Hi Sandeep
Yes it is available in MC40 and TC 55.
The detailed tutorial for the same is available at http://docs.rhomobile.com/en/5.0.0/guide/push_notifications
Thank you.

To have GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) a device needs to have installed GMS (Google Mobile Services).

These are not available on the MC40 and on the TC55 Professional, only the TC55 Standard is sold with GMS installed.

To have push notification there're alternatives on the market that avoid to have to setup every unique device with a GoogleID (not always accepted by enterprises) and can provide more control to you.

RhoConnect Push is such a solution, as it is available with it's own device services that avoid to use GCM on Android:
Rhomobile | Setting Up for RhoConnect Push Service on Client Application

Another, open source, alternative can be to use MQTT, like on this demo app:
