react-native-background-geolocation: Android 8 crashes when location is turned off on the phone

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 2.11.0, 2.12.0
• Platform: Android
• OS version: 8+
• Device manufacturer / model:
• React Native version (react-native -v): 0.51, 0.54
• Plugin config: Default

Expected Behavior

Location listener should get an error or providerchange listener should say that location services are turned off

Actual Behavior

App crashes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Turn location services off (app has permission to use location)
2. Navigate to a view where BackgroundGeolocation.start() is called
3. App crashes

Context

I’m sorry if it has nothing to do with this library, but since it only occurs when the location services have a specific state, I’m posting it here just in case. An issue with the same error message has been posted to the Android issue tracker as well: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/76112072
