[aerogear-dev] notification alert and app launched displays the alert

[Raj Nukala]

Well , I am using the cordova plugin to send push notifications. Also when i say rich media message notification , I mean a rich message displayed on home screen / lock screen. 

How do i get the alias field to work for deviceId ?
Further more , when the app registers , does aero gear also capture the gps coordinates ?


Regards

Right! and, as a little 'work-around', you cold store the registrationID on the alias value -  That way you can send to a specific device, leveraging the 'alias' feature ;-)
