Cordova Google-analytics-plugin with ionic in Android does not work

I have trouble with getting my cordova/ionic android app to work with google analytics. For now I have tried GAPlugin with anulartics without success, and now I am trying simpler setup with https://github.com/danwilson/google-analytics-plugin

In my ionic angular app, I have added following code in

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {   

 if (typeof analytics !== 'undefined'){
          analytics.startTrackerWithId('UA-55MYNUMB8-1');
          analytics.trackView('testapmain');
          console.log("starting analytics");
          analytics.debugMode()
        }
    else
    {
      console.log("Google Analytics plugin could not be loaded.")
    }
}

and it seems to be workling correctly, following is output of adb -s BH9XXXXJ0D logcat | grep GAV3

looks like it connects to google analytics, sends message

but nothing shows up in google analytics. Google analytic property is set as Mobile App.

ionic is 2.5 cordova 3.6.3-0.2.13 android 4.4.4 phone xperia z1 javac 1.7.0_65 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.2) (7u65-2.5.2-3~14.04) on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

Any idea what might be wrong? Or how to debug it more to see if google analytics is receiving my messages?
