A Cordova plugin that schedules periodic Android background tasks using the JobScheduler.

   $ cordova plugin add --save cordova-plugin-scheduler

To schedule a job:

window.SchedulerPlugin.configure(
    fetchTask,
    errorHandler,
    { minimumFetchInterval: i }  // i in minutes
);

fetchTask should call SchedulerPlugin.finish() to release the Android wakelock.

var fetchTask = function() {
    codePush.sync(null);
    window.SchedulerPlugin.finish();
};

var errorHandler = function(error) {
    console.log('SchedulerPlugin error: ', error);
};

window.SchedulerPlugin.configure(
    fetchTask,
    errorHandler,
    { minimumFetchInterval: 60 }  // run every hour
);

• Observe the plugin logs:

$ adb logcat -s SchedulerPluginTag

• Simulate a background-fetch event on a device (only works for Android >=7.0):

$ adb shell cmd jobscheduler run -f <your.application.id> 999

• See all scheduled jobs on your phone (only works for Android >=7.0)

$ adb shell dumpsys jobscheduler

• The same jobId (999) is used every time a job is scheduled, so former fetch handlers are overriden when you define a new fetch handler.
• The job is persisted on device reboots.
• SchedulerPlugin.finish() will call JobService.jobFinished.

This plugin is mostly a merge of https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-plugin-background-fetch and https://github.com/transistorsoft/transistor-background-fetch, with extra built-in job parameters.
