neither setDefaults or configure apis are working any way possible

[gzbakku]

neither of the given api's are changing the notification text title or color

i implemented the plugin like this

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.configure({
  title: 'live on aaa',
  text:'close the app if you want to go offline on your aaa account.',
  color: 'ff0829',
  resume: true
});

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({
  title: 'live on aaa',
  text:'close the app if you want to go offline on your aaa account.',
  color: 'ff0829',
  resume: true
});
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();

please guide us how to use it you are great

I am facing the same issue on Android 9.1. I have tried both setDefaults() and configure() before and after backgroundMode.enable() or backgroundMode.on('activate').subscribe() but no luck unfortunately

Same issue if I create my project wich 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)

I was having the same issue, it appears that if a notification does not have a valid icon it ignores all of the defaults and doesn't work.

@gzbakku , @RobertY9 I confirm that I also solved the issue in the same way. The method getIconResId() in foreground service returns an error.

All settings must be valid or it will fail:

• You need an icon on Android for the notification (omit the ".png", and it must be in the folder mentioned)
• If you include a color, omit the "#"

I'm pretty sure silent mode will fail. As a user, I like knowing that an app is running in the background.

BTW, from what I can tell, this plugin is really only useful for immediately resuming a session, instead of a cold-start. That said, that was what I was looking for at this point. It would be nice if I could do more things in the background, but such is the world of cordova open-source...
