Drupal Rules and DrupalGap Push Notifications

[mkinnan]

Integrating push notifications with rules is now possible. I've tested and it works. Rules is configured to send just a message (no option for title, sound, etc.). Should rules be where the title, message, count, etc. gets configured? Or does hook_push_notifications_receive() override any message sent by the push notification module to drupalgap?

@mkinnan Yes, the push notifications module up in Drupal is where the magic needs to happen. It appears they don't allow for sending anything other than the message. It'd be awesome to be able to specify those extra data properties.

The hook_push_notifications_receive() in the DrupalGap SDK is where the developer decides what to do with the notification once it is received on the app. It used to auto alert the push notification, but I figure (and a client already needed) a way to customize what happens when the notification is received.

Either way, at this point I've only successfully received a message, none of those other data options provided by the PhoneGap/Cordova plugin. I'd check out the issue queue on d.o for push_notifications to see what progress/issues are out there in regards to improving the flexibility on the Drupal side.

I am looking into the push notifications module for drupal. Putting some links here for reference later:

It looks like the push notifications module needs to be split up more in the code to do more in terms of title, message, sound, etc between iOS and Android. It appears this is a default for both iOS and Android

$payload = array('alert' => $message);

Made some changes to the d.o push notifications module ... just the admin/config/services/push_notifications/message page for right now. I'll tinker and try to add option for icons and sounds. Once I get that figured out, will try to get it working on rules. Then make a patch and post on the d.o issue queue.

Title functionality added and PHP evaluation for rules:
