Apparently there is an issue with the background plugin for Android 9+. I will update to the TheBosZ and do some testing.

Things now work, so closing this ticket.

Hello @alexarje @gutosantos82 the issue i have now is, the app works well on android 5.0, can even run for days. but on android 9 and android 10. it dies after few minutes(sometimes seconds)
i'm using the BosZ one.
below is my manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

my js file

onDeviceReady: function() {
    this.receivedEvent('deviceready');
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.permissionOnTop();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('activate', function () {
        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations();
        counter = 0;
        setInterval(function () {
            console.log(counter++);
            cordova.plugins.notification.badge.increase();
        }, 1000);
    });
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('deactivate', function () {
        cordova.plugins.notification.badge.clear();
    });
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.unlock();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableBatteryOptimizations();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.openBatteryOptimizationsSettings();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.overrideBackButton();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.excludeFromTaskList();
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.configure({ text: "App is running oh" });
    },

Hi @adekunle11 , I'm sorry but we are not the plugin developer. We just use the plugins.

@gutosantos82 I know. I wanted to know if you were able to get it to work

[gutosantos82]

Oh, ok. We haven't run extensive tests so far. We will run an experiment with this app this month. I let you know how it goes in terms of Android users. I have seen similar problems reported on the plugins Github page. Not sure if they were able to solve.
