoot}images/gcm/CCS-ack.png">
<p class="img-caption">
<strong>Figure 1.</strong> Message/ack flow.
</p>
<p>Conversely, to avoid overloading the 3rd-party app server, CCS will stop sending
if there are too many unacknowledged messages. Therefore, the 3rd-party app server
should "ACK" upstream messages, received from the client application via CCS, as soon as possible
to maintain a constant flow of incoming messages. The aforementioned pending message limit doesn't
apply to these ACKs. Even if the pending message count reaches 1000, the 3rd-party app server
should continue sending ACKs for messages received from CCS to avoid blocking delivery of new
upstream messages.</p>
<p>ACKs are only valid within the context of one connection. If the connection is
closed before a message can be ACKed, the 3rd-party app server should wait for CCS
to resend the upstream message before ACKing it again. Similarly, all pending messages for which an
ACK/NACK was not received from CCS before the connection was closed should be sent again.
</p>
<h2 id="implement">Implementing an XMPP-based App Server</h2>
<p>This section gives examples of implementing an app server that works with CCS.
Note that a full GCM implementation requires a client-side implementation, in
addition to the server. For more information, see <a href="client.html">

<h3 id="python">Python sample</h3>
<p>Here is an example of a CCS app server written in Python. This sample echo
server sends an initial message, and for every upstream message received, it sends
a dummy response back to the application that sent the upstream message. This
example illustrates how to connect, send, and receive GCM messages using XMPP. It
shouldn't be used as-is on a production deployment.</p>
