Issue with phonegap/cordova android websocket plugin - onmessage is not called

I am using this plugin: https://github.com/mkuklis/phonegap-websocket/*.

Unfortunately, onmessage is not called when we receive a message.

var ws = new WebSocket("ws://" + window.location.host + "" + "/my/socket");

ws.onopen = function() {
   console.log("wsStatus Connected to WebSocket server!"); 
};

ws.onmessage = function(e) {
    alert(e.data);
};

This is never called - which is bizarre because onopen is called. Is there anything specific I need to do/check - add a listener? I looked in the example code for the plugin and see the event ping is used rather than onmessage.

* having tried most of the options here: Phonegap websocket plugin with android version >4.0.3 not working and finding this is the only one which appears to work.

since websocket doesnt support android<4.2, the above code fails.. you should try cross browser socket supported with fallback mode included, socket.io
