Based on the docs, I should be able to replace the backtrack and weather foreground services with it - for Android 12 I might need to experiment with how it can work with AlarmManager for exact notifications.

Also, some background services might be able to use it for daily jobs (daily weather, astronomy alerts).

Create a proof of concept app with the following:

[x] setForeground
[x] Coroutine worker
[x] Expedited jobs
[x] Can an anonymous class be used?
