Location not updating on server when app enters stationary when app is in background or is closed

Hello @mauron85

Environment:

• React Native version: 0.59.9
• Plugin version: 0.6.3
• Platform: Android
• OS version: 7
• Device manufacturer and model: Redmi Note 4
• Plugin configuration options:

BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
      desiredAccuracy: 10,
      stationaryRadius: 10,
      distanceFilter: 5,
      notificationTitle: 'Background Tracking',
      notificationText: 'Enabled',
      debug: true,
      startOnBoot: true,
      stopOnTerminate: false,
      locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER,
      interval: 5000,
      url: url,
      syncUrl: url,
      httpHeaders: {
        ...this.props.headers
      },
      postTemplate: {
        lat: '@latitude',
        long: '@longitude',
        id: id` // you can also add your own properties`
      }
    })

Location updates correctly when app is in foreground or when sent to background while user is moving but if app goes into stationary region while app is closed or is background location stops to update. Even if I travel distance once app goes to stationary region from background or terminate state it does not exit stationary region and stops updating location on server.

Hi, I’m getting the same problem. It seems like battery saver in android phones causing this. My phone is mi 10 lite and i followed this https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi and now it is working fine. But how to prevent battery saver in react native to prevent this from happening?
