Background Task Stops Prematurely on Android 12+ and Android 14 with react-native-background-actions #231

Issue Description: I'm encountering a problem with the react-native-background-actions library on Android 12 and above. Despite configuring foreground service types and granting all required permissions as per the documentation, the background task only runs for 2-4 minutes before stopping abruptly when the app is killed.

Steps Taken:

Implemented foreground service types as specified. Ensured all necessary permissions (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION, etc.) are granted. Verified that the app is correctly configured to handle background tasks.

Expected Behavior: The background task should continue to run reliably in the background on Android 12 and above, without being terminated prematurely.

Additional Information: Library Version:4.0.0 Android Device OS: Android 12+Android 14 Development Environment: React Native 0.74.3

Any guidance or insights into resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is common, as the OS has absolute control over the background processes of the device. See https://github.com/Rapsssito/react-native-background-actions/issues/22#issuecomment-628737527
