I too had the same issue. Just got it solved.

I would advise you not to follow the Ionic Documentation.

Use the following code in CLI to install the plugin.

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode.git

Then in your ionViewDidLoad() of the root of your app, you can write the following code:

ionViewDidLoad(){
    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();//Line 1
    console.log("BackgroundMode is Enabled!");//Line 2
    console.log(cordova.plugins.backgroundMode);//Line 3
}

Before this, you should declare cordova by following code after all your imports.

declare let cordova:any;

This one should help :)
