Windows Phone 7.5 / 8 push notifications and PhoneGap

Question

We have developed a mobile application with PhoneGap. So far, it works great with WinPhone, iOS, Android, and Firefox. Now we want to add push notifications to the application. Basically, we can choose the server server to use. Since the project is already JS-heavy (ember.js), we started with Node.js and use node-apn and node -gcm to send notifications to iOS and Android.

Is it possible to have PhoneGap application registration in MPNS? So far, it seems to me that only native C # applications can register on their server as a valid endpoint (Node.js plugin for MPNS requires this endpoint to send notifications). It seems that the Pushwoosh phonegap plugin works for a Windows phone, but only with their help. Or am I misunderstanding something?

The reason we wanted to have our own notification server was to push notifications in Firefox. None of the push services seems to support this OS.

Any thoughts on this topic are welcome, thanks in advance.

Greetings

Tom
