## Expected Behavior
The Background Geofence service should start.


## Actual Behavior
The app crashed

## Steps to Reproduce
<!--- reproduce this issue; include code to reproduce, if relevant -->
1. Create a RN 0.62.0 project;
2. Install lib following all steps of documentation;
3. Initialize BackgroundGeolocation service and call the BackgroundGeolocation.start() following the documentation example;
4. Run your project on Android device

I've had a number of these reports over the past few days. Something changed in Android and/or RN recently.

Add following to your android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {  
    implementation 'androidx.localbroadcastmanager:localbroadcastmanager:1.0.0'
}

I'll probably add this to the plugin's build.gradle

Thanks. Excellent support.
