Not exactly.  These are handlers for status messages from GCM. 
onDeleteMessage is sent to the client when a notification has been 
removed from the server.  This can be because they notifications are 
being batched for instance.
See the GcmBroadcastReceiver sample code for details: 
https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gs.html

And the 
javadocs:https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/gcm/GoogleCloudMessaging.html#MESSAGE_TYPE_DELETED

As far as the error message handler goes, the docs aren't explicit, but 
I think I misread it and you are correct. It is a callback for when an 
error on the server happens receiving a message from the client.

+1 to a rename.

I like this one.
