fixed code. I think there were three problems:

1) incorrect syntax for adding comments. I used the java / objective-c syntax:

// this is a comment

instead of xml way

<!-- This is a comment -->

2) should have been <category android:name="com.pixtas.sup" />

(thank you berserk)

3), you need to add metadata for the notification icon. parse doc says this is optional, but it appears to be required, at least in some cases. ( Android - unable to launch receiver com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver )

<meta-data
            android:name="com.parse.push.notification_icon"
            android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

(thanks Ahmad Raza)
