Automated testing of a cordova app that uses the push-plugin

I've written an app in Cordova for android and iOS that uses the push-plugin as an essential part. Now I'm requested to do some automated acceptance tests (the parameters are somewhat vague). Ideally I should test the app on different older versions of the os, with and without a connection, and I would have to see if the app reacts within a short timespan after a request was sent to the api, but even a simple test would already be useful. My main problem is that the push-plugin does only work on the device, not on the emulator.

Which tools could I use for this tests?
