Add support for reporting location to server URL when specific GCM/APN arrives about phonegap-plugin-push HOT 9 OPEN

@uriva Yes, this plugin is currently up and working. It sounds interesting but I'd like to see support for Android, iOS and soon to be Windows Phone before adding it as a new feature.

@uriva you don't need to close this issue but we could move it to an enhancement.

from phonegap-plugin-push.

Reopening as I see my current master push-plugin repository is deprecated, so I prefer to add to this one. Please add to enhancements.

I can write only the Android case, because I don't have knowledge / tools for iOS or Windows.
Is anybody up for it?

from phonegap-plugin-push.

The cold-start background notification feature, specifically the event proposed here would already make that possible without having to resort to extra native code, and would already work on all platforms. And I'd rather it be on javascript side, so that any customizations to the request made to the server could be done easily.

iiuc, this functionality is currently available in android, and the issue is just for ios?

from phonegap-plugin-push.

No, unfortunately it's not available in any platform yet.

There are two issues that prevents #93 from being a complete solution:

1. The functionality isn't available if a user "ends task" through the square button (no deal breaker and I saw that there are other issues debating this)
2. If you call navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition from the pushPlugin callback, it will not work (the callback given to getCurrentPosition won't get called) until the user has actually entered the app.

I know that you guys are aware of the first issue, but perhaps the second one is new information. If you have any ideas how to bypass this that would be great, e.g. if we can make android think this is foreground javascript somehow (I assume that natively that call would have been allowed from a background process?)
