New migration from mauron85 getting crash upon start

[ZeframNet]

Describe the bug
Migrating from @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation 3.0.3 to cordova-background-geolocation-plugin 2.3.1 using the same code is causing our app to crash.

We haven't updated any of the Javascript on our end, and just did a upgrade of the plugin.

One note with our use of this plugin is that we don't use the provided posting of coordinates, we store them on our own and send them to the backend via a different process...

This is the log of the crash:

background-crash.txt

To Reproduce

BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
  locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.ACTIVITY_PROVIDER,
  desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.HIGH_ACCURACY,
  stationaryRadius: 1,
  debug: false,
  // debug: true,
  distanceFilter: 1,
  interval: 15000, // 15s
  // activityType: 'AutomotiveNavigation'
  saveBatteryOnBackground: false,
  notificationTitle: 'COMPANY',
  notificationText: i18next.t(titleKey),
  notificationIconLarge: 'icon',
  notificationIconSmall: 'icon'
});

BackgroundGeolocation.start();

Expected behavior

The previous code is what we've been using in our app for years. When the code hit BackgroundGeolocation.start() the app just crashes with the above log.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Mainly a Galaxy S8, Android 9.

There has been a lot of changes since this fork was created.
You'll need to find out why the app crashes using Android studio.

[ZeframNet]

The crash log is from Logcat inside of Android Studio. I'm not a Java developer, so I'm not sure how to further debug. From my perspective, I call start and the app crashes.. Where should I go next?
