Telerik Push Notifications Plugin

Description

The Telerik Push Notifications is based on the Phonegap Push Plugin.

It contains some bug fixes and new features and is easily integrated with Telerik Backend Services.

Using with Telerik Backend Services

In order to use the plugin with Telerik Backend Services, which supports iOS, Android, WP8 and Windows 8, take a look at the official documentation:

For further information you can take a look into the Backend Services hybrid push notifications samples:

Features

  • Register a device for push notifications

       var deviceSpecificOptions = { ... }; // set the device specific options here
   pushNotification.register(successHandler, errorHandler, deviceSpecificOptions);

  • Unregister a device from push notifications

      pushNotification.unregister(successHandler, errorHandler, options);

  • iOS 8 interactive push notifications support (available from v.2.5 and above)

      // Get the push plugin instance
  var pushPlugin = window.plugins.pushNotification;

  // Define a new Read Action
	var readAction = {
  	identifier: 'READ_IDENTIFIER', // mandatory
  	title: 'Read', // mandatory
  	activationMode: pushPlugin.UserNotificationActivationMode.Foreground, // default: Background
  	destructive: false, // default: false
  	authenticationRequired: true // default: false
	};

	// Define a new Ignore Action. Defaults are commented out
	var ignoreAction = {
      identifier: 'IGNORE_IDENTIFIER',
  	title: 'Ignore'
  	//activationMode: pushPlugin.UserNotificationActivationMode.Background,
  	//destructive: false,
  	//authenticationRequired: false
	};

	// Define a new Delete Action. Defaults are commented out.
	var deleteAction = {
      identifier: 'DELETE_IDENTIFIER',
  	title: 'Delete',
  	//activationMode: pushPlugin.UserNotificationActivationMode.Background,
  	destructive: true,
  	authenticationRequired: true
	};

  // Define a read category with default and minimal context actions
	var readCategory = {
  	identifier: 'READ_CATEGORY', // mandatory
  	actionsForDefaultContext: [readAction, ignoreAction, deleteAction], // mandatory
  	actionsForMinimalContext: [readAction, deleteAction]  // mandatory
	};

  // Define another category, with different set of actions
	var otherCategory = {
      identifier: 'OTHER_CATEGORY', // mandatory
  	actionsForDefaultContext: [ignoreAction, deleteAction], // mandatory
  	actionsForMinimalContext: [deleteAction]  // mandatory
	};

  // Register the category and the other interactive settings.
	pushPlugin.registerUserNotificationSettings(
    	// the success callback which will immediately return (APNs is not contacted for this)
    	onUserNotificationSettingsReady,
    	// called in case the configuration is incorrect
    	errorHandler,
    	{
      		// asking permission for these features
      		types: [
        			pushPlugin.UserNotificationTypes.Alert,
  	      		pushPlugin.UserNotificationTypes.Badge,
            		pushPlugin.UserNotificationTypes.Sound
      		],
      		// register these categories
      		categories: [
        			readCategory,
        			otherCategory
      		]
    	}
	);

  • Set an application icon badge number (iOS only)

      // sets the application badge to the provided value 
  // if badge === 0 clears out the badge 
  pushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(successCallback, errorCallback, badge)

  • Check if the user has disabled push notifications on the device

      // Checks whether Push Notifications are enabled for this Application on the Device 
  pushNotification.areNotificationsEnabled(successCallback, errorCallback, options);

  • Handling multiple notifications on Android devices - Since version 2.4.3 of this plugin, all new notifications are stacked in the notification panel and do not replace previous notifications by default. To change this behavior and control which notifications are replaced and which are not, pass a notId key in the notification payload.

    • To always stack new notifications, don't pass the notId value.

      	"data": {
		"title": "Hello",
            "message": "Always stack the notification.", 
	}

    • To always replace existing notifications, use the same positive (> 0) notId value for all notifications.

      	"data": {
    	"title": "Hello",
        "message": "Always replace the notification.",
        "notId": 1 // send the same notId every time 
	}

    • If your application supports different kinds of push notifications, you can use a mixed approach based on your business logic. Notifications that are sent with the same notId value are replaced automatically, so only the last one is visible. For the rest of the notifications which should be stacked, just do not send a notId key in the payload.

      	"data": {
		"title": "Hello",
		"message": "This notification will be stacked."
		"notId": 5
	}

	"data": {
		"title": "Hello",
		"message": "This notification will be stacked."
		"notId": 6
	}

	"data": {
		"title": "Hello",
		"message": "This notification will replace the first one."
		"notId": 5
	}
