You need to check MainApplication.java file, check if

new BackgroundGeolocationPackage() is there. After that make these changes in app/build.gradle

compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"


compile(project(':react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation')) {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-location'
    }
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:+'

Rebuild the project after that and see.
