Hi, I have the same problem, too.

I tried the plugin cordova-plugin-background-mode, but it doesn’t work.
When I press the home button, the plugin works precisely, the onactive function called.
When I press the back button, the plugin works wrongly, the onactive function called and the ondeactive function called immediately.

Expecting for help. Think you.

I just created a plugin called “AppMinimize” for cordova (only for Android devices) that does what you want. I hope it helps you.

Installation:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/tomloprod/cordova-plugin-appminimize.git

Usage:

window.plugins.appMinimize.minimize();

Example: Minimize app by pressing back button:

$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    window.plugins.appMinimize.minimize();
}, 100);

Hi! I installed your plugin but it doesn’t work:
It’s my code in app.js and i tested it on android device:

.run(function($ionicPlatform, $ionicPopup, $state) {
  $ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (event) {
    if($state.current.name=="menu.dashboard"){
      alert('it is dashboard');//it works
      window.plugins.appMinimize.minimize();
    }
    else {
      navigator.app.backHistory();
    }
  }, 100);
})

Do you have any solution?

Hi,

What is your device? Can you check your plugin list to make sure that its installed?

 cordova plugin ls

You can try with:

 cordova plugin save

If still with problems, please open an “issue” in github

Your plugin in the list of cordova’s plugins.
And i ran
cordova plugin save
And compiled and installed my app again.
But it doesn’t work again

My device has android 5.1

Besides your installation does’t work, i installed plugin manually.
Maybe it is a problem and i heed help with installation

I used in production in many devices and works well… and I don’t understand why the installation doesn’t work for you.

I’ts pretty simple:

 cordova plugin add https://github.com/tomloprod/cordova-plugin-appminimize.git

And use the plugin… What is the error you get?
