react-native-background-geolocation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling startHeadlessTask)

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 3.2.2
• Platform: Android
• OS version: linux
• Device manufacturer / model: try different android devices
• React Native version (react-native -v): 0.59.8
• Plugin config

BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
  reset: true, // <-- true to always apply the supplied config
  // Geolocation Config
  desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
  distanceFilter: 0,
  // Activity Recognition
  stopTimeout: 1,
  // useSignificantChangesOnly: true,
  // Application config
  debug: false, // <-- enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
  logLevel: BackgroundGeolocation.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
  enableHeadless: true,
  stopOnTerminate: false,   // <-- Allow the background-service to continue tracking when user closes the app.
  startOnBoot: true,        // <-- Auto start tracking when device is powered-up.
}, (state) => {
  console.log("- BackgroundGeolocation is configured and ready!!", state.enabled);

  if (!state.enabled) {
    ////
    // 3. Start tracking!
    //
    BackgroundGeolocation.start(function() {
      console.log("BackgroundGeolocation started successfully");
    });
  }
});

////
// Define your Headless task -- simply a javascript async function to receive 
// events from BackgroundGeolocation:
//
let HeadlessTask = async (event: any) => {
  let params = event.params;
  console.log('[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] -', event.name, params);
  
  switch (event.name) {
    case 'location':
      // Use await for async tasks
      await sendLocationToServer(params)
      console.log('[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] - getCurrentPosition:', params);
      break;
  }
}

// Register your HeadlessTask with BackgroundGeolocation plugin - for android on killed mode
BackgroundGeolocation.registerHeadlessTask(HeadlessTask);

// This handler fires whenever bgGeo receives a location update - for foreground in android and ios + ios in killed mode
BackgroundGeolocation.onLocation(sendLocationToServer, errorCode => requestLogMessage(`onLoction failed with errorCode: ${errorCode}`));

Expected Behavior

1. Locations should be send to my server event if the app is in killed mode.
2. I should see in the JS logs the logs from the headless task

Actual Behavior

1. Locations not sent
2. it seems the the headless task is not invoked
