Question: UI thread slows down in Android when ForeGroundService in action #230

Hi,

OS: Android

I'm working on an Android application that uploads audio/video/images in background (while the user can still use the UI).

I tried this package and it works well. However, when the audio/video/image upload is going on in a ForeGroundService, the UI becomes very unresponsive.

I think this is expected as the Headless JS uses the UI thread (or the main thread).

Is there a way to get around this behaviour?

Thank you.
