Can you add/integrate the LocalNotification plugin?

I'm sure most of your users need this plugin. I was using an earlier one that I downloaded from Git but it doesn't work any more and the one by Katzer seems totally incompatible with the previous one.

Would it be possible for you to "pre-integrate" this plugin? I understand not wanting to get into the plugin business, since there are so many and everyone has different requirements, but LocalNotification is something almost every app needs so was hoping you would treat this a little differently. Would make life so much easier for everyone.

Hello Slang,

We'll forward your request to our development team, could you please clarify why this plugin doesn't work for you anymore and what does this plugin do?

The LocalNotification plugin presents users with notifications about events within the app. These are "local" notifications, not push notifications. They are most heavily used for time based notifications such as calendars, to-do lists, alarm clocks. Also any app doing background tasks will most likely need Local Notifications to let the user know about the status of the background activity.

Any changes to Cordova or the underlying Android/iOS libraries tends to break plugins, and if the original developer loses interest or does not update the plugin on time, anyone using that code is left with either having to fix the code themselves, or find another plugin and code against that instead.
