Sample Foreground Service Flutter

This sample project demonstrates the setup for a foreground service, specifically for requesting location data. The permission <uses-permission android:name=" android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION" /> depends on the type of foreground service being used.
Communication between Android Native and Flutter is handled via a channel (refer to the documentation for more details). If you need additional examples on using channels, please check my repository for more information. ExampleChannelNativeAndroidWithCustomData
