App crashed when push sent

Could be a bunch of different things, and here is what we need to do to find out.

Go to your logcat, and make sure you have it at least set for debug, if not verbose.
Run the app again, and initiate the workflow needed to generate the push message. The app will crash, but what we are most interested in is the string of error messages ( mine are in red, yours may be set up different ) that happen right at the end.

Post the whole chunk of them here, and i will help you figure it out. This simple step is probably one of the most important things to get comfortable doing, as you make changes and eventually end up breaking things. Logcat will almost always give you good information on why it stopped working, and the specific activity, class, and or line number where the problem started.

That's the log:

Cool, it looks like you are running into null pointer exceptions, when parse tries to execute some of its built in methods.

Can you copy and paste your entire AndroidManifest.xml?

And if you could, also paste the contents of the class you use to initialize your parse api key, and set the installations and callbacks. If you havent changed the names, it should be called ribbitapplication.

In onCreate, you are missing the part where you setup the necessary callback for the PushService.

Right after you initialize Parse and before your firstcall to .getCurrentInstallation() type in :

PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, MainActivity.class)

Try that, see what happens

That callback is responsible for the handling of the Pushnotification, and Parse will look for what you define there, and when it tries to handle the push notification.

No, still crashes...

BTW thanks for the help!

You using Github or anything like that? So i can see all your class files?
