Push notifications in Android only work when PhoneGap app is in foreground #135

Hi all,

Thanks for this amazing module.

For iOS devices everything works as expected, but for Android push notifications are only received when the app is in foreground.

I just asked a question about this behavior on StackOverflow. But then I realized it might be better to pose the question here.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

PS. When I am right about this, I would like to suggest to add a small comment to the set-up file that explains that the gcm id refers to the Firebase server key.

@pmkruyen sorry for the late reply. Not sure if you got any further with this in the meantime. I assume you are using for the phonegap-push-plugin for your app? The behaviour for Android of this plugin is described in https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/PAYLOAD.md#android-behaviour. It is recommended by the author to use a data only notification payload, which should also make the notification appear in the system tray when the app is in the background.
