I'm using the Cordova Push Notifications Plugin 1.3.4 with my Cordova/Phonegap App. Unfortunately, when receiving a push notification, the ecb callback in my JavaScript is never fired and I can't handle the push notification (not even when the app is running in foreground).
I'm using the example code from the demo:
pushNotification.register(tokenHandler, errorHandler, {"badge": "true", "sound": "true", "alert": "true", "ecb": "onNotificationAPN"});
The registration is successful, but the following callback is never triggered:
function onNotificationAPN (event) {
if (event.alert)
{
navigator.notification.alert(event.alert);
}
}
The problem is the way you defined your callback function, causing the Push Plugin's evaluation of your callback (i.e., via [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString
) to fail, since it will not be aware of it.
If you define your callback function as a global object instead, the plugin will trigger your callback correctly every time a new notification arrives:
onNotificationAPN = function(event) {
if (event.alert)
{
navigator.notification.alert(event.alert);
};
};
For Android, you'd define your onNotificationGCM
callback the same way.
Mobiletainment's answer fixed it for me! I've been searching all afternoon for the solution to this, albeit for the GCM callback, but the functionality is the same.
I'd upvote Mobiletainment, but I'm new here and it won't let me, but thanks!
For anyone that may be searching for a GCM solution (which there are many in the Googleverse without many good answers) here was my code that finally worked:
// handle GCM notifications for Android
onNotificationGCM = function(e){
alert('onGCM');
switch( e.event )
{
case 'registered':
if ( e.regid.length > 0 )
{
console.log("Regid " + e.regid);
//Do registration work here...
}
break;
case 'message':
// this is the actual push notification. its format depends on the data model from the push server
alert('message = '+e.message+' msgcnt = '+e.msgcnt);
break;
case 'error':
alert('GCM error = '+e.msg);
break;
default:
alert('An unknown GCM event has occurred');
break;
}
}
If you are using with azure push..below is the working code.(pushplugin for phonegap)
function InitpushNotificaions() {
// alert("Notification setup");
try {
mobileServiceClient = new WindowsAzure.MobileServiceClient('https://mobbacktest.azure-mobile.net/', 'RvahPxHKoEsGiLdlCYZpHBllvSVQxl66');
pushNotification = window.plugins.pushNotification;
if (device.platform == 'android' || device.platform == 'Android' ||
device.platform == 'amazon-fireos')
{
// AndroId
pushNotification.register(successHandler, errorHandler, { "senderID": "724086851305", "ecb": "onNotification" }); // required!
}
else
{
//IOS
pushNotification.register(tokenHandler, errorHandler, { "badge": "true", "sound": "true", "alert": "true", "ecb": "onNotificationAPN" }); // required!
}
}
catch (err) {
txt = "There was an error on this page.\n\n";
txt += "Error description: " + err.message + "\n\n";
alert(txt);
}
}
// handle APNS notifications for iOS
onNotificationAPN=function (e) {
if (e.alert) {
$("#app-status-ul").append('<li>push-notification: ' + e.alert + '</li>');
// showing an alert also requires the org.apache.cordova.dialogs plugin
navigator.notification.alert(e.alert);
}
if (e.sound) {
// playing a sound also requires the org.apache.cordova.media plugin
var snd = new Media(e.sound);
snd.play();
}
if (e.badge) {
pushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(successHandler, e.badge);
}
}
//handle GCM notifications for Android
onNotification = function (e) {
// alert("gcm");
switch (e.event) {
case 'registered':
if (e.regid.length > 0) {
// Your GCM push server needs to know the regID before it can push to this device
// here is where you might want to send it the regID for later use.
// alert('step 1 Azure! ' + e.regid);
if (mobileServiceClient) {
// alert('step 2 Azure!');
// Template registration.
var template = "{ \"data\" : {\"message\":\"$(message)\"}}";
// Register for notifications.
mobileServiceClient.push.gcm.registerTemplate(e.regid,
"myTemplate", template, null)
.done(function () {
// alert('Registered template with Azure!');
}).fail(function (error) {
//alert('Failed registering with Azure: ' + error);
});
}
console.log("regID = " + e.regid);
}
break;
case 'message':
// if this flag is set, this notification happened while we were in the foreground.
// you might want to play a sound to get the user's attention, throw up a dialog, etc.
if (e.foreground) {
// on Android soundname is outside the payload.
// On Amazon FireOS all custom attributes are contained within payload
var soundfile = e.soundname || e.payload.sound;
// if the notification contains a soundname, play it.
// playing a sound also requires the org.apache.cordova.media plugin
var my_media = new Media("/res/" + beep.wav);
alert("Message:"+e.message);
my_media.play();
}
else { // otherwise we were launched because the user touched a notification in the notification tray.
if (e.coldstart) {
}
else {
}
}
break;
case 'error':
break;
default:
break;
}
}
function tokenHandler(result)
{
// $("#app-status-ul").append('<li>token: '+ result +'</li>');
// Your iOS push server needs to know the token before it can push to this device
// here is where you might want to send it the token for later use.
