Android app crashes due to NullPointerException on android.support.v4.content.FileProvider.parsePathStrategy

Your Environment

Plugin version: 0.9.2
Platform: Android
OS version: Android 7.0 - 9.0
Device manufacturer / model: Pixel 2 XL, various.

Ionic Version (if using Ionic): v3.

Expected Behavior

Plugin should not conflict with other installed plugins.

Actual Behavior

This intermittent crash appears to be caused by this plugin conflicting with the Cordova Camera plugin provider, see this excerpt from the AndroidManifest.xml file of my project:

<provider android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="org.apache.cordova.camera.FileProvider">
            <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/camera_provider_paths" />
        </provider>
<provider android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.notification.util.AssetProvider">
            <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/localnotification_provider_paths" />
        </provider>

As you can see both have android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" which I believe is causing the problem.

Please see this issue on the original repo and this SO post for more details.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a project that uses both this plugin and the Camera plugin.

Context

Use both the camera and this plugin in the same project built for Android.
