Will Phonegap or Cordova apps receive push notifications when app not opened?

Question

I have serious doubt. If Phonegap(or Cordova) apps won't run in background how can I get the GCM/FCM push notifications when my app is not in use or not opened ?

Is there any way to solve this problem ?

What is Chrome push notifications, can I use that with Phonegap apps ?

Answer 1

Using Cordova plugin FCM, your push notifications will work when app is open or closed. Both on Android and iOS.

Your app does not need to be running in the background to receive push notifications.
