Vibration does not work when app is not active on Android 8 #71

On Android 7, it was possible to send vibration from the app that was not active. This is not possible anymore on Android 8. Could this be fixed?

The plugin removed all android native code because it was possible to do it with browser APIs, but then a new Chrome version was released that don't allow to vibrate if there is no user interaction. A similar issue was created on JIRA and the decision was to do nothing about it. So you'll have to create your own plugin that does native vibration
