[aerogear-dev] Aerogear Cordova Push Plugin

[Burr Sutter]

My next round of testing, when is onNotification called, please help me think through the scenarios
1) Android: when the app is up and in the foreground - yes
2) iOS: when the app is up and in the foreground - yes
3) Android: when the app is not on - yes (user killed the app)
4) iOS: when the app is not on - yes (user killed the app)
5) Android: when device is on its "lock screen"/screen off - yes - android vibrates
6) * iOS: when device is on its "lock screen"/screen off - sometimes - iOS displays message on lock screen
7) Android: when app is on but in the background - yes
8) ** iOS: when app is on but in the background - NO

* seems to depend on how long the device has had its screen off
** this one seems to be a problem - as demonstrated in this video

It seems to me that the iOS app, in the background, should still have its onNotification method called to update its UI

My sample project deployed across all devices
