Android : Parse SDK implement custom BroadcastReceiver for push notifications in android

This is indeed very annoying. I am trying to get started with parse push notification on android, but I could not find any way to implement my own BroadcastReceiver which would perform action in response to a push notification.

In their getting started, they give a program sample where the receiver and the intent service is contained in the jar file(and not implemented in the code, so that I could try and play with it.). A similar question has been asked here But its two years old and the answer has 11 downvotes.

There are a few other blog posts, e.g. as in here , but none of them work properly(the one in that link was anyways 2 years old and the world of IT changes a LOT in 2 years time span).

So please kindly suggest a proper step by step way to implement the same and if possible, (since parse.com guys are there on stackoverflow.com as well) put that in your site somewhere.
