Only adding <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" /> works for me.

Not sure if you guys found a solution for tracking in the background. I had the same issue and think I have resolved by installing background mode plugin https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/background-mode

And then in my code I have added:

this.backgroundMode.enable()

this.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations(); 

I also needed to add the following permission (or the app crashed each time I left the app). I added directly into my AndroidManifest.xml file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
