how to handle onNotification event in ngCordova push plugin - ionic-framework

Question

as a code template doing it like this,
.controller('PushNotificationsCtrl', function ($scope, $cordovaPush) {
var androidConfig = {
"senderID":"372433177444",
"ecb":"onNotification"
};
$cordovaPush.register(androidConfig).then(function(result) {
// Success!
$scope.pushSuccess = result
}, function(err) {
$scope.pushSuccess = err;
});
I manage to successfully get an RegID from GCM. But then how do I manage onNotification from androidConfig ?

Answer 1

i found the solution.
instead of doing this :
var androidConfig = {
"senderID":"372433177444",
"ecb":"onNotification"
};
I do like this :
var androidConfig = {
"senderID":"372433177444",
"ecb":"window.onNotification"
};
then
window.onNotification = function(e) {
switch( e.event )
{
case 'registered':
if ( e.regid.length > 0 )
{
console.log("Your regID is : " + e.regid);
}
break;
case 'message':
// this is the actual push notification. its format depends on the data model from the push server
console.log('message = '+e.message);
angular.element(document.querySelector('#yata')).html(e.message);
break;
case 'error':
console.log('GCM error = '+e.msg);
break;
default:
console.log('An unknown GCM event has occurred');
break;
}
};
all work as expected now :)

Change the following code to ng-cordova.js:
//config.ecb = 'angular.element(' + injector + ').injector().get(\'$cordovaPush\').onNotification';
config.ecb = "angular.element(" + injector + ").injector().get('$cordovaPush').onNotification";
and then set the options configuration object as follows:
var options = {
android: {
senderID: "789175757493",
ecb:"onNotification",
forceShow: true
},
}
It will display notifications in notification drawer when application is opened.
