Messages not being received by ADM client - amazon-web-services

Question

I'm trying to send SNS messages to a Firephone and while I seem to be sending the messages (to somewhere), nothing appears to be getting through to my firephone.
I was able to use the code in the documentation to create the KindleMobilePushApp, was able to generate a RegistrationID, I created the security profile for the test app, etc. I'm assuming that I must have done something right if I'm getting a registration ID.
Then I tried to send a message to the phone, using the Kindle demo app to receive the message but nothing seems to come through, the "onMessage" method of ADMHandler is never called.
I tried to send message both via the AWS SNS console, and through the java app provided in the documentation (sns.samples.mobilepush), the Java app seems to be publishing something, but once again, its not coming through to my firephone, or at least not being received by my Receiver class.
I've never used SNS before, so I'm ot sure where the problem is coming form, whether I'm not sending to the right endpoint, or the somehow my app isn't getting the messages its supposed to be getting. CloudWatch is reporting same number for "messages published" and "messages failed" but really no clue what's happening to the message.
Any thoughts where I should be looking? Below my manifest, and publish results from the java sender program.

Here's the output when I use the MobilePushApp sample program:

Whoops, this didn't work because SNS messaging wasn't enabled on the App in the developer portal.
