Pushing Notifications via external REST client

[Manuel]

Hi, I was trying to setup an end-to-end Push Notifications example using these guides :

• Push Notifications
• Push Notifications REST services etc

I have created a Backend Service project, added Push Notifications for Android, and on the app side, cloned a project from the "Telerik Baas Push Notification", set it up, deployed to the native Android emulator. At this point I am able to send Push messages from the BackEnd Service's "Push Notifications" > "Push Browser" interface and see what looks like a toast-like message with the raw json Push payload on the app screen (so I presume it is working). However, when I try to follow the examples here to send Push notifications using the same API key but from a REST client (mainly SOAPUI), I get a http 404 error, with a payload of .

For example, to try the equivalent of this :

var notification = {
             "Filter": JSON.stringify({
             'PlatformType': 1
             }),
                "Message": "A generic message"
            };

            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: 'http://api.everlive.com/v1/your-api-key/Push/Notifications',
                contentType: "application/json",
                data: JSON.stringify(notification),
                success: function (data) {
                    alert(JSON.stringify(data));
                },
                error: function (error) {
                    alert(JSON.stringify(error));
                }
            });

  *** NOTE that it is this same API key that I am using in the REST URL I am posting to
 * I have put the Google API Project number (12 digit number) in the same main.js where it said "GOOGLE_PROJECT_NUMBER" ( in the car androidProjectNumber)

Other symptoms :
 * After deploying and running the app for the 1st time, when I hit register, it showed an error on the app's screen saying that registration had failed. However, within a few seconds the app turned up on BackEnd services website under "Devices"
 * To enable Push Notifications on the Native Android emulator, I have created an AVD for the Google APIs version 15, and before running the hybrid app, registered a Google account (the same one with the API project) and verified auto-login from the browser.

Why is it working from the website, but not from the REST client ? What am I missing ? 

Thanks a lot for your help !

Hi,

The issue was resolved in a private support ticket.

Just for reference I am attaching a SoapUI XML request definition. Prior to using it replace the "YOUR_API_KEY" segment of the URL with the actual API key.
