如何从Cordova插件中覆盖与Android生命周期相关的功能

Question

Adding a native functionality from a regular Android app into my Cordova plugin I found that I need to do:

 @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        bindService(Intents.getComponentIntent(Intents.COMPONENT_POYNT_SECOND_SCREEN_SERVICE),
                secondScreenServiceConnection, BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
    }

The problem is that I can't copy that on my class that extends CordovaPlugin since the method onResume is not in there:

public class MyThing extends CordovaPlugin {
  //MY CODE, THERE IS NO METHOD onResume in CordovaPlugin class
}

Doing some research I was not able to find much information, here they propose extending the ServiceConnection class, but that is beyond my limited understanding of the Android native development.

I know Cordova expose some callbacks in the javascript side for the application lifecycle, I could create a hook in my plugin to react from a JS call when onResume happens, BUT I need to execute bindService which is a function not available in my class... Is there maybe another way to execute that?

There is an abstract onResume() method in the CordovaPlugin class which you can override like this:

@Override
public void onResume(boolean multitasking) {
    super.onResume(multitasking);
    // Do your stuff here
}
