+### Get informed when the background mode has been activated
+The `backgroundMode.onactivate` interface can be used to get notified when the background mode has been activated.
+
+```javascript
+cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.onactivate = function() {};
+```
+
+### Get informed when the background mode has been deactivated
+The `backgroundMode.ondeactivate` interface can be used to get notified when the background mode has been deactivated.
+
+#### Further informations
+- Once the mode has been deactivated the app will be paused soon after the callback has been fired.
+
+```javascript
+cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.ondeactivate = function() {};
+```
+
+### Get informed when the background mode could not been activated
+The `backgroundMode.onfailure` interface can be used to get notified when the background mode could not been activated.
+
+The listener has to be a function and takes the following arguments:
+ - errorCode: Error code which describes the error
+
+```javascript
+cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.onfailure = function(errorCode) {};
+```
+
 
 ## Examples
 The following example demonstrates how to enable the background mode after device is ready. The mode itself will be activated when the app has entered the background.
 
 ```javascript
 document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
-    // Enable background mode
-    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
     // Android customization
     cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.configure({ text:'Doing heavy tasks.'});
+    // Enable background mode
+    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
+    // Called when background mode has been activated
+    cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.onactivate = function () {
+        setInterval(function () {
+            console.log('App is running in background');
+        });

 }, false);
