error setting up push notification using parse.com and android studio

Question

following the parse.com tutorial for setting up push notification on android (https://parse.com/tutorials/android-push-notifications). ide is android studio 0.8.9 on mac os

Answer 1

code fixed. think there were three issues:

1) wrong syntax for adding comments. i was using the java/objective-c syntax:

// this is a comment

instead of xml way

<!-- This is a comment --> 

2) category should have been <category android:name="com.pixtas.sup" /> (thank you berserk)

3) needed to add meta-data for notification icon. parse doc say this is optional, but it appears to be mandatory, at least in some cases. (Android - Unable to start receiver com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver)

<meta-data
            android:name="com.parse.push.notification_icon"
            android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
