It turned out, at least in my case, that deviceready function for the logger was not getting called. The final line in logger.js.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", logger.__onDeviceReady, false);

The solution (or really a work-around) is to call the logger.__onDeviceReady function from your deviceready listener function:

function onDeviceReady() {
    if (window.cordova.logger) {
        window.cordova.logger.__onDeviceReady();
    }
}

document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);

Add the console plugin as in the Sam's answer and ensure to include cordova.js on every page otherwise no plugin works.

When using phonegap plugins I was adding phonegap.js in script tag then I noticed that plugins (any) works on index.html page only. When I changed phonegap.js to cordova.js, plugins(notification, camera etc) started working on rest of the pages. If this helps anyone.
