Thanks for the update - does that mean that you are no longer going to post items into the calendar on the phone, or did you just use the same technique as the toast plugin and adapt the use?
I would still love to post items into the calendar, or at least mark the app icon with the symbol to say that there are new messages for the user as I see described further down the article.
The app is intended to be used by our college students, to it would be great to remind them that there are exam, interview, event dates etc directly on their phone. If that could happen somehow in the background it would be great, as we probably can't rely on students opening the app or visiting a website to see new information without them being prompted to do so.
I will try again when I have a few hours spare.
Thanks again,
Dave
