Push Notification Custom Payload

Wondering if anyone has looked into this and weather it's possible with the Generic Push Plugin.... What I am wanting to do is push some additional data/code to the devices so I can do things like take users to specific pages or execute arbitrary code based upon the push message. A typical APNS payload would look something like this...

{"aps":{"alert":"The Arizona Rattlers are Live On Cox7 Arizona.","sound":"beep.wav"}}

But after reading the APNS protocol should support additional JSON data like my 'page' key below...

{"aps":{"alert":"The Arizona Rattlers are Live On Cox7 Arizona.","sound":"beep.wav","page":"live"}}

for testing I tried pulling the 'page' data out of the message using this code....

function onNotificationAPN(event) {
if (event.alert) {
//alert('push-notification: ' + event.alert + '');
navigator.notification.alert(event.alert);
}
if (event.sound) {
var snd = new Media(event.sound);
snd.play();
}
if (event.badge) {
pushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(successHandler, event.badge);
}
if (event.page) {
navigator.notification.alert(event.page);
}
}

But I don't see the alert with the custom payload.

Has anyone looked into this? Thanks as always...
