[Q] GCM isn't working in my program - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decided to implement Google Cloud Messaging push notifications to notify users about news. I think it is topic messaging. For implement I took the Google GCM sample. I added all needed services, permissions and receiver in manifest. When I send a post request to Google GCM server, the response is true with message ID, but device doesn't notify. What is the matter? I tested in Bluestacks.
My manifest:
Code:

GCM Listener Service:

My POST request:
Code:
GCM Server
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization:key=mykey
{
"to": "/topics/global",
"data": {
"message": "This is a GCM Topic Message!",
}
}
I tested POST request. Android app tested on Bluestacks App Player. I noticed also the app is not in the running services in the settings. Also I tested the app on real phone, but notifications still does not come I have no use for a long time working on it. The issue is strangely. I checked my code - whole is true as in the Google sample and documentation.
