Yes option startForeground: false, but don't recommend to use it, as it will make plugin more vulnerable to OS kill.

@mauron85 is this comment still valid? If yes then why not to add it in the doc?

@Shhzdmrz my comment is valid. From the docs: startForeground: false "if false location service will not be started in foreground and no notification will be shown."

@mauron85 I am confused now startForeground: false, is it mean service will totally not started or just it will not show the notification in foreground?
The screen having location service with config startForeground as true it never remove the screen even I kill the app and open it again the same screen will open and you are recommending not to use it, as it will make plugin more vulnerable to OS kill. I am not a native developer please briefly explain it.

it seems that it starts in background without a notification (in this simplest mode, the service will be killed by the system in order to claim their memory space -android politics- ). startForeground: true flag just creates the notification and binds the service to it in order to prevent the service be killed by the system (that could be a definition of "service in foreground")
