Push notifications with Ionic (1.3)? - ionic-framework

Question

I am trying to set up push notifications with Ionic, mainly by following the official docs: https://docs.ionic.io/services/push/.
However I'm not sure where to call certain bits of code, e.g. $ionicPush.register(). Has anyone come across a recent / up-to-date tutorial that's helpful with this? Tutorials that I've come across use deprecated bits of code, e.g. ionic add.

If you are using Ionic User as well here is the flow I use. These are various functions
$scope.signupForm={};//user object
$scope.beginSignUp=function(){
//sign up
var details = {
'email': $scope.signupForm.email,
'password': $scope.signupForm.pass,
'details':{
'name':$scope.signupForm.dn,
'image':$scope.signupForm.dp
}
}
Ionic.Auth.signup(details).then(signupSuccess, function(err){
});
}
$scope.signupSuccess=function(){
console.log("ionic sign up sucess, now login the user");
var authProvider = 'basic';
var authSettings = { 'remember': true };
var loginDetails = {
'email': $scope.signupForm.email,
'password': $scope.signupForm.pass
};
Ionic.Auth.login(authProvider, authSettings, loginDetails)
.then(authSuccess, function(err){
});
}
function authSuccess(){
console.log("Ionic Login Success ");
var ionic_user = Ionic.User.current();
ionic_user.details.name =$scope.signupForm.dn;
ionic_user.details.image = $scope.signupForm.dp;
ionic_user.save();
registerPush();
$ionicHistory.nextViewOptions({
disableBack: true
});
$state.go('home', {}, {reload: true});
}
function registerPush(){
console.log("Calling Register Push");
$ionicPush.init({
"debug": true,
"onNotification": function(notification) {
var payload = notification.payload;
console.log(notification, payload);
},
"onRegister": function(data) {
console.log(data.token);
Ionic.User.current();
$ionicPush.saveToken(data.token);
//unregister after checking
},
"pluginConfig": {
"ios": {
"badge": true,
"sound": true
},
"android": {
"iconColor": "#FA2B2E",
"senderID": "GCM Project No.",
"icon":"notification"
}
}
});
$ionicPush.register();
}
Use the model signupForm for storing user's email, password etc etc and call beginSignUp() on a button click. Or if it is a login call signupSuccess()
