Create a connection

See Google Client Login documentation for details.

var config = {
    user: 'bla-blah-blah@gmail.com',
    password: 'your-huge-very-very-strong-password',
    source: 'yourCompany-yourMegaApp-version', 
};
var c2dm = new C2DM(config);

Login into c2dm

c2dm.login(function(err, token){
    // err - error, received from Google ClientLogin api
    // token - Auth token
});

Send message to device

See C2DM documentation for details.

var message = {
    registration_id: 'Device registration id',
    collapse_key: 'Collapse key',
    'data.key1': 'value1',
    'data.key2': 'value2',
    delay_while_idle: '1' // remove if not needed
};

c2dm.send(message, function(err, messageId){

});

Avoiding login procedure

You can avoid login procedure by manually setting Google ClientLogin Auth tokin in config for connection. First of all you need to get this token by executing next command after replacing ROLE_EMAIL, ROLE_PASSWORDPASS and YOURCOMPANY-YOURAPP-Version with your data:

$ curl -X POST https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin -d Email=ROLE_EMAIL -d Passwd=ROLE_PASSWORDPASS -d accountType=HOSTED_OR_GOOGLE -d service=ac2dm -d source=YOURCOMPANY-YOURAPP-Version

You will receive three lines. Skip SID and LSID and copy line starting with Auth=. Next include 'token' property into config data and fill it with this Auth=... line:

var config = {
    token: 'Auth=VVVVEEERY-HUDE-TOKEN',  // N.B. include with Auth= prefix
};
var c2dm = new C2DM(config);

Keep-alive connection

This module supports Connection: keep-alive header too keep connection to c2dm gate established. You could use it by simply including property in config:

var config = {
    ...
    keepAlive: true,  // it is false by default
};
