can anybody tell me what's the problem?

Answer 1

i just downgrade my cordova version to 5.0.0 and it works

Answer 2

Without downgrading your cordova version you could try this
ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-push-notification

Answer 3

I had a similar question:

From an official blog post, Cordova is moving their plugins to npm.

I had the same problem with the ionic plugin add ... command that Mudasser mentioned. So, I installed it easily now with npm:

npm install phonegap-plugin-push
