i am using ruby to send a notification

require 'rubygems'
require 'pushmeup'

GCM.host = 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send'
GCM.format = :json
GCM.key = "key"
destination = ["id"]
data = {:title => "PhoneGap Push",:message => "PhoneGap Build rocks!",         :msgcnt => "1", :soundname => "beep.wav"}
options = {:collapse_key => "placar_score_global", :time_to_live => 3600, :delay_while_idle => false}

GCM.send_notification( destination, data, options)

When you receive the push notification you will also want to raise a local notification at that point which will appear in your status bar and notification tray. I'm a fan of the phonegap-plugin-localNotifications plugin for doing this, you can find it at https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-plugin-localNotifications. So in your phonegap-plugin-push onNotification handler for Android you would do something like this:

onNotification: function (e) {
    if (e.event == "message") {
        localNotification.add(1, {
            message: e.payload.message,
            badge: 1
        });
    }
}
