PushWoosh Register Callbacks Before User Chooses

I'm trying to implement push notifications using the PushWoosh phone gap plugin. All of the examples, have the registerDevice event occur on deviceReady. However, I want the users to not get notified right away; so, I delay the registrations.

My problem is that the callbacks for registerDevice occur BEFORE the user actually chooses to allow the notifications or not. So, I'm getting a status that shows push is disabled when the user never actually made a choice yet.

How can I prevent my callback from firing until AFTER the user chooses to allow or not allow push notifications.

pushNotification.registerDevice(
  function(status) {
  // THIS CALLBACK IS CALLED INSTANTLY
  console.log("Register device status callback!");
  console.log(status);

  },
  function(status) {
  console.log("Register device fail callback!");
  console.log(status);

  }
);
Solution

  • Unfortunately that is iOS behavior. It sends the callback even before user presses agree or not. However you can get the status of notifications (enabled/disabled).

    Call getRemoteNotificationStatus function in the plugin. If you don't have "pushAlert" consider push notifications disabled (user will never see the alert).

    That exactly what Skype does for example.
