Create native components for my phonegap app to run in background

I am in the process of building a phonegap app and have come across something that requires native code. I need the app to check if the user is more or less than X distance from Y every 5 mins. I have done the js and it works great, however when the app is not in the foreground it doesn't check as often + the app being killed by the system because it is not in the foreground is a big problem.

I have no experience with android development so I am not sure on what is involved to make this work, but from what I understand I need a background service so the app keeps running in the background and gets the resources it needs from the device to not kills the app + check location every 5 mins.

At this stage I only need this for android, I will need iOS later and would ideally work with the same developer for that, but I will make a new project here for that.

If you have any questions please ask.

Details I forgot to mention:
I am using Firebase as my backend. App checks for far X is from Y, with X being the users location and Y being a coordinate stored on firebase.

Better description of the project:

I would like an android service made for my phonegap project. The service will need to get the users location with a minimum of 50m accuracy and send the coordinates, accuracy and timestamp to firebase. This will need to be done every 5 mins rather than constantly in order to save battery life. The firebase ref will include the user's ID, so experience with firebase auth will help.
