// detatchDevice detaches a device from a gateway.
func detachDevice(deviceID string, client mqtt.Client, jwt string) error {
	detachTopic := fmt.Sprintf("/devices/%s/detach", deviceID)
	fmt.Printf("Detaching device: %s\n", detachTopic)

	detachPayload := "{}"
	if jwt != "" {
		detachPayload = fmt.Sprintf("{ 'authorization' : %s }", jwt)
	}

	if token := client.Publish(detachTopic, 1, false, detachPayload); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
		return token.Error()
	}
	return nil
}

Java

final String detachTopic = String.format("/devices/%s/detach", deviceId);
System.out.println(String.format("Detaching: %s", detachTopic));
String attachPayload = "{}";
MqttMessage message = new MqttMessage(attachPayload.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name()));
message.setQos(1);
client.publish(detachTopic, message);
