Locale Changing within app is not working

I am trying to change the language of the app but it's not happening.I have tried almost all solutions available in SO but none worked. Interesting fact is most of the codes are able to change the language of the Facebook Account Kit activity but other activity's language is not being changed.Below is my application class and manifest file.
public class MyApplication extends Application {
private Locale locale = null;
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
if (locale != null)
{
newConfig.locale = locale;
Locale.setDefault(locale);
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(newConfig, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
Configuration config = getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration();
new SharedPrefManager(this).setLanguage("fr");
String lang = new SharedPrefManager(this).getLanguage();
locale = new Locale(lang);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
AccountKit.initialize(getApplicationContext());
}
}

How to programmatically change language?
http://blog.nkdroidsolutions.com/change-language-programmatically-android-app-building-multi-language-supported-app/
https://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/languages.html
Change languages in app via strings.xml

You can change your language (i18N) as below :
public static void changeLanguage(String language, Context context) {
try {
if ( null != language) {
Locale locale = new Locale(language);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}
Log.i(TAG, "Language changed to " + language);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "[changeLanguage]" + e.getMessage());
}
}
I have one open-source project on GitHub. Drive-in yourself at https://github.com/configurer/easy-screen-lock/blob/master/EasyScreenLock/src/com/configurer/easyscreenlock/utils/LanguageUtils.java

Receiver in manifest file is giving error class or interface expected

There is an error in the manifest file that when I try to enter reciever it says class or interface expected
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

The receiver class which is not added is this
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

String roomard ;

public AlarmReceiver() {
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

else

}
public void Send_sms(String msg,Context c)
{

if (alarmUri == null) {
alarmUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
}
Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(c, alarmUri);
ringtone.play();
}
}

<receiver android:name="AlarmReceiver"/>
This line should be with in the application tag and give the fully qualified Receiver name. like below

}
}
and from java code I am sending push like this :
ParseQuery<ParseInstallation> query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
query.whereEqualTo("device_id", target);
ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
push.setQuery(query);
push.setMessage(message);
push.setExpirationTimeInterval(86400);
push.sendInBackground();
Please tell me where I am wrong for recieving data using reciever and what to do when i recive push means any logic or idea to move further . Thanks in advance

here is the manifiest file.....
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</application>
</manifest>
use this code to receive the push...
public class MyCustomReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
String title, from, msg;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String message = extras != null ? extras.getString("com.parse.Data")

JSONObject jObject;
try {

from = jObject.getString("from");
msg = jObject.getString("title");
title = jObject.getString("msg");

gcmMessage.setMsg_body(msg);
gcmMessage.setMsg_title(title);
gcmMessage.setType(0);
gcmMessage.setDateTime(time);
DatabaseUtil.insertMessage(context, gcmMessage);
}
}
catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
and here is the code to send push...
JSONObject obj;
try {
obj =new JSONObject();
obj.put("alert","oman expert ");
obj.put("action","Your Package name.UPDATE_STATUS");
data.put("from", ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
obj.put("msg","hi");
obj.put("title","msg");
ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
ParseQuery query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
push.setQuery(query);
push.setData(obj);
push.sendInBackground();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
for any further query please let me know....

In the above code example, you have missed out few things,
Check your AndroidManifest.xml file, and add c2dm permissions,
permission android:name="your package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature"
uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"
uses-permission android:name="your package.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
While sending the data, set the action in your data,
JSONObject data = new JSONObject();
try {
data.put("action", "your package.GOT_MESSAGE");
data.put("ya", ya);
data.put("from", ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
ParsePush parsePush = new ParsePush();
parsePush.setData(data);

GCM no receive messages in 2.3.6 but it's ok in 4.1.2

The problem is only with android 2.3.6 .
With 4.x, there isn't any problem, the receiver it's ok.
I have received the registration ID with 2.3.6 but the messages are never received.

Check the Google play services version number and there is a pretty defined method to check Google play services a availability

Latest release of gcm using google play is very easy to implement and can be used for longer time.
See this tutorial. Hope it might help.

How to implement Push Notifications in Android

I am trying from more than a day to implement a simple PUSH notification using gcm, but unable to implement it.
When ever I am adding this permission
<permission android:name="Android.Test.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
I get this error message while debugging via mobile device
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Android.Test
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]
Can somebody suggest me what I am doing. for further help I am putting my whole manifest.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Edit 1:
This is how I am trying to send the message from C# to my android device.....I found this code from the blog.
private string SendGCMNotification(string apiKey, string postData, string postDataContentType = "application/json")
{
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate);
//
// MESSAGE CONTENT
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
//
// CREATE REQUEST
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
Request.Method = "POST";
Request.KeepAlive = false;
Request.ContentType = postDataContentType;
Request.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", apiKey));
Request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = Request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
//
// SEND MESSAGE
try
{
WebResponse Response = Request.GetResponse();
HttpStatusCode ResponseCode = ((HttpWebResponse)Response).StatusCode;
if (ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized) || ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden))
{
var text = "Unauthorized - need new token";
}
else if (!ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.OK))
{
var text = "Response from web service isn't OK";
}
StreamReader Reader = new StreamReader(Response.GetResponseStream());
string responseLine = Reader.ReadToEnd();
Reader.Close();
return responseLine;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
return "error";
}
This is what I am getting in the responseLine code
{"multicast_id":7357801824672,"success":0,"failure":1,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"error":"InvalidRegistration"}]}
Thanks

Your response code contains the answer, you are passing invalid registration_ids
"results":[{"error":"InvalidRegistration"}]
Sample php code:
$postdata = array(
'registration_ids' => array('your_device_registration_key'),
'data' => 'message'
);
$headers = array(
'Authorization: key=' . YOUR_API_KEY,
'Content-Type: application/json'
);
