Unable to upgrade to Android 12

[Diegodotcom]

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 1.4.0
• Platform: Android

Expected Behavior

The application should run with no problems after updating the compile and target sdk version to 31 (Android 12).

Actual Behavior

The application is having issues during the manifest merger due to the lack of the "android:exported" tags in one of the SDK receivers in the AndroidManifest.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load the 1.4.0 plugin in a sample app.
2. Go to app/build.gradle
3. Set "compileSdkVersion" to 31
4. Set "targetSdkVersion" to 31
5. Run the application.

Debug logs

Build output:
Manifest merger failed : android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for <receiver>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. 

See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.

Receiver:
     <receiver android:name="com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.BootReceiver">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

@christocracy it seems the RN version of your geolocation library is much ahead of this native version. Is this version deprecated? - and is there a different way to consume your geolocation library in iOS / Android native apps? (I hope so, that would be cool!)
