The new background notifications are meant for fetching content while the app is in the background. The push notification is used to trigger this fetching. It is not for receiving messages, but used as a trigger for the fetching of content. Adding this to the push plugin would just bloat it and confuse users to what it's for.

Adding only background fetch for push notifications is only one of 2 services that iOS supports for doing background fetching, there is also the option of scheduled fetching.

If we want to support both usecases in one plugin then we need to add an handler for the fetching of content and setting the result of the fetch operation. Better would be to use the https://github.com/edewit/cordova-background-plugin instead.
