Using the plugin

The plugin creates the object window.plugin.notification.local with the following methods:

add()

The method allows to add a custom notification. It takes an hash as an argument to specify the notification's properties. All properties are optional. If no date object is given, the notification will popup immediately.

window.plugin.notification.local.add({
    date: date, // this expects a date object
    message: message, // the message that is displayed
    repeat: repeat, // has the options of daily', 'weekly',''monthly','yearly')
    badge: badge, // displays number badge to notification
    foreground: forground, // a javascript function to be called if the app is running
    background: background, // a javascript function to be called if the app is in the background
    sound: sound // (only iOS) a sound to be played, the sound must be located in your project's resources and must be a caf file
});

cancel()

The method cancels a notification which was previously added. It takes the ID of the notification as an argument.

window.plugin.notification.local.cancel(__id__);

cancelAll()

The method cancels all notifications which were previously added by the application.

window.plugin.notification.local.cancelAll();

Example

var now                  = new Date().getTime(),
    _60_seconds_from_now = new Date(now + 60*1000);

window.plugin.notification.local.add({
    date:       _60_seconds_from_now,
    message:    'Hello world!',
    repeat:     'weekly', // will fire every week on this day
    foreground: 'foreground',
    background: 'background'
});

function foreground (id) {
    console.log('I WAS RUNNING ID='+id)
}

function background (id) {
    console.log('I WAS IN THE BACKGROUND ID='+id)
}

Android: The message property can be devided into title and subtitle section:

message: "Title\r\nSubtitle comes after linebreak"
