Hello,

I know its not a question directly about Ionic, but here’s my situation:  
I’m using Ionic and Cordova (NO phonegap) and I need to periodically (like twice a day, or something like that) update some data on Sqlite Database even when the app is closed. I tried to use the plugin: [https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode](https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode), but it was not enough because the app can get closed and my task wont be done.

Is there a way to do a perodic service even with the app closed? A way, like coding this service in Java (native) or something like that?

Thank you
