Have you looked at NG-Cordova?

first add ng-cordova to your project:

bower install ngCordova

or

Then inject it:

angular.module('myApp', ['ngCordova'])

Here is a plugin you could try: http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/backgroundGeolocation/

just install the plugin:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/christocracy/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation.git

then bind it to a controller:

module.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $cordovaBackgroundGeolocation) {



    var options = {
        // https://github.com/christocracy/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation#config
      };

      document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () {

        // `configure` calls `start` internally
        $cordovaBackgroundGeolocation.configure(options)
        .then(
          null, // Background never resolves
          function (err) { // error callback
            console.error(err);
          },
          function (location) { // notify callback
            console.log(location);
          });


        $scope.stopBackgroundGeolocation = function () {
          $cordovaBackgroundGeolocation.stop();
        };

      }, false);
    });
