I m trying to implement push notifications for my ionic app first in android using cordova push.  
The push is working, I can show it in an alert, however i m not show it in the navigation drawer when the app is running in the background?

Is it something we need to handle manually?

Thanks

i think android does not provide something like the “push-indicator” or “badge” like ios does
