I was able to fix this issue for myself and like to share the steps that I took:

AndroidManifest.xml
I have added to the permission.

I'm also using the the solution from here:
#719 (comment)

To request the ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION permission during run time.

plugin.xml

I have added android:exported="true" to AuthenticatorService LocationContentProvider and LocationServiceImpl

Those changes fixed the crash on startup but did not allow to run the service in background.

The fix for this was within the common background-geolocation-android repositorie. I had to update all PendingIntent in

ActivityRecognitionLocationProvider.java
NotificationHelper.java

to FLAG_MUTABLE

It seems to work fine for now.
