Hybrid App running on Lock Screen

I'm developing a Hybrid app that makes it possible to make phone calls using a telehpony server sold by the company I work for. the problem is that when there's an incomming call the phone rings but I have to be able to show the call on the lock screen, like a regular call.

Is this posible to acomplish using just JS? or maybe a library or framework?, the best case scenario would be getting it to work without using a cordova plugin.

EDIT:

Im using the Notification API to show notifications in the status bar, can I acomplish the result using the same API?

var options = {
                dir: 'auto',
                body: '',
                noscreen: false,
                sticky: true,
                timestamp: dts
            };
notification = new Notification('New Message from ' + mensaje.sourceagent, options);
Solution

  • No. As far as I know, it is not possible. That said, there are many simple plugins that would allow you to display notifications above the lock screen, such as cordova-plugin-dialogs.

    If a notification isn't enough and you need a full screen display, you will need a plugin to mix in native UI, such as cordova-plugin-ace. It's powerful, but a lot of work for a hybrid app.
