That would be neat if I understand a simple way to send a push to a particular dude's phone. So far I've not yet understood how...
use an alias that is unique (E.g. the user-id in your backend):
curl -3 -u "{variantID}:{secret}" -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "deviceToken" : "someTokenString", "alias" : "myUniqueString" }' https://SERVER:PORT/context/rest/registry/deviceNow, the above does store this string (the
alias) on the device metadata.
Oh, since you are using Cordova, I translated the generic curl (from our REST API doc) to JavaScript:
var pushConfig = {
// senderID is only used in the Android/GCM case
senderID: "<senderID e.g Google Project ID only for android>",
pushServerURL: "<pushServerURL e.g http(s)//host:port/context >",
variantID: "<variantID e.g. 1234456-234320>",
variantSecret: "<variantSecret e.g. 1234456-234320>",
alias: "myUniqueString" // NOTE!! this must be unique to the user. Do not hard-code that string ;)
// Recommendation is: username;
// the user logins to your backend system. After a successful login you should know the username, which can than
// be used when the 'JavaScript' for the device registration is being executed;
}
//badge and sound are iOS specific, and ignored on Android
push.register(successHandler, errorHandler, {"badge": "true", "sound": "true",
"ecb": "onNotification", pushConfig: pushConfig});
