Charger ports?

[Texas4Runner]

Hey I lost my cellphone 'in the wall charger' and just purchased a charger for the 4Runner. The issue I am having is without the ignition in the 'on' position I get no charge? My mom has an '08 Mariner and the phone charges just by plugging in the cable, do I have an issue or is this normal?
