I am trying to install background Mode in ionic.

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-background-mode
npm install --save @ionic-native/background-mode@4

Below is error

getting below warning ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-background-mode $ npm install --save @ionic-native/background-mode@4

and when I use in Home.ts file it says as

pluginWarn @ vendor.js:52024 vendor.js:52018 Native: tried calling BackgroundMode.un, but the BackgroundMode plugin is not installed. pluginWarn @ vendor.js:52018 vendor.js:52024 Install the BackgroundMode plugin: 'ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-background-mode' pluginWarn @ vendor.js:52024 vendor.js:1639 ERROR plugin_not_installed

I found solution. Check your cordova version

cordova -v

Now cordova version is 9.0.0 then problem will be there. Referece: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/backgroundmode-not-installing-cordova-9/160226/4 Now globally uninstall cordova by following command

where cordova // windows users
which cordova //mac users

It will give full path of cordova Now, npm uninstall -g cordova It will remove cordova globally Now install specific version of cordova here, npm install -g cordova@8.0.0 It will install cordova version 8.0.0 and you can now able to install BackgroundMode plugin. Thank you and enjoy

Reverting from Cordova 9.0 back to Cordova 8.0 fixed the issue with background-mode plugin not installed. 

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova@8.0.0

Remove the plugin and platform folders and re-build.

cordova platform add android
cordova build android

or with Ionic

ionic cordova platform add android
ionic cordova build android
