Use Google's API Console to create a project for use with this service - https://code.google.com/apis/console/

creation to identify the sender. For example: https://code.google.com/apis/console/#project:481516234

application: pushNotification.register(successHandler, errorHandler, {"senderID": "4815162342" ,"ecb":"onNotificationGCM"});

An API Key is also needed from the Google API console project for sending a notification from 3rd party server.

Register app with a call to the GCM Service via PushPlugin.
Registration ID is returned and app stores on 3rd party server for use when message needs to be sent.
3rd party server sends a message through GCM Service using an API key and registration ID (or arrary of IDs).

Registration ID Handling

Google recommends handling multiple possible com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION intents when designing your app.
Register the id on the 3rd party server when the application is updated and when backed up and restored.
If registration_id is found in the extra of the REGISTRATION intent, the application should also register it again on the server.
