Local notifications?

1

I want my Meteor app to send local notifications to the user. This would require the app to run in the background.

How can this be done?

I’ve got this plugin:

In my startup I have:

if (Meteor.isCordova) {
	cordova.plugins.notification.local.hasPermission(function (granted) {
		if (!granted) {
			cordova.plugins.notification.local.registerPermission(function (granted) {
			});
		}
	}); 
}

This results in the app asking, upon startup, if it can send push notifications.

Then, I have this:

Meteor.setInterval(function() {
	if (Session.get("cordovaIsRunning")) {
		getLocation();
	}

	if (Meteor.isCordova) {
		cordova.plugins.notification.local.hasPermission(function (granted) {
			if (granted) {
				var date = new Date();					

				cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
				    id: 1,
				    title: "Message Title",
				    message: "Message Text",
				    at: date,
				    icon: "/icon.png"
				});
				
			}
		});
	}

}, 5000);

This doesn’t do anything.

How to make this work?
