FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION & DATA_SYNC: Required and correctly added for Android 14+ — ensures your foreground service is not silently blocked.

foregroundServiceType="location|dataSync": Correct — you're telling the system what types of foreground tasks this service will handle.

android:stopWithTask="true":

✅ Means the service will stop when your app's task is removed (like swiping it away from recent apps).

⚠️ This is okay if you're not trying to run location updates after the user kills the app manually.

❌ If your goal is to keep tracking even when the app is killed, this should be false and you need a strategy like WorkManager or BroadcastReceiver for BOOT and KILL handling.
