"plugins is not defined" in PhoneGap Application

I am currently trying to use the PhoneGap LocalNotification Plugin, using Android 4.1 together with Cordova 2.0.0 and Sketcha (UI Library).

UPDATE #2 20/9/12: I've used Bozzzi's code with some fixes:

  1. Added }) to the end of localnotification.js (syntax error).
  2. changed cordova.define("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification", function(require, exports, module) to: cordova.define("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification", function(require, exports, module), so the modules name will match for this function (before the module wasn't found):

    window.plugins.LocalNotification = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification");

  3. change from this:

    if (!window.plugins) { window.plugins = {}; } else if (!window.plugins.LocalNotification) { window.plugins.LocalNotification = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification"); }

to this:

if (!window.plugins) {
    window.plugins = {};
}

if (!window.plugins.LocalNotification) {
    window.plugins.LocalNotification = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification");
}

before this change, if window.plugins is not found, it will be created but the window.plugins.LocalNotification wouldn't.

After all these fixes I am getting this error:

For some reason the cordova.require("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification") dont set the window.plugins.LocalNotification value and it keeps being undefined. Here is my updated index.html (Update #2):

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html manifest="" lang="en-US">

    function onDeviceReady() {
        if (!window.plugins) {
            window.plugins = {};
        } else if (!window.plugins.LocalNotification) {
            window.plugins.LocalNotification = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification");
        }
    }

    window.document.addEventListener("deviceready", appReady, false);

    function appReady() {
        console.log("PAPA AMERICANO ready");

        var d = new Date();
        d = d.getTime() + 2 * 1000; //60 seconds from now
        d = new Date(d);

        if (!window.plugins) {
            window.plugins = {};
        }

        if (!window.plugins.LocalNotification) {
            window.plugins.LocalNotification = cordova.require("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification");
        }

        window.plugins.localNotification.add({
            date: d,
            message: 'This is an Android alarm using the statusbar',
            id: 123
        });
    }

    </script>
    <style type="text/css">

        html, body {

Here is my localnotificaiton.js after my fixes (Update #2):

cordova.define("cordova/plugin/LocalNotification", function(require, exports, module) {      

var exec = require("cordova/exec");
var LocalNotification = function () {};

LocalNotification.prototype.add = function(options) {
            var defaults = {
                date : new Date(),
                message : '',
                ticker : '',
                repeatDaily : false,
                id : ""
            };
        if (options.date) {
                options.date = (options.date.getMonth()) + "/" + (options.date.getDate()) + "/"
                        + (options.date.getFullYear()) + "/" + (options.date.getHours()) + "/"
                        + (options.date.getMinutes());
            }

            for ( var key in defaults) {
                if (typeof options[key] !== "undefined")
                    defaults[key] = options[key];
            }

            cordova.exec(null, null, "LocalNotification", "add",  new Array(defaults));
};

LocalNotification.prototype.cancel = function(notificationId) {
    cordova.exec(null, null, 'LocalNotification', 'cancel', new Array({
        id : notificationId
    }));
};

LocalNotification.prototype.cancelAll = function() {
    cordova.exec(null, null, 'LocalNotification', 'cancelAll', new Array());
};


var LocalNotification = new LocalNotification();
module.exports = LocalNotification
});

UPDATE #1: I've already added the plugin to the plugins.xml file:

<plugins>
...
  <plugin name="LocalNotification" value="com.phonegap.plugin.localnotification.LocalNotification"/>
...
</plugins>

I've done the steps mentioned here and replaced the broken java expressions as mentioned here.

Unfortunately, when I run the application I get the following error (Both in emulator and device):

09-16 16:46:16.330: E/Web Console(27875): Uncaught ReferenceError: plugins is not defined at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:74

This guy was facing the same problem but I've referenced the cordova javascript file in my index.html and its still not working.

This is how my package explorer looks like (You might find something missing): I am not sure if I should have plugins.xml or have config.xml and have the plugins in it, I have both just in case

Package Explorer

Thanks in advance!

I changed LocalNotification.js so you can copy code. It works with cordova 2.0 (tested!)

cordova.define("cordova/plugin/js/LocalNotification", function(require, exports, module) {      

var exec = require("cordova/exec");
var LocalNotification = function () {};

LocalNotification.prototype.add = function(options) {
            var defaults = {
                date : new Date(),
                message : '',
                ticker : '',
                repeatDaily : false,
                id : ""
            };
        if (options.date) {
                options.date = (options.date.getMonth()) + "/" + (options.date.getDate()) + "/"
                        + (options.date.getFullYear()) + "/" + (options.date.getHours()) + "/"
                        + (options.date.getMinutes());
            }

            for ( var key in defaults) {
                if (typeof options[key] !== "undefined")
                    defaults[key] = options[key];
            }

            cordova.exec(null, null, "LocalNotification", "add",  new Array(defaults));
};

LocalNotification.prototype.cancel = function(notificationId) {
    cordova.exec(null, null, 'LocalNotification', 'cancel', new Array({
        id : notificationId
    }));
};

LocalNotification.prototype.cancelAll = function() {
    cordova.exec(null, null, 'LocalNotification', 'cancelAll', new Array());
};


var LocalNotification = new LocalNotification();
module.exports = LocalNotification;

});

now you can call the notif. with:

    datum = '2012-09-20 15:51:00';  
tt1 = datum.split(/[- :]/);
    dd = new Date(tt1[0], tt1[1]-1, tt1[2], tt1[3], tt1[4], tt1[5]);

window.plugins.LocalNotification.add({ date: dd, message: "Some message", ticker : "Some ticker", repeatDaily : false, id: 1234 });

The plugin's .js has not been updated to the 2.0.0 specification. Take a look at one of my more recent blog posts on how to write a plugin that conforms to the 2.0.0 spec.
