I am following http://javapapers.com/android/google-cloud-messaging-gcm-for-android-and-push-notifications/? to send push notifications via GCM. Everything works fine but, i am able to send push notification to just one device. Registering another device replaces registration id of previous device. I tried solution provided by Shardool in http://javapapers.com/android/android-multicast-notification-using-google-cloud-messaging-gcm/? but its not working.
Any suggestion would be of great help.
Here are my gcm.php codes that registers device and sends push notifications but, only to a single device registered recently.
gcm.php
<?php
//generic php function to send GCM push notification
function sendPushNotificationToGCM($registatoin_ids, $message) {
//Google cloud messaging GCM-API url
$url = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send';
$fields = array(
'registration_ids' => $registatoin_ids,
'data' => $message,
);
// Google Cloud Messaging GCM API Key
define("GOOGLE_API_KEY", "MY_KEY");
$headers = array(
'Authorization: key=' . GOOGLE_API_KEY,
'Content-Type: application/json'
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === FALSE) {
die('Curl failed: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
?>
<?php
//this block is to post message to GCM on-click
$pushStatus = "";
if ( ! empty($_GET["push"])) {
$gcmRegID = file_get_contents("GCMRegId.txt");
$pushMessage = $_POST["message"];
if (isset($gcmRegID) && isset($pushMessage)) {
$gcmRegIds = array($gcmRegID);
$message = array("m" => $pushMessage);
$pushStatus = sendPushNotificationToGCM($gcmRegIds, $message);
}
}
//this block is to receive the GCM regId from external (mobile apps)
if ( ! empty($_GET["shareRegId"])) {
$gcmRegID = $_POST["regId"];
file_put_contents("GCMRegId.txt",$gcmRegID);
echo "Ok!";
exit;
}
?>

Please tell me how do I store multiple device registration ids in GCMRegid.txt and send notifications to each of the registered device
