ANDROID NOTIFICATIONS USING CORDOVA AND IONIC
So you want to add push notifications to your Cordova/Android/Ionic app? I’ll walk through it. Most of this entry applies to Cordova and Android, in case you’ve made the mistake of NOT using Ionic…
Basic Info
Android notifications work through Google GCM (Google Cloud Messaging). You can read the details at http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html, but here’s the summary:
Here’s the narrative version: When your application starts up, the Android device registers with GCM server, which responds with a Registration ID. The device then sends the registration ID to our Message Server, which stores it for future use. Other information, such as the user’s name or location, can be sent for message targeting.
When we want to send out a notification, our Message Server sends the text to the GCM server, along with the registration ID and the API . The GCM server relays info to the device.
The GCM Server
Setting up your Google GCM server should be a fairly quick process. It’s a simple mechanism from our perspective, but does a lot of the heavy lifting for us. Follow these directions to get it running: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gs.html. Be sure to make note of your GCM Project ID, and your API Key. The Project ID will go into your Android app configuration, for registration. The API Key is used to send notifications.
The Notification Server
There are any number of ways to do this, and from what I’ve seen, folks often use custom code for this. Of coruse there are some off the shelf products. But for development, I recommend the node-gcm project https://github.com/ToothlessGear/node-gcm. It’s a super-simple way to communicate with the GCM server. First install
npm install node-gcm
Next set up a node script similar to this one:

var gcm = require('node-gcm');var message = new gcm.Message();//API Server Keyvar sender = new gcm.Sender('INSERT_YOUR_API_SENDER_KEY_HERE');var registrationIds = [];// Value the payload data to send...message.addData('message', "Hello Cordova!");message.addData('title','Push Notification Sample' );message.addData('msgcnt','2'); // Shows up in the notification in the status barmessage.addData('soundname','beep.wav'); //Sound to play upon notification receipt - put in the www folder in appmessage.collapseKey = 'demo';message.delayWhileIdle = true; //Default is falsemessage.timeToLive = 3000;// Duration in seconds to hold in GCM and retry before timing out. Default 4 weeks (2,419,200 seconds) if not specified.// At least one reg id requiredregistrationIds.push('THIS_IS_THE_REGISTRATION_ID_THAT_WAS_GENERATED_BY_GCM');/** * Parameters: message-literal, registrationIds-array, No. of retries, callback-function */sender.send(message, registrationIds, 4, function (err, result) { console.log(result);}); |
The Android App
As you know by now, you need a plugin to do just about anything in Cordova. So install the PushPlugin https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin. This should be the only plugin you need
for both Android and iOS. You might want to scan the instructions, but (as of now) they are both overly complicated and incomplete. For starters, you don’t need PlugMan to install. Just use:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin.git
The coding was a little bit tricky, but I finally managed a functional script for Ionic notifications. See inline comments for more information on what’s going on here:
