Hello,

I'm still struggling, for saying the least, with Aerogear documentation in order to make a Cordova / Android app  receive push notifications.
Amazingly one of the most unexpected issues has been with the correct string to use on URLs to register or sending the notifications.

Examples given by documentation:

Openshift:

curl -u "{PushApplicationID}:{MasterSecret}"
   -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json"
   -X POST
   -d '{
       "someKey":"someValue",
       "alert":"HELLO!",
       "sound":"default",
       "badge":7,
       "simple-push":"version=123"
     }'
http://SERVER:PORT/CONTEXT/rest/sender/broadcast

Aerogear:

curl -3 -u "{pushApplicationID}:{masterSecret}"
   -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json"
   -X POST -d '{"message": {"alert":"AeroGear UnifiedPush and Apache Cordova 3.0.6", "badge":1}}'
   https://SERVER:PORT/CONTEXT/rest/sender
  

How the above examples, apparently mean that, in my case, I must use something like: https://aerogear-metalpush.rhcloud.com/rest/sender
maybe is very obvious for someone inside Aerogear lingo, but not at all for me...

Anyway, after I managed to overcome this, the answer I get from the server is this one (stripped from more irrelevant parts):

> POST /rest/sender HTTP/1.1
> Authorization: Basic MDBhMjFjZTMtYTdkOS00YzhjLWI1ODMtOWYwMjEwYTYzNGU1Ojk0MTE4NmIzLWVjNmEtNGY0OC1iMjZiLTJkMDYxZWIyM2Q5Yg==
> User-Agent: curl/7.30.0
> Host: aerogear-metalpush.rhcloud.com
> Accept: application/json
> Content-type: application/json
> Content-Length: 50
>

* Connection #0 to host aerogear-metalpush.rhcloud.com left intact


As far as I can guess, this means that the request was accepted. Nevertheless, I receive nothing on the client's side.
On my phone the successHandler function throws a success message, meaning that the equipment has managed to register at the service.

And my code to receive the notifications is the same given in some examples:

function onNotification(e) {
    alert(e.alert);
)

But nothing happens, tough. Thanks for giving me some clues to solve this.

Miguel
