I am using ionic to develop an application and I need to get the device token for push notifications, but having trouble. The application isn't receiving notifications, but I still need to send device token when user login into the application (e.g. I need to get device token without receiving notifications). I tried using the Cordova push notification plugin also.

I've used phonegap-plugin-push plugin and its pretty easy and simple. For regID in the code on deviceReady event I've used.

var push = PushNotification.init({
        "android": {
            "senderID": "SENDER-ID"
        },
        "ios": {"alert": "true", "badge": "true", "sound": "true"}, 
        "windows": {} 
    });

    push.on('registration', function(data) {
        console.log("registration event");
        //here is your registration id
        console.log(data.registrationId);
    });

This is the link of the tutorial too

Hope it helps.

Its nothing.. Just replace it with your sender id.
every time it returns different value i think device token is unique for device am i right
not working on with ionic v3 error: Property 'on' does not exist on type 'Push'.ts(2339
@SayedMohdAli This is for Ionic v1 only. as it is ngcordova.

Here is the ng-Cordova document which is for getting current device token id.

copy and past it in your project controller.

In the given below line you can find notification parameter

$rootScope.$on('$cordovaPush:notificationReceived', function(event, notification) 

The notification is an object and it will have an regid field which provides you the current mobile device id you can make use of that like (posting to server, view in console.log(notification);)

To send the device token to you server you need just do

var loginPost = {
                    "UserName":"Mike",
                    "PassWord":"xxxxxx",
                    "DeviceID":notification.regid
                  };

Using this loginPost variable object post to the server.

what is "senderID": "replace_with_sender_id"
@monoj rejinthala that is your project number which you have created in google cloud should be your senderId
if i want just device token should i need to clone the google cloud and follow the remaining steps or just register the app
to send a push notification ofcourse you need device token but it is not manditory to clone with GCM but you should clone project number and your server key to your current project.
i don't have any notification yet just i need to send device token when user login into the application that sit.i need to get device token with out any notification.
