I am working on a chat application using phonegap for android, which is already running over web. I am sending messages through pushnotification and everything is working fine and notification is coming in status bar with default device sound setting. Now I want to sync some data from server without notifying user, means I need a notification that should just tell me that there is some new data on server to sync, without having status bar notification. I searched over web but couldn't found anything which can help me.

Any help would be great..

Thanks Jaya

    Develop a background service, not push notification. – mentat Dec 05 '14 at 08:46

    I am trying background services for updating new data on server...Thanks :) I found that while application is open notifications don't come in status bar, is there anyway to forcefully send them as status bar notification? – Jaya Vishwakarma Dec 07 '14 at 20:16

You could modify the plugin to not create a notification if a certain variable is set.

If you are using PushPlugin:

A notification is created only if you send message in the payload. But you will receive the payload in your application's callback. You can use this effectively to communicate with your application with having to implement anything additional.
