Re: [android-developers] Waking my app with Google Cloud Messaging

Thanks TreKking,
Good advice about starting the app.  I have sent a notification and they can start the app from there if they like.

Now I want my app to be started when a message intended for it is received.

In your receiver, call startActivity.

However, I would recommend showing a notification instead. Arbitrarily starting an application without knowing what the user is in the middle of is a good way to get 1-star ratings and uninstalled.
