Callback after navigation succeeds

• Is there any way to let the app know that the user successfully navigated to specified destination? For example, i need to send a post message to my endpoint when user reaches the destination. Is this somehow supported? Either with a callback -or- even better, is it possible to execute some code in my app while google maps(or whatever maps the user chooses) is in the foreground?

Thanks in advance!

A callback is not possible: once the navigation app is launched, it is now in the foreground and would have to implement a common callback mechanism in its URL scheme, supported by all the other navigation apps, and this does not exist.

Note: There was an attempt to develop a standardized callback mechanism on iOS - the x-callback spec, but it never caught on so it's not very widely supported.

When the navigation app is launched into the foreground, you app is backgrounded. If you wish to continue code execution while your app is background, it will need to use a method of background code execution to do this (e.g. service on Android, Background Modes on iOS). These are out of the scope of this module.

Note: this has also been asked before in the context of this module's sister Cordova/Phonegap plugin: e.g. https://github.com/dpa99c/phonegap-launch-navigator/issues/127
