am planning to use gcm push notifications. I have gotten my api key. I understand that gcm requires each device to register before using the gcm service. What i am not clear about is the meaning of registration? Does each device user need to have a google account for the app to work on his device? Or any email address would do? Any clarification would help.

I have implemented GCM in my project.
There is no need of google account for registering device with GCM.
Just you need sender id, API key and after registration GCM will send you registration id.
Send that id to your server and server will send message to GCM with that registration id.
Just you need to handle receiver in your manifest file.
If you need any help let me know.
