Cordova Socket Notifications Example

cordova-socket-notification-example.coffee

###
Setup
###

# ...in the app.config
SocketProvider.setLocation url

# ... in the app.boostrap
Socket.connect()
Socket.listen()

###
Socket Service Class
... assumes that we have a socket connection already
###

socket.listen = ->
  $cordovaBackground.enable()

  ###
  Receive all events from the socket, and using the data, display a local notification (same as push).
  Because the app is now running in the background, any received and displayed local notification will light up the phone.
  ...boom.
  ###
  socket.on 'receive', (e, data) =>
    $cordovaLocalNotification.display(...put your display params here)
