try something like this:

<script src="cordova.js></script>
<script>
    function onDeviceReady(){
        document.addEventListener('pause', onPause, false);
        document.addEventListener('resume', onResume, false);

        window.plugin.backgroundMode.disable();
    }
    function onResume(){
        window.plugin.backgroundMode.disable();
    }
    function onPause(){
        window.plugin.backgroundMode.enable();
    }
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);

</script>

This will use the cordova deviceready, pause and resume events and should accomplish what you need.

For more info on available events checkout this (current version of cordova is 3.5.0 at the time of writing this.)
