Dealing with exactly the same problem, but I was using locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.RAW_PROVIDER because it was necessary for iOS. On Android, I was not receiving location updates. Switched to locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER on Android resolved this issue for me.

As JorenVos said: switched to locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDERon Android resolved this issue for me.
