How to call a method inside of a service in app.module - Angular

I have a function in my service as follow:

export class DualLogonService {
  url: string;
  constructor(private router: Router) {}

  saveURL(): void {
    this.url = this.router.url;
  }
}

App.module

import { DualLogonService } from './ dual-logon/dual-logon.service';
...
export function saveUrl(dualLogonService: DualLogonService, router: Router) {
  console.log(router.url);TypeError: Cannot read property 'url' of undefined
  return dualLogonService.saveURL();//TypeError: Cannot read property 'saveURL' of undefined
}


{
  provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
  deps: [DualLogonService],
  useFactory: saveUrl,
  multi: true
}

If I do the following int the service, the function is accessible in the app.module, but I can't use the this.router.url:

export function saveURL() {
   this.url = this.router.url;
}

  //This function should be above the @ngModel decorator
  export function callSaveUrl(dualLogonService: DualLogonService) {
       //Do what you need here
       return (): Promise<any> => { 
         return dualLogonService.saveUrl();
        }
  }


 DualLogonService,
 { provide: APP_INITIALIZER,useFactory: callSaveUrl, deps: [DualLogonService], multi: true}

Try something like this, its untested but I think this is what you are looking for

Change your code from 

{
 provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
 deps: [DualLogonService],
 useFactory: saveUrl,
 multi: true
}

To this

DualLogonService,
{ provide: APP_INITIALIZER,useFactory: callSaveUrl, deps: [DualLogonService], multi: true}
