Get work Ionic + ngCordova + background geolocation

Question

Purpose of the application: to get geolocation at each turn and the place of registration when the application is in the foreground and in the background.

I tried so much code and combination, but I can not get it to work (after 2 days ...).

Classic geolocation (getCurrentPosition) works fine, but when we close the application, background geolocation starts, but nothing happens ... The "callbackFn" function never starts.

I am testing iOS using xcode> Audio Features and Location Activated for Background Activity. I also did the work with the jQuery example example specified in the plugin, so I saw that it works, but never with ionic / angular ones.

Here is the current controller processing the background:

.controller('TestCtrl', function($scope, $timeout, $cordovaBackgroundGeolocation, $ionicPlatform, $window)
{
$scope.lat_geo = "loading lat...";
$scope.long_geo = "loading long...";


//-- Geolocal launch
var options = {
    enableHighAccuracy : false,
    desiredAccuracy: 0,
    stationaryRadius: 1,
    distanceFilter: 5,
    notificationTitle: 'Background tracking', // <-- android only, customize the title of the notification
    notificationText: 'ENABLED', // <-- android only, customize the text of the notification
    activityType: 'AutomotiveNavigation',
    debug: true, // <-- enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
    stopOnTerminate: false // <-- enable this to clear background location settings when the app terminates
};

$ionicPlatform.ready(function()
{
    console.log("[IONIC PLATFORM IS NOW READY]");

    //-- First launch a basic geolocalisation to get user acceptance of geosharing ;)
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(location) {
            console.log('[GEOLOCAL JS1] Location from Phonegap');
    },
    function (error){
            console.log('[GEOLOCAL JS1] error with GPS: error.code: ' + error.code + ' Message: ' + error.message);
    },options);

    //-- test adaptation depuis l'app jquery
    var callbackFn = function(location) {
            console.log('[BackgroundGeoLocation] Update callback:  ' + location.latitude + ',' + location.longitude);
    };

    var failureFn = function(error) {
            console.log('[BackgroundGeoLocation] Error: '+error);
    };

    $cordovaBackgroundGeolocation.configure(callbackFn, failureFn, options);

    // Turn ON the background-geolocation system.  The user will be tracked whenever they suspend the app.
    $cordovaBackgroundGeolocation.start();

    //-- Just a timeout to retreive long / lat
    $timeout(function()
    {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(location)
        {
            console.log('[GEOLOCAL JS3] Location from Phonegap');
            startPos = location;
            $scope.$apply(function () {
                $scope.lat_geo = startPos.coords.latitude;
                $scope.long_geo = startPos.coords.longitude;
            });
            console.log("[GEOLOCAL BASIC] OK this time :)");
        },
        function (error){
            console.log('[GEOLOCAL JS3] error with GPS: error.code: ' + error.code + ' Message: ' + error.message);
        },options);
    }, 3000);

});
//-- End Geolocal
})
