Hello to everyone,

i have so far successfully created my app so as to receive push notifications when detect beacons in range.

I used this [https://github.com/petermetz/cordova-plugin-ibeacon](https://github.com/petermetz/cordova-plugin-ibeacon)

In iOS i can detect beacon in foreground, in background and when the app is killed. Whereas in Android i have made it only when in foreground or in background.

My problem is that i want in Android devices to detect beacons also when the app is killed.

Is there anything i can do? I am trying to build a background service using

> **[Red-Folder/Cordova-Plugin-BackgroundService](https://github.com/Red-Folder/Cordova-Plugin-BackgroundService/tree/master/3.1.0)**
>
> Cordova-Plugin-BackgroundService - BackroundService plugin for use with Cordova (PhoneGap)

but with no luck till now.

Thank you very much in advance.
