[android-developers] C2DM Tied to Market? (e.g. will it work on non-official devices)

2010-08-16 Thread Andy Savage
Hi everyone,

Quick question.

Just wondering if Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) is available for devices
that use Android 2.2 but don't have the Android Market installed (because
they are not an official device).

Is this service tied to the Market?

Kind regards,
Andy Savage

It is tied to some stuff that is part of the Market install. In other
words, if a device does not have the Market, it will not support C2DM.
You would need to use some other push service (e.g., Urban Airship).

Any idea if there is an emulator image around that would work for testing?

The Android 2.2 emulator should have the necessary bits for C2DM, as I
understand it, despite it not having the Market. When I was testing
C2DM, I used a device, though.
