Description

Note: The bug entry form wouldn't let me enter the correct versions because it said they don't exist.

Using Cordova CLI 4.2.0 and the latest (0.2.14) version of the org.apache.cordova.network-information plugin, we are seeing many many "online" events, resulting in Android devices repeatedly hitting our server for updates.

To confirm the issue:

• Create a new cordova project
• platform add android
• cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.network-information

Then add:

document.addEventListener('offline', this.onOffline, false);
document.addEventListener('online', this.onOnline, false);

and console.log each time the event's received.

I am seeing it 3 or 4 times each time I toggle Airplane mode on my Samsung S5. We are seeing this in our logs for a wide variety of Android devices in the wild however.
