I doubt a change to this plugin will fix the problem. But if you find a solution, please let me know.

Why this plugin don't work with no data mobile? do you have an idea?

The only thing I can think of is that the FusedLocationProviderApi, which we rely on, uses Google Location Services and they somehow require mobile data. But there is nothing in the plugin that directly uses mobile data.
