Some code would have helped...
Feel free to add input validation check in a PR if you would like this solved, sounds to me like something you would do accidentally, then test, and understand that it's wrong, but that might just be me :-)

It is real!! What else would I like to be able to contribute to the project. But really my knowledge of JAVA is very basic and I really don't know what I should do to make the BUG I present disappear. I'll really try to see what can be done, but I think the person who made the plugin should be able to solve it without any problem and in a matter of seconds. Greetings!!!!

I don't know what the use case is as you have not shared any code.
Regardless, you can use android studio to be able to reproduce the issue if it happens always and see which code changes need to be done in order to fix this.
Once you find a way to solve the issue feel free to open a PR.
If you need assistance in setting up a debug environment, I suggest reading the cordova/ionic manuals.

I have little different case. Our back end can not fetch the posted data. Here the configuration we used:

       url: 'https://ourbackend.com/api/set',
       syncUrl: 'https://ourbackend.com/api/set',
       httpHeaders:{
           'Content-type':'application/json',
       },
       postTemplate:{
           lat: '@latitude',
           lon: '@longitude',
           dev: device.uuid,
       }

So, @HarelM , would you please tell us the equivalent or similar syntax of the configuration above in javascript fetch or curl format?
When we send the data using fetch in separate function , our back end which run laravel could retrieve the posted data.

I can't help here, sorry, you'll need to figure it out yourself.

It's OK. My curiosity led me to sniff packets sent from this plugin to local unsecured servers. Here are the results. Hopefully it can help anyone who will create a back end server.
