This is actually really important to WebViews that are Chromium-Based, and there are numerous bugs that relate to this.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android

> Couple of issues:
> 1. pauseTimers(), although an instance method, actually applies to all webviews
> 2. pauseTimers() is always being called during startActivityForResult(), even though there's no reason to do this.
> Proposed changes:
> - Pause timers during a startActivityForResult only when KeepRunning preference is false (this should happen anyways, since the activity's onPause is fired in this case)
> - 4.0.x branch: Create a setGloballyPauseTimers(boolean) on CordovaWebview interface in 4.0.x that is documented to have the same semantics as WebView.pause/resume timers. 
> - 4.0.x branch: Move the pausing & resuming into CordovaActivity, rather than passing it as a boolean to the onPause() function
