Android/CloudBoost: Push Notifications With JavaSDK and GCM (Google play services)

NB: you can now read this post at my new site: http://www.egimaben.com/androidcloudboost-push-notifications-with-javasdk-and-gcm-google-play-services/
CloudBoost has made several new developments to its ecosystem in the past few weeks. Some of which include:

1. Swagger API documentation: getting your way around the raw REST API for CloudBoost is no trivial task. This is no surprise considering the complexity that has been abstracted away for the developer by this BaaS. This is why there is need for the Software Development Kits in different languages to further hide this complexity. However, for the hackers that want to dig in and inspect Request Bodies and Responses, the Swagger-UI was launched on 15th March,2016.
