Phonegap adding items to the notification tray

I am just learning PhoneGap and I would like to push notifications to the notification tray on开发者_JS百科 a timer.

I tried the notification function in the PhoneGap API but its only for messages boxes with in the application its self.

Any ideas how to send a push notifications to the "Notification tray" android system?

UPDATE: I have not worked with Phonegap for a very long time, and this repo is no longer managed.

Here is a phonegap plugin that I have written for system notifications.

Official phonegap plugin contains the status bar notification. You can find how to set it up here:

You can look at all the supported plugins at the Cordova Plugin Registry
