Description

In android when you have a plugin that opens new activity the CordovaActivity will be killed and you won't get the result from the plugin.
The new activity will get the results but because the plugin objects are dead and the webview reloaded you can get the data to the js callback.
The most noticeable example is the camera plugin. (And maybe its the same with even more platforms)
possible solution for this is to add metadata to the device ready event with incoming data from plugins.
