[ivinantony]

Describe the bug i was testing the plugin and it works well in ios and in some android. i was testing in google pixel 5 and after 5 minutes there is no response from the plugin when app in background and the screen is locked. i tested multiple devices [samsung m13 and pixel 5] both have the same issue.When we unlock the device and open the app, all the locations that were not updated coming in the console too.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: open the app in google pixel r real or Samsung m13 device-> activate background geolocation-> put the app to background -> lock the screen.

Can you replace the handleOnPause method in BackgroundGeolocation.java with the following, and see if that solves the problem?

@Override
protected void handleOnPause() {
    if (service != null) {
        service.onActivityStopped();
        new Thread(() -> {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                this.bridge.getWebView().dispatchWindowVisibilityChanged(View.VISIBLE);
            } catch (Exception ignore) {}
        }).start();
    }
    stoppedWithoutPermissions = !hasRequiredPermissions();
    super.handleOnPause();
}
