How do I navigate to a detail view (from Push notification on Titanium / Android)

I have a list view and a detail view. My list view is populated by the following code...

for (var i = 0, l = e.results.length; i < l; i++) {
                    var result = e.results[i];
                    var row = Alloy.createController('appRow', result).getView();
 
                    data.push(row);
                }
 
            $.tbl.setData(data);

$.tbl.addEventListener('click', function (evt) {
    showDetail(evt);
});

//Invoked by task record click
function showDetail(event){
    Alloy.createController('appRowDetail', event.row).getView().open({modal:true, fullscreen: true});
 
};

My app also receives and displays push notifications from the server whenever a given row is updated. Currently, when a user clicks the push notification, I can trap the event (logging to the console for now).

We need to be able to navigate the user to the detail view when they click the notification for a given record update. How do I accomplish that?

I am sending in the detail record id (and can send other data elements or some sort of a URI), but since my detail record view is expecting a fully formed object, I am not sure how to make this happen.

I would appreciate any insight / guidance that the community can offer me. I have been searching around and have not found anything relevant so far. Thanks.
