+ * This plugin provides foreground and background geolocation with battery-saving "circular region monitoring" and "stop detection". For
+ * more detail, please see https://github.com/mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
+ *
+ * @usage
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * import {BackgroundGeolocation} from 'ionic-native';
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * // When device is ready :
+ * platform.ready().then(() => {
+ *
+ *     // BackgroundGeoLocation is highly configurable. See platform specific configuration options
+ *     BackgroundGeolocation.configure(
+ *         (location) => {
+ *             console.log('[js] BackgroundGeoLocation callback:  ' + location.latitude + ',' + location.longitude);
+ *             /*
+ *             IMPORTANT:  You must execute the finish method here to inform the native plugin that you're finished,
+ *             and the background-task may be completed.  You must do this regardless if your HTTP request is successful or not.
+ *             IF YOU DON'T, ios will CRASH YOUR APP for spending too much time in the background.
+ *             */
