Answer 1

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 [email protected] It will install cordova version 8.0.0 and you can now able to install BackgroundMode plugin. Thank you and enjoy

Answer 2

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 [email protected]

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
