When and why to use a Foreground Service?
Tests your grasp of Android's background execution limits. A great answer explains they're for user-visible tasks like music playback, requires `startForegroundService()`, and must show a notification within 5 seconds.
This tests your understanding of Android's background execution limits for user-initiated tasks. A great answer defines the use case (user-noticeable tasks like navigation), outlines the modern startup process (`startForegroundService()` then `startForeground()` within 5 seconds with a notification and service type), and mentions the `FOREGROUND_SERVICE` permission. A red flag is describing the old `startService()` flow or failing to emphasize the mandatory notification and the strict 5-second ANR window.
