lknop commented on issue #192: Splash Screen show() and hide() not working on platform pause and resume

   @janpio I am pretty sure the @vforvasquez has the following scenario in mind:
   
   - the user wants to switch to another app with the "overview" button 
   (yes, that's its name, I had to google it - https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/32697/what-is-the-offical-name-of-the-third-on-screen-button but it's also called "recent" or "tasks")
   - the OS shows the list of currently open apps, including the screenshot of "our" app
   - the idea is to show the splash screen instead of a true screenshot to avoid leaking sensitive information
   - using `splashscreen.show()` in `onPause()` does not work because the event handler is run on application resume - most likely due to thread switching 
   
   Another thread about the very same scenario is [here](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/solved-show-splashscreen-on-pause-cordova-event/26488).
   
   It mentions an outdated plugin that achieves the result by disabling screenshots altogether which is not an optimal solution.
   
   This is not the issue within the splashscreen plugin per se, but it's closely related and if the plugin would allow to achieve this as an option without cumbersome hacks then it would be an extremely useful feature.  It seems the most complicated logic is in selecting the proper image to show (depending on resolution, orientation etc.) which the splashscreen plugin already handles very well, so any external plugin just for the `onPause` screenshot would have to duplicate it -which sounds unreasonable.
