Keep callback success open. To be callable from doWork()

[francoisr]

As you suggested to me elsewhere (http://red-folder.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/phonegap-service-tutorial-part-3.html, comments), I think the ability to call back the success function from doWork could be beneficial to integrate the service. The need for a set interval in the cordova app would be eliminated. This would be in line with the pattern used elsewhere, cf http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7751522/android-phonegap-notify-javascript-when-an-asynctask-is-finished.

I'm not clear on the impact of the client app being killed by Android as it goes out of focus a new instance of the client connecting again.

Notes for development;

Would plan to create registerForUpdates and deregisterForUpdates JS methods.

The registerForUpdates would accept a JS callback to be used off the back of the doWork listener. Some conversation on keeping the callback open here -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7751522/android-phonegap-notify-javascript-when-an-asynctask-is-finished

I assume I should be able to call success multiple times as long as I keep the pluginResult.setKeepCallback true

Will need to test it

Update:

Code drafted. Interface added for Cordova 3.1 - need to added to test spec.

Will need to validate if approach will work for previous Cordova versions before release

[Red-Folder]

Committed code for Cordova 3.1.0 version - Commit 0e3a990

Will update & upload version by version over the next few days. Note sure at this stage if I'll be able to support all versions.

[Red-Folder]

Quick update; version 2.2.0 through to 3.0.0 have been built and tested. I'll probably be able to update to the repo tonight.

[Red-Folder]

All versions now uploaded (commit ac9f989)
