+     * To do this:
+     * 1. Within plugin.xml (to have your JS run before deviceready):
+     *    <js-module><runs/></js-module>
+     * 2. Within your .js (call exec on start-up):
+     *    require('cordova/channel').onCordovaReady.subscribe(function() {
+     *      require('cordova/exec')(win, null, 'Plugin', 'method', []);

+     *        ... process message from java here ...
+     *      }
+     *    });
+     * 3. Within your .java:
+     *    PluginResult dataResult = new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, CODE);
+     *    dataResult.setKeepCallback(true);
+     *    savedCallbackContext.sendPluginResult(dataResult);
