   Hello,
   
   The #74 does not solve the network change trigger when the app is idle (or in the background) for android.
   So, it does not solve this issue.
   
   The Pull Request solves that the networkinfo is not reliable when the app is in the foreground. 
   Tries to solve [issue-64](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-network-information/issues/64)
   The plugin uses (before the PR and after the PR) the android BroadcastReceiver. 
   
   Android can stop the listeners on the BroadcastReceivers to save battery power when the app becomes idle.
   To solve this the android - plugin should be rewritten and use the JobScheduler API (min-SDK Lollipop). (see: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/job/JobScheduler.html  and https://medium.com/@iiro.krankka/its-time-to-kiss-goodbye-to-your-implicit-broadcastreceivers-eefafd9f4f8a)
   But that should be another pull request.
   
   Kind regards,
   PIV
