Current behavior:
SDK 31 PendingIntent flag error, Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.

Exact error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service de.appplant.cordova.plugin.background.ForegroundService: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.

Expected behavior:
This error is already handled in the source plugin repo and should be updated here.

Other information:
I don't know if this helps but since i am in a capacitor project i added the cordova plugins using npm as below:

npm install cordova-plugin-background-mode
npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/background-mode
npm install cordova-plugin-device

then had to do
npm uninstall cordova-plugin-background-mode
in order to add the plugin code directly from its repo, and it worked correctly after that.
npm install https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode.git
