I don’t know about Android (the cross platform issue might be why people swing towards third party solutions…), but on iOS all you need is a plugin and your own APN server.

Plugin: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iOS/PushNotification

For the server, one way might be to set it up on a free-ish service like Heroku using one of these resources:

1. https://github.com/esilverberg/Heroku-APNS
