You can do it using the native Background Geolocation plugin. It allows you to see watch the position even when app is closed, and then call your http post for upload your data to your database.

For that, is necessary to add the param  
`{stopOnTerminate: false}`  
It means the Geolocation will be continuing working even when app is closed.
