Send Notification When Inviting To Multiplayer Game (game Services)

I’m playing around with Google Play Game Services and multiplayer support. If I invite a player with this service, is it possible to send a notification to the receiver automatic

Solution 1:

notifications are supported and will be sent to the receiving player... if the players are not in each other's circles sometimes the notification does not get displayed, depending on the receiver's settings. maybe that is why you haven't received any?

Solution 2:

Ok, I finally solved much thanks to @smiller.

First of all I had my test account circled just as Following. This is not enough! Some other circle (Friend, Familiy etc) has to be used. If the person is just in the following circle, onRoomCreated is called with status code 6 (STATUS_NETWORK_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILED) on the inviter's application.

A secondary problem I had was that data synchronizing was turned off on my device. Obviously this has to be turn on. Unfortunately the inviter never get some feedback on this, it just waits forever.
