Not working on Andriod with RN v0.48.1

I've just upgraded to the following and the timer no longer works in background. It was working fine before the upgrade.

react-native-cli: 2.0.1 react-native: 0.48.1

I've recompiled in release mode and it is now working. Could be an intermittent bug or only in debug. Will provide more feedback as I test.

Done some testing at the weekend. The background timer stops working if I call react-native-push-notification or react-native-tts in the background function.

I spoke too soon. Yesterday app was running fine in background, timer was writing to console every 10 seconds. Today, it doesn't run at all in background ever if the libraries mentioned above are not used. Very frustrating... my app is useless without being able to run in background.

Further testing shows that it doesn't consistently work even with a new project and only this module.

No updates on this module since the beginning of August so I guess it's dead!

Doesn't work for me as well.

Same for me. Does not work. Using RN 0.51.0.
