Small tracking notification improvements

[wonder-sk]

For discussion:

• use single-color icon like all standard apps (android draws it black or white depending on color)
• use our text in the notification instead of generic text (something like "Mergin Maps is running")
  • later we could do regular updates of the text with the time of tracking
  • I have intentionally used just a single line to make the notification take less space (like Strava does)
• low instead of high importance of notification - does not make sound and no toast
• behavior FOREGROUND_SERVICE_IMMEDIATE so that notification icon appears immediately in status bar
• when tapped on the notification, open the app rather than app settings

Icon in the system bar:

Notification when the system menu is open:

Notification when it gets expanded:

When the app is open - the notification icon is still there:

I would like to see Stop shortcut beside it. So, users can stop tracking without going to app, find the action button and stop it there.

Minor revision - I wanted to use our "grass" green color for the icon's background... in the end Android uses different tint of green (probably it has some sort of limited palette in its style) but I think it's better than the blue background it was giving me (this is Samsung S21 - it may looks differently on stock Android)

For logo - if it is stricly single color use this variant https://drive.google.com/file/d/170oszgU06SG8XD0bEKuH-W2WZMYWvUIC/view?usp=share_link

Good point! Let me know @wonder-sk if you need to export it

@PeterPetrik this is how it looks with the single color logo icon... I am not convinced it looks better, but I am easy. Or maybe Andrej could prepare a better icon (or maybe reuse the icon used in the GUI for tracking)

[PeterPetrik]

@wonder-sk IMHO, I would go for it, it may not look the best but it is our officially recognised logo. Or we can ask the logo author for another variant for this purpose..
