Cordova 3.2 + Everlive + Push Notification = No App Title

[UT]

Hi there, first of all, thanks for the great work you've done.
Now the glitch:
Compiled the app with Icenium Graphite and Cordova 3.2 using custom pushPlugin 2.1.1.
While sending push notifications via Everlive API, and Everlive Website, App Title is not displayed, but message is received. 
Could be related to these:
https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/issues/101
https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/issues/112

That's ok. But the problem, is their solution.
They're suggesting to send the title also with the message.
But I think that is something I can not do with Everlive API.

What would you suggest?

EDIT: Also, are there currently any problems with the service, as I can not send Push notifications on 2014-01-24 12:48 GMT?

Cheers,
Devrim.

Hi,

Seems that the new versions of the PushPlugin allow the sender to configure the app title displayed in a push message that targets Android devices.

So far this option is unavailable through the Telerik Backend Services UI portal, but can be easily achieved using the REST API and the JS SDK. Please, refer to the code samples below.

We configure a notification object that has two fields:
-  "Message" that is going to be delivered to platforms different from Android
-  "Android" field that passes the notification object for Android devices

Thus we can create and send a notification that is going to be delivered to devices from all platforms and Android devices will have the title in their notifications.

1. JavaScript SDK example:

var el = new Everlive('mTE5GTCnWpAhnjR0');



var notification = {

    "Message": "Push message from my app",

    "Android": { "data": { "title": "Your-App-Title-Here", "message": "Push message from my app" } }

}



el.push.notifications.create(notification,

    function (data) {

        alert(JSON.stringify(data));

    },

    function (error) {

        alert(JSON.stringify(error));

    });

2. REST API example
Send a POST request to: http://api.everlive.com/v1/your-api-key-here/Push/Notifications with the following data:

{
  "Message" : "Push Message from my app",
  "Android" : {"data" : { "title" : "Your-App-Title-Here", "message" : "Push message from my app"}}
}

Please, let us know if this is helpful for you.

Hello Divya,

This error is expected to occur and appears in the debug console. Here is the explanation for such behavior:  when enabling the notifications in the sample app it checks if the device (respectively the simulator) is already registered in the backend. If the device is not registered, (e.g. the error code returned by the server is 801) the user is prompted to 'Register' the device. This error appears in the debug console as 404 (Not Found), but it is handled in the client-side code.

Let us know if this answers your question.
