Current behavior:
After registering the hardware back then if ads are displayed, pressing the hardware back exits the app and does not bind to the normal behaviour

Expected behavior:
Hardware back should execute the registered fuctions

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new app with any template add.
2. Add the admob-free plugin
3. Register hardwarback to log something(Not to exit).
4. Display ads.
5. Press hardware back

Related code:

In the constructor of app.component.ts register the back handler

        platform.registerBackButtonAction(() => {
        console.log("Back Pressed");
      });

Display banner ads or interstitals then without pressing anything in the app press the back button.
The app will exit. We are not exiting the app in our handler.

APP REPO HERE.

This is not an issue with Ionic Framework as clarified in this issue . This clearly means the plugin is at fault.

Kindly solve this issue at the earliest.

@prantikv You repo does not showing any ads and the back button works as expected. Here is the repo I am testing.
