Getting message on background, but 'notification' is not called

[yossale]

(phonegap-plugin-push 1.4.3, cordova android 5.0.0)

I'm sending a background notification, and following the logs, it arrives (see below), but the 'notification' function is not being called in the background. Why?

push.on 'notification', (data) ->
      log("PUSH_DEBUG: notification data: #{JSON.stringify(data)}")

The message contains only an 'info' key

D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): normalize extras
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): key = info
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): replace key info with info
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): key = collapse_key
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): replace key collapse_key with collapse_key
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): background
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): message =[null]
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): title =[null]
D/PushPlugin_GCMIntentService( 6602): send notification event
V/PushPlugin( 6602): sendExtras: caching extras to send at a later time.

The 'notification' is being called when the app is running in the background, but if the app is completely closed, it doesnt

Same problem here with windows universal, 'notification' isn't called if the app is completely closed.

@yossale this is a duplicate of #158. Please go vote it up.

The root cause is when you kill the app you also kill the service that is registered to receive the push. I need to look at a way to automatically restart that service if the app is killed.
