How to send the authentication token with the header in Ionic 4?

Without using HttpInterceptor, I would like to send a header which contains the authorization token to my backend. Here is my attempt to do so through a Headers object:

   import { Http, Headers, RequestOptions } from "@angular/http";
    getPoints() {
        var headers = new Headers();
        headers.append("Authorization", "Bearer " + localStorage.getItem("token"));
        headers.append("Content-Type", "application/json");
        return this.http.get(environment.apiUrl + "/user/getCurrentPoints", {
          headers
        });
      }

In the backend I am using this middleware function to verify the token:

  var isAuthenticated = function(req, res, next) {
  var token = req.headers["Authorization"];
  console.log("mytoken is " + token);
  if (!token) {
    return res.status(401).json({
      error: null,
      msg: "You have to login first before you can access your lists.",
      data: null
    });
  }
  jwt.verify(token, req.app.get("secret"), function(err, decodedToken) {
    if (err) {
      return res.status(401).json({
        error: err,
        msg: "Login timed out, please login again.",
        data: null
      });
    }
    req.decodedToken = decodedToken;
    next();
  });

};

Here is the end point in my backend:

router.get(
  "/user/getCurrentPoints",
   isAuthenticated,
   userCtrl.getCurrentPoints
 );

The problem is I am always getting 401 error: You have to login first before you can access your lists. Also, I get that my token is undefined, in the backend. Am I sending the token incorrectly to the backend?

Try Below code 

const httpOptions = {
    headers: new HttpHeaders({
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + localStorage.getItem("token")
    })
  };
this.httpClientObj.get(environment.apiUrl + "/user/getCurrentPoints", httpOptions);
