Context

I want to build my app with this plugin via phonegap, it is OK if I register plugin by adding following line into my config.xml:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation"/>

However, because I have to use another plugin and I follow the instruction you mentioned to set specific google play version and android support library version by the line below, it failed as the log post below.

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation"> <variable name="GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="11+" /> <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION" value="23+" /> <variable name="ALWAYS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="App requires background tracking enabled" /> <variable name="MOTION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="App requires motion detection" /> </plugin>

the plugin I am trying to use with yours is cordova-plugin-camera-preview

ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION 23 seems not to be compatible (it's too old). But I think you can workaround this issue by replacing lines in plugin.xml

<source-file src="android/common/src/oreo/java/com/marianhello/bgloc/NotificationHelper.java" target-dir="src/com/marianhello/bgloc" />
<source-file src="android/common/src/oreo/java/com/marianhello/bgloc/sync/SyncAdapter.java" target-dir="src/com/marianhello/bgloc/sync" />

with

<source-file src="android/common/src/preoreo/java/com/marianhello/bgloc/NotificationHelper.java" target-dir="src/com/marianhello/bgloc" />
<source-file src="android/common/src/preoreo/java/com/marianhello/bgloc/sync/SyncAdapter.java" target-dir="src/com/marianhello/bgloc/sync" />

I was struggling with it yesterday...
Setting ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION to 26+ (and cleaning the project) solved the issue for me. BTW I'm using meteor.

If you can use ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION to 26+ of course you don't need the workaround mentioned above.

I can't find the those two lines that you were referring to. I am using 2.3.6. Am I missing something? I'm having a similar issue where I got an build time error. Thanks
