Description

The App is currently using the

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application openURL:(NSURL*)url sourceApplication:(NSString*)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation

to handle incoming URLs.

However the notification posted with id CDVPluginHandleOpenURLNotification contains only the url.

I would like to add alongside the current notification a new notification which posts a NSDictionary instead that contains the url, sourceApplication and annotation and if makes sense I would also like create a new method like the current handleOpenURL which will provide the NSDictionary to however wants to use.

I propose this solution because it does not introduce any breaking changes. I hope the impact is small and easy to add to the next release. The work is already done in my local fork I will just need to create a branch and ask for a pull request if everyone is happy to proceed.
