GCMBroadcastReceiver lacks WAKE_LOCK permission that is declared in manifest

Question

I've implemented GCM as closely to Google's examples as I can, but the default GCMBroadcastReceiver is throwing a SecurityException for lack of the WAKE_LOCK permission. I require it in the my manifest, though, so AFAIK it should have that permission at run-time. Here's the relevant portion of my manifest:

<permission
    android:name="PACKAGENAME.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="PACKAGENAME.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

<permission
    android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"
    android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />

<application
    android:name=".App"
    android:icon="@drawable/app"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
    <service android:name=".GCMIntentService" />

    <receiver
        android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
        android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />

            <category android:name="PACKAGENAME" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

The exception I see in the log file is:

07-09 13:32:58.238: E/AndroidRuntime(2723): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 10072 nor current process has android.permission.WAKE_LOCK.

Answer 1

I wasn't calling GCMRegistrar.onDestroy() in the onDestroy() method of the activity in which I registered to receive messages. For some reason that caused it to complain about not having WAKE_LOCK, but only on the 4.0.4 device.

Answer 2

You should use:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>

instead of:

<permission
    android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"
    android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem" />
