Hello Nuno,

Do you mean push notifications? There's a few components to achieve this like Pushwoosh or OneSignal. If you all you need are simpler in-app notifications, this component would also fit.

Can you share some background on what you're trying to build? This will help everyone give you more detailed answers.

Hi Nuno, 

If you have to send a notification depending on some condition, you should consider to place this logic in your server side.

For example, you can set a timer to run periodically and then send a notification depending on whatever you want.

Anyway if you want to try implement some asynch Client Actions you can try to take a look at this documentation.
It will explain how to run client actions without the need to wait for it response, but afaik you will not be able to run it in background when the app is closed or in second plane for example.

If you need that you can try to use this other plugin to prevent the app from sleeping, if this don't suit your needs I'm afraid you need to write some custom cordova code on a plugin to to what you want.

Hi Nuno,

You can try using BPTs or background timers to execute the logic. Also for push notification there are many components like Firebase which uses Google APIs.

BPT will help you in this situation as when the condition met you can launch the process to execute the notification process and it will execute in background.
