Does anyone have any good links/tutorials for implementing Push notifications with Phonegap Build?

I have a project going on which needs to have push notifications, it's a JQuery Mobile app being compiled with Phonegap build. I'm planning to use Pushwoosh though I'm not fixed with that, another service would do if it works.

I've tried Holly Schinsky's tutorials, I've tried Pushwooshs. I've seen things on Github that don't work - has anyone got any other sources as Google seems to have none. or for that matter has anyone done this and has some code I can look at?

I've tried Pushwoosh's own help team as well as their site, but no-one seems to have a simple "do this then this then this" instruction.

I use PushPlugin (https://github.com/phonegap-build/Pus...), and it generally works. It has a few problems, such as on android multiple notifications override each other and you can only have 1 OS notification at any given point in time. Also you cannot cancel OS notifications. Both of these are features/enhancements that I have requested.

On your server-side you can use something like PushSharp, easy to use.

Just follow the steps on the github readme. I think Holly Schinsky's tutorials might be out of date.

Hi Abe,

Thanks. I'll take a look at that. Problems don't worry me yet - I'll be happy so far if I can just get something to push at all.

Michael.
