For the application that I am working I need to integrate Google Cloud Messaging. After playing a little with different examples, I was able to send and receive a notification on my deivce.
However, I have come across an interesting situation. As I know (please correct me if I'm wrong), the registration_id is issued per device and per application.
The application that I'm working supports login functionality. When the application is installed and the user logs in for the first time (let it be "UserA"), I request the registration_id from GCM which then I send it to my server.
Now imagine that UserA logs out and gives his device to some UserB to log in. With other words, UserB logs in using UserA's device.
The problem is that if meanwhile UserA receives a notification, UserB will be able to intercept it. And if UserB receives a notification, he won't be able to receive it.
This seems normal because the registration_id is per device and per application, but it does not seem reasonable for my case.
So I'm asking if there is a way I could make the registration_id to be dependent of some user id (besides the device and app)? Or how could I make such that the logged in user to receive only his own notifications?
