### Platforms affected
Android
### What does this PR do?
When the app is started with cdvStartInBackground=true then a pendingPause
event is cached until the messageChannel is initialised (before the pause event
never reached the webview and it wasn't possible to determine in JS code that
the app was started in the background), this change results in the following JS
events inside the app:
- pause
- deviceready
As a user you can then store a flag (e.g. app.inBackground) and this can be
checked in 'deviceready' handler.
### What testing has been done on this change?
Only manually tested on several Android phones.

> Android MainActivity cdvStartInBackground=true fails to fire pause event
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-13975
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13975
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-android
> Reporter: Rich T
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: CoreAndroid.java
>
>
> The MainActivity created from the template that adds support for starting the
> app in the background via the cdvStartInBackground flag doesn't fire the
> pause event. Debugging the Android code it looks like onPause is called
> before the messageChannel is set so the send event is dropped.
> There should probably be a pendingPause flag like the pendingResume.
> The reason this is a problem is that I am using the phonegap-push-plugin to
> wake the app in the background and I want to know that the app is in the
> background so I can disable polling requests which are a data and battery
> drain, currently I cannot do this and the app can just be sitting there in
> the background consuming resources it doesn't need.
