Answer 6

There's issue about this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37658 Capital letters can't be used in package names within permissions. You got (same as me) into difficult situation when you have deployed application with package name like this and you need to use GCM. I tried to use some kind of short form of permission:

<permission android:name=".permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name=".permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

I also defined service in the same way. It had to be in application package. It worked on Android 4.3. Probably on 4.2 also. I know that on 4.0.3 it didn't.
