No receiver allowed to receive com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND at Gcm.Client.GcmClient.CheckManifest - Xamarin.Forms - google-cloud-messaging

Question

I am using GCM to receive push notification in Android. I have below code in Android main activity, which is dependent on Xamarin.Forms project
try
{
//Check to see that GCM is supported and that the manifest has the correct information
GcmClient.CheckDevice(this);
GcmClient.CheckManifest(this);
var registrationId = GcmClient.GetRegistrationId(this);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(registrationId))
{
GcmClient.Register(this, GcmBroadcastReceiver.SENDER_IDS);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
While executing check manifest its throwing below exception:
No receiver allowed to receive com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND
at Gcm.Client.GcmClient.CheckManifest
But I have added necessary permission in manifest, below is my manifest:
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<permission android:name="com.package.name.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.package.name.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<application android:label="Mobile.Droid" android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"></application>
I am having same manifest file in one of my Xamarin.Android project, where its successfully registered with GCM, why here its throwing exception?
What am I missing?

I think that the error is because you don't set the permission of:
com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND
Try to set the permissions in your custom BroadcastReceiver class like this:
[BroadcastReceiver(Permission = "com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND")]
[IntentFilter(new string[] { "com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" }, Categories = new string[] { "#PACKAGE_NAME#" })]
[IntentFilter(new string[] { "com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" }, Categories = new string[] { "#PACKAGE_NAME#" })]
[IntentFilter(new string[] { "com.google.android.gcm.intent.RETRY" }, Categories = new string[] { "#PACKAGE_NAME#" })]
public class MyGCMBroadcastReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
const string TAG = "PushHandlerBroadcastReceiver";
public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
MyIntentService.RunIntentInService(context, intent);
SetResult(Result.Ok, null, null);
}
}
I hope it helps
