Ability to pick up the GCM sender ID from the Android app's config

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

This feature request follows the discussion on the android-gcm mailing list 
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-gcm/T0FFavXQcmA

------------------------------------------------------------
We have different Google API projects for different environments that we have - 
dev, test, prod. These were created for OAuth2 integration earlier and we are 
looking at enabling Google Cloud Messaging for all these projects and use them 
in respective environments (we want to use the environment specific project IDs 
to keep GCM statistics for these isolated).

So, we would like to have the ability to pick-up the sender ID (based on the 
env the APK is built for) from our Android client's config file instead of 
hard-coding it in the code.

The issue we are facing is that GCMBaseIntentService expects sender ID to be 
passed in its constructor, where the app context is not available, else I could 
have fetched the config using it.
------------------------------------------------------------

The above mentioned mailing-list suggests a code change that will help such 
use-cases.

Thanks for your support.
