## What it is
A Cordova/PhoneGap plugin that registers devices and receives native push notifications on Android (FCM) and iOS (APNS) through a single unified JavaScript API. It is deprecated and users are directed to the cordova-plugin-push fork.

## Use cases
- receive push notifications in a cordova app
- register android device for fcm push
- handle apns notifications on ios from javascript
- unified push notification api for hybrid mobile apps
- show notification payloads in phonegap app

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Cordova/PhoneGap app already using this plugin
- you need push notifications in a hybrid mobile app and will migrate to the maintained fork

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use cordova-plugin-push instead
- building native Android or iOS apps without Cordova
- you need actively maintained software with support
