Phonegap push notification sort of (fire event from remote)

Question

I'm looking for a way to trigger a phonegap app to do something by sending a notification from server. I am okay if it sends an actual notification but I also want it to fire some kind of event that my app can listen to - in my case I need the app to a) receive a notice of new messages and automatically reload the messages from server - or at least set a flag to reload once the user relaunches app.

Thanks
