my onhandleintent(intent intent) function in gcmintentservice has registration gcm call variable function sends gcm token back-end db. while run mainactivity constructor of gcmintentservice gets called while onhandleintent doesnt. gcmintentservice.

public class gcmintentservice extends intentservice {      private static final string tag = "regintentservice";     private static final string[] topics = {"global"};     string senderid = "1048700326431";      asynchttpclient client = new asynchttpclient();      public gcmintentservice() {          super(tag);         log.i(tag, "always in here");     }      @override     public void onhandleintent(intent intent) {          log.i(tag, " need in here");          sharedpreferences sharedpreferences = preferencemanager.getdefaultsharedpreferences(this);          try {             // [start register_for_gcm]             // call goes out network retrieve token, subsequent calls             // local.             // [start get_token]             instanceid instanceid = instanceid.getinstance(this);             string token = instanceid.gettoken(senderid, googlecloudmessaging.instance_id_scope, null);              // [end get_token]             log.i(tag, "gcm registration token: " + token);              // todo: implement method send registration app's servers.             sendregistrationtoserver(token);              // subscribe topic channels             subscribetopics(token);              // should store boolean indicates whether generated token has been             // sent server. if boolean false, send token server,             // otherwise server should have received token.             sharedpreferences.edit().putboolean(quickstartpreferences.sent_token_to_server, true).apply();             // [end register_for_gcm]         } catch (exception e) {             log.d(tag, "failed complete token refresh", e);             // if exception happens while fetching new token or updating our registration data             // on third-party server, ensures we'll attempt update @ later time.             sharedpreferences.edit().putboolean(quickstartpreferences.sent_token_to_server, false).apply();         }         // notify ui registration has completed, progress indicator can hidden.         intent registrationcomplete = new intent(quickstartpreferences.registration_complete);         localbroadcastmanager.getinstance(this).sendbroadcast(registrationcomplete);         }      /**      * persist registration third-party servers.      *      * modify method associate user's gcm registration token server-side account      * maintained application.      *      * @param token new token.      */     private void sendregistrationtoserver(string token) {             final requestparams params = new requestparams();             params.put("id", token);              client.post("", params, new jsonhttpresponsehandler() {                  @override                 public void onstart() {                     // called before request started                 }                  public void onsuccess(int statuscode, preferenceactivity.header[] headers, jsonobject response) {                  }                  public void onfailure(int statuscode, preferenceactivity.header[] headers, jsonobject errorresponse, throwable e) {                     // called when response http status "4xx" (eg. 401, 403, 404)                 }                  @override                 public void onretry(int retryno) {                     // called when request retried                 }             });     }      /**      * subscribe gcm topics of interest, defined topics constant.      *      * @param token gcm token      * @throws ioexception if unable reach gcm pubsub service      */     // [start subscribe_topics]     private void subscribetopics(string token) throws ioexception {         (string topic : topics) {             gcmpubsub pubsub = gcmpubsub.getinstance(this);             pubsub.subscribe(token, "/topics/" + topic, null);         }     }  } 

i had same issue solved adding manifest:

<service             android:name="com.futec.h2o.registrationintentservice"             android:exported="false" >             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.registration" />             </intent-filter>         </service>
