I think the problem is that you are using the deprecated version of the plugin. Instead of

cordova plugin add com.phonegap.plugins.pushplugin

Use

cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push

And base your code in this documentation:

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push

I left you some code that works:

        var PushNotificationManager = {

        GOOGLE_SENDER_ID: Config.notifications.SENDER_ID,

        push: null,

        registerDeviceAndroid: function () {

            var that = this,
                deferredValue = $.Deferred();

            that.push = PushNotification.init({ 
                    "android": {
                        "senderID": that.GOOGLE_SENDER_ID,
                        "iconColor": "gray",
                        "icon": "icon_notification",
                        "forceShow": true
                    },
                    "ios": {}, 
                    "windows": {} 
            });

            that.push.on('registration',

                function (deviceToken) {

                    log("[PushNotificationManager] Token: " + deviceToken.registrationId, Config.notifications.message.info);

                    that.manageNotifications();

                    deferredValue.resolve(deviceToken.registrationId);

                },
                function () {
                    deferredValue.reject('[PushNotificationManager] Error al registrar el notificador.');
                }, {
                    senderID: this.GOOGLE_SENDER_ID,
                    ecb: 'window.onAndroidNotification'
            });

            setTimeout(function () {

                if (deferredValue.state() === 'pending') {
                    deferredValue.reject('[PushNotificationManager] No se obtuvo respuesta del servidor.');
                }
            }, 10000);

            return deferredValue.promise();
        },

        registerDeviceIOS: function () {

            var that = this,
                deferredValue = $.Deferred();

            that.push = PushNotification.init({ 
                    "android": {},
                    "ios": {
                        "alert": "true",
                        "badge": "true",
                        "clearBadge": "true",
                        "sound": "true"},
                    "windows": {} 
            });

            that.push.on('registration', function (deviceToken) {

                log("[PushNotificationManager] Token: " + deviceToken.registrationId, Config.notifications.message.info);

                that.manageNotifications();

                deferredValue.resolve(deviceToken.registrationId);

            }, function (e) {

                        deferredValue.reject('[PushNotificationManager] Error al registrar el notificador.');
                        log(e, Config.notifications.message.error);
            }, {
                        'badge': 'false',
                        'sound': 'true',
                        'alert': 'true',
                        'ecb': 'window.onIosNotification'
            });

            return deferredValue.promise();
        },

        manageNotifications: function () {

            var that = this;

            if ( !_.isNull(that.push) && !_.isUndefined(that.push) ) {

                that.push.on('notification', function (data) {
                    /*window.localStorage["cold"] = "true";
                    window.localStorage["data"] = JSON.stringify(data);*/
                    console.log(data);
                    if (data.additionalData.foreground != true){


                        if(data.additionalData.coldstart == true ) {



                        } else {


                        }
                    }

                    that.push.finish();

                    // To make visible item selection

                });

            }
        }
    };
