Trying to get a custom push with Urban Airship and phonegap to redirect view

Question

I'm trying to get a custom push with Urban Airship and phonegap to redirect view. Basically I want to send a custom data push that would look like:

"aps": {"alert": "Hello!", "extra":{"targetURL":"www.google.com"}}

and for the app's view to be redirected to the targetURL.

Right now my notification handler is:

-(void)handleNotification:(NSDictionary *)notification withCustomPayload:(NSDictionary *)customData{

UALOG(@"Received an alert with a custom payload");

NSString *URL = [customData objectForKey:@"targetURL"];

//UIWebView *view = [PhoneGapDelegate 
AppDelegate *mainDelegate = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];


[mainDelegate redirectTo:URL];

}

the redirect function looks like the following and is in the AppDelegate:

- (void) redirectTo:(NSString *){
URL{NSLog(@"In redirect in cocoa");
[[self webView] stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"goTo('%@');", URL]];
}

This code does call the javascript function i use to redraw the view but i cannot get it to redraw once i send the notification. Any help in making the view redraw will be helpful either doing it this way or another more effective way would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is your problem but I just found out how to send the custom notification payload and it's of this form:

"aps": {"alert": "Hello!"}, "targetURL":"www.google.com"

Then your code should hit your handler and thus call your redirect function.
