Parse push notification with ionic - angularjs

Question

I am trying to set up a push notification with parse to handle received notifications.
I used phonegap-parse-plugin plugin and was able to set it up correctly.
My problem with it is that I cannot handle the received notifications. I would like to redirect a user to a the page for the notification based on the notification json params.
So, I decided to switch to parse-push-plugin, but my problem with it is that I cannot even get it to show the alert registered box; it cannot even find the ParsePushPlugin method.
I followed the tutorial which is simple enough and added this to my app.js file
ParsePushPlugin.register(
{ appId:"xxx", clientKey:"xxx", eventKey:"myEventKey" }, //will trigger receivePN[pnObj.myEventKey]
function() {
alert('successfully registered device!');
},
function(e) {
alert('error registering device: ' + e);
});
ParsePushPlugin.on('receivePN', function(pn){
alert('yo i got this push notification:' + JSON.stringify(pn));
});
The alert success just failed to show so I guess it is not working or I am not doing the right thing.

Use phonegap-plugin-push. It is easy to implement and use.
Config :
var push = PushNotification.init({
"android": {
"senderID": "Your-sender-ID",
"forceShow": true, // To show notifications on screen as well
"iconColor": "#403782",
"badge": "true",
"clearBadge": "true" // To clear app badge
},
"ios": {
"alert": "true",
"badge": "true",
"clearBadge": "true",
"sound": "true",
"forceShow": "true"
},
"windows": {}
});
Device Registration :
push.on('registration', function(data) {
localStorage.setItem('pushToken', data.registrationId); // Save registration ID
});
Handle Notifications
push.on('notification', function(data) {
console.log(data);
// Handle all requests here
if (data.additionalData.$state == "mystate") {
$state.go('app.conversations');
}
})
