Ionic page transition not working to page with push feature

Question

I implemented android push reception in my app, and it works well as long as the app starts at that page. But if you navigate to the inbox page where the push notifications are

Answer 1

A sample code from a working Ionic project. As an example for how PushPlugin should be initialized.

var exapp = angular.module('exapp',
                  ['ionic',
                   'ui.select2',
                   'exapp.controllers',
                   'exapp.services']);

exapp.run(function($ionicPlatform, $state, Notifications, geo) {
    $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    try{
        var pushNotification = window.plugins.pushNotification;
    } catch (ex){

    }
    var successfn = function(result){
        // window.alert("S: " + result);
    };
    var errorfn   = function(result){
        // window.alert("E: " + result);
    };
    window.onCB = function(e){
        switch (e.event){
        case 'registered':
        if (e.regid.length > 0){
            localStorage.setItem('registration_id', e.regid);
        }
        break;
        case 'message':
        if (e.foreground){
            navigator.notification.beep(1);
        }
        $state.go('app.notifications');
        break;
        }
    };
    try{
        pushNotification.register(
        successfn,
        errorfn,
        {
            "senderID": "191919191919191",
            "ecb"     : "window.onCB"
        }
        );
    } catch(e){

    }
    });
});

// States
exapp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
    $stateProvider

    .state('app', {
        url: "/app",
        abstract: true,
        templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
        controller: 'AppCtrl'
    })

    .state('app.profile', {
        url: "/profile",
        views: {
        'menuContent': {
            templateUrl: "templates/profile.html",
            controller: "ProfileCtrl"
        }
        }
    })

    .state('app.login', {
        url: "/login",
        views: {
        'menuContent' :{
            templateUrl: "templates/login.html",
            controller: 'AuthCtrl'
        }
        }
    });

    // if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
    $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/app/profile');
});
