Channels API relies on custom javascript that is downloaded from AppEngine when browser opens the page: see javascript docs.

This custom JS code can potentially change when GAE version changes, so you can not embed it into your PhoneGap application. Also it possibly relies on browser-specific features, which is hard to check because it's a closed piece of code and it's internals are not explained.

If you need async notification, I'd suggest you use native push technologies available on PhoneGap.

Read the Channel API documentation. It's all there.

You probably want to add an API to generate a new token in case your connection times out. You also need to handle reconnection from the client in case you get disconnected (ie a socketerror event)
