Ok, I finally made a plugin that seems to work

1 - Make sure your PhoneGap Xcode project has been updated for the iOS 4 SDK.

2 - Create a PushToken folder in your Plugins folder add the following PushToken.m and PushToken.h files to it and then drag the folder to the Plugin folder in XCode, using "Create groups for any added folders"

3 - Add the PushToken.js files to your www folder on disk, and add reference(s) to the .js files as tags in your html file(s)

4 - Add new entry with key PushToken and string value PushToken to Plugins in PhoneGap.plist

PushToken.h

#import 
#import 

@interface PushToken : PGPlugin{

    NSString* callbackID;  
}

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString* callbackID;

- (void) getToken:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;

@end

PushToken.m

#import "PushToken.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"

@implementation PushToken

@synthesize callbackID;

-(void)getToken:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options  {
    self.callbackID = [arguments pop];

    NSString *token = ((AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).token;
    PluginResult* pluginResult = [PluginResult resultWithStatus:PGCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:[token stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    if(token.length != 0)
    {
        [self writeJavascript: [pluginResult toSuccessCallbackString:self.callbackID]];
    }else {    
        [self writeJavascript: [pluginResult toErrorCallbackString:self.callbackID]];
    }
}

@end

PushToken.js

var PushToken = {
    getToken: function(types, success, fail) {
        return PhoneGap.exec(success, fail, "PushToken", "getToken", types);
    }
};

How to use

PushToken.getToken(     
    ["getToken"] ,           
    function(token) {
        console.log("Token : "+token); 
    },
    function(error) {
        console.log("Error : \r\n"+error);      
    }
);

AppDelegate.h

@interface AppDelegate : PhoneGapDelegate {
    NSString* invokeString;
    NSString* token;
}

@property (copy)  NSString* invokeString;
@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString* token;

AppDelegate.m

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
{
    self.token = [[[[deviceToken description]
                         stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"<" withString: @""]
                        stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @">" withString: @""]
                       stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @" " withString: @""];

    NSLog(@"My token is: %@", self.token);
}

I made it work on PhoneGap 1.1

Hope this helps
