Considering Ionic's ability to cache view elements and scope data mentioned above, this might be another way of doing, if you want to run the controller every time the view gets loaded. You can globally disable the caching mechanism used by ionic by doing:

$ionicConfigProvider.views.maxCache(0);

Else, the way I had it working for me was doing

$scope.$on("$ionicView.afterLeave", function () {
     $ionicHistory.clearCache();
}); 

This is to clear the cache before leaving the view to re-run controller every time you enter back again.
