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});
