Description

The documentation for the Events
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.1.0/cordova_events_events.md.html#Events
says that for Android it needs the following permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY" />

But after we added the v3.1 corova-plugin-battery-status plugin via CLI we noticed this permission had not been set in the AndroidManifest.xml

And when we went back to look at the plugin.xml for the corova-plugin-battery-status the necessary Android permission is not there.
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-battery-status/blob/master/plugin.xml

So is the permission needed or not? The documentation and battery plugin's plugin.xml seem to be in disagreement
