Moodle for mobile

Currently I am getting this : 

 Starting new HTTPS connection (1): android.googleapis.com
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/packages/airnotifier/api/push.py", line 132, in post
    response = gcm.process(token=[self.token], alert=data['alert'], extra=data['extra'], gcm=data['gcm'])
  File "/opt/packages/airnotifier/pushservices/gcm.py", line 95, in process
    return self.send(kwargs['token'], data=data, collapse_key=collapse_key, ttl=ttl)

    raise SSLError(e, request=request)
SSLError: bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE', 'certificate verify failed')],)

I believe thats because GCM is trying to connect to android.googleapis.com:443 via SSL . 

Question is : What certificate and Key do I pass to Airnotifier ( how to create it ? ) 

I created a self signed cert and private key using the open_ssl command but it doesnt seem to work.
