Description

The Android API 20 documentation currently states that "MOBILE" and "WIFI" are returned when referencing NetworkInfo.getTypeName().

By testing on a Nexus 5 with the Android L Developer Preview, NetworkInfo.getTypeName() is actually returning "CELLULAR" and "WIFI" instead.

Thus the Cordova Network plugin will only return "UNKNOWN" (line 270 in NetworkManager.java) unless the device is connected on a Wi-Fi network.
