Geolocation Ionic 3 always return "{}"

I'm stuck with this problem. I'm not able to get the coordinates using Ionic Geolocation. Always return is "{}" .Anybody can help me? This is my code.

import { Geolocation, GeolocationOptions } from '@ionic-native/geolocation';

 constructor(
  private geolocation: Geolocation,
  public platform: Platform,
) {}

this.platform.ready().then(()=>{
  this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(options)
  .then((position) => {
      console.log('Geolocation successful', JSON.stringify( position));
      this.app.alertMsg(  JSON.stringify( position) );
     // let query = '?lat=' + position.coords.latitude + '&lng=' + position.coords.longitude;


  }).catch((error) => {
      console.log('Error getting location', JSON.stringify( error));
  });
 })

Please take a look at this. Cordova Geolocation plugin returning empty position object on Android by Flock Dawson

Apparently, the getCurrentPosition() function returns a 'special' object in Android, which evaluates to {} when using JSON.stringify(). If I outputted the raw return object to the console, it turned out it wasn't empty at all.

And according to https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/geolocation/

you can get the latitude and longitude, etc. by 

 this.app.alertMsg(position.coords.longitude + ' ' + position.coords.latitude);
