Yes, I believe we are talking about the same key (I did only a brief check on GCM documentation and thought it's called Sender Id, my bad). Still, I am not exactly sure how Google reacts if/once you start sending push notifications from multiple IPs. I tend to think people are usually limiting the IP space allowed to send notifications instead of depending on no filtering takes place at all.
But if this is not an issue, I see absolutely no reason why this couldn't work.

Hi Harri Smatt,--Sender Id needs to be in the App to register with GCM server and get the GCM ID. I believe you are referring to GCM API key.We will be encrypting the GCM API Key in our app.On top of that we will be using DexGuard to obfuscate the code.And more over sending message to GCM is an HTTPS call.Considering all the above, we think that it should be secure enough.Thanks a lot for your reply. Do you foresee any other issues?Varun

Is following such an implementation correct?
Guess it works - but isn't it any concern to you that you need to bundle your Sender Id, usually stored only on 3rd party application server, within the application?
And, well, can't tell how Google reacts once their GCM server gets hammered from millions, if not trillions, different IPs with your Sender Id.—H
