Example to show how I implemented the parse plugin(https://github.com/avivais/phonegap-parse-plugin) for Cordova. Out of context not very useable.

Parse.js

define(function (require) {
  'use strict';

  var cordovaPluginHelper = require('utils/cordovaPluginHelper');
  var alertHelper = require('utils/alertHelper');
  var LanguageReference = require('statics/LanguageReference');

  return function Parse (plugin, completeCallback) {

    withDeferred(initialize).always(completeCallback);

    function initialize(deferred) {
      var pushNotification = localStorage.getItem('pushNotification');
      plugin.initialize(
        pushNotification.applicationId,
        pushNotification.clientKey, 
        deferred.resolve,
        deferred.reject);
    }

    function subscribe (deferred) {
      plugin.subscribe(
        'channel-' + localStorage.getItem('clientId'), 
        deferred.resolve, 
        deferred.reject);
    }

    function withDeferred (func) {
      var deferred = $.Deferred();

      func(deferred);

      return deferred.promise()
        .fail(_.partial(alertHelper, LanguageReference.isParseProblem));
    }

    this.subscribeToPushChannel = withDeferred(subscribe);
  } 
});
