GCM service stops working when I implement Robospice with Spring module - google-cloud-messaging

Question

I have implemented a standard GCM client following the instructions on google developers page (Gcm implementation). Push messages have worked great no problem there. But then I implemented Robospice REST lib in the application and GCM stopped working. I am sure it does not work because of Robospice because as soon as I remove the code for SpiceManager GCM starts working.
API calls via Robospice Spring module work fine. This is my declaration of Robospice services:
enter<receiver
android:name="com.clover.spika.enterprise.chat.services.gcm.GcmBroadcastRe ceiver"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name="com.clover.spika.enterprise.chat.gcm" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name="com.clover.spika.enterprise.chat.services.gcm.GcmIntentService" />
<service
android:name="com.clover.spika.enterprise.chat.services.robospice.Jackson2 SpiceService"
android:exported="false" />
<service android:name="com.clover.spika.enterprise.chat.services.custom.PoolingServ ice" /> code here
This is my custom spice service:

MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter jsonConverter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
FormHttpMessageConverter formHttpMessageConverter = new FormHttpMessageConverter();
// StringHttpMessageConverter stringHttpMessageConverter = new

List<MediaType> supportedMediaTypes = new ArrayList<MediaType>();

jsonConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(supportedMediaTypes);
final List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> listHttpMessageConverters = restTemplate.getMessageConverters();
listHttpMessageConverters.add(jsonConverter);
listHttpMessageConverters.add(formHttpMessageConverter);
// listHttpMessageConverters.add(stringHttpMessageConverter);
restTemplate.setMessageConverters(listHttpMessageConverters);
return restTemplate;
}
#Override
public CacheManager createCacheManager(Application application) throws CacheCreationException {
CacheManager cacheManager = new CacheManager();
JacksonObjectPersisterFactory jacksonObjectPersisterFactory = new JacksonObjectPersisterFactory(application);
cacheManager.addPersister(jacksonObjectPersisterFactory);
return cacheManager;
}
#Override
public Notification createDefaultNotification() {
return null;
}
}
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I can post additional code if it is needed.

Answer 1

I have solved the issue, it was not robospice or gcm fault, it was a thing in our server handling.
The thing is that we read some values from User-Agent header that i was not aware of and i did not set it to the OkHttp client.
