Meteor app demonstrating the richsilv:cordova-notifications package
- Clone this repo.
- Set up a new Google Project, or enable an existing one for the GCM API by following the instructions here.
- Update lib/app.js with the SenderID (Project Number) and GCM API Key you generated in step 2.
- Plug in an Android device via USB and enable USB debugging.
- Start your app with
meteor run android-device. - Navigate to localhost:3000 on your dev machine browser.
- Set up a user account on either the Android device or the dev machine browser, and log in to the same account on the other (so that you're logged in on both simultaneously).
- Now you should be able to send push notifications from the browser to your android device. They will result in either a UI alert (if the application is open in the Android device) or a notifications tray alert (if it's closed). Note that this is still possible if you unplug the Android device and close the app.
