To write your client code, we recommend that you use the new <a href="{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/gcm/GoogleCloudMessaging.html">{@code GoogleCloudMessaging}</a> APIs. The client helper library that was offered in previous versions of GCM still works, but it has been superseded by the more efficient <a href="{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/gcm/GoogleCloudMessaging.html">{@code GoogleCloudMessaging}</a> APIs.</p> 19 20 <p>A full GCM implementation requires both a client implementation and a server-side implementation. For a step-by-step guide to creating a complete sample implementation that includes both client and server, see <a href="gs.html">Getting Started</a>. </p> 21 22 <p> 23 24 25
