How to install phonegap-push-plugin 2.0.0 in monaca with cordova-android version 6.2.0

[raj wilson]

I was using phonegap-plugin-push v1.x.x which was working perfectly in monaca project with onsen-ui v1 and angularJS v1.x.x.
But when I updated the phonegap-plugin-push to v2.0.0 and migrated the google console project to Firebase Console and added the generated google-service.json file to the root folder of the monaca project the PushNotification.init({… function stopped working.

I added the snippets also in the config.xml as documented in the phonegap-plugin-push installation :

  <platform name="android">
    <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="google-services.json" />
  </platform>

I generated custom debugger but it said :
“This following plugins are not included in the debugger phonegap-plugin-push”

So I added the below code to find what went wrong while initialising the plugin :

      try
      {
          var push = PushNotification.init({
              android: {
              },
              browser: {
                  pushServiceURL: 'http://push.api.phonegap.com/v1/push'
              },
              ios: {
                  alert: "true",
                  badge: "true",
                  sound: "true"
              },
              windows: {}
          });

          push.on('registration', function(data) {
              $rootScope.REGISTER_TOKEN = data.registrationId;
              alert(Your token is : '+$rootScope.REGISTER_TOKEN);                
          });
      }
      catch(e)
      {
          alert(JSON.stringify(e));           
      }

But got an alert just saying ERROR and nothing else.

What is wrong in the installation process or code? Please help.

@raj-wilson This error is caused by the fact the plugin is failed to include in Monaca Debugger. Which version of the phonegap-plugin-push plugin are you using? The latest version (2.2.3) is currently not working with Monaca. Please use 2.1.3 version or lower.

I switched over to https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/tree/v1.x (version 1.11.1) and fallowed the installation as said in https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/v1.x/docs/INSTALLATION.md, but in vain.
nothing happened, not even var push = PushNotification.init({.... or push.on('registration'... does not respond anything.

I have tested the plugin with both config.xml patterns :
with project id :

<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="1.6.0">
    <param name="SENDER_ID" value="XXXXXXX" />
</plugin>

with fcm id :

<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="1.6.0">
    <param name="SENDER_ID" value="1:XXXXXXX:android:abcdefghijklmno" />
</plugin>

Both didn’t work.

Push Plugin Variable added :

Can you help me to make atleast this version work…

@khemry Thanks.
I have found the solution.
For Cordova 6.5.0, phonegap-plugin-push version 1.10.6 and 1.10.5 are compatible none others does.
Other versions > 1.10.6 says gradle 4 depreciated.
Hope, this solution will help someone also.
