ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException in SdlRouterStatusProvider

Bug Summary

This is something coming in from Crashlytics that we have been unable to reproduce so far. After upgrading our app to target API 31, we received numerous crashes including this one. Very similar to issue #1815 but distinct from it. This crash is coming from line 139 in SdlRouterStatusProvider.bindToService() when context.startForegroundService is called. Likely needs a fix similar to #1823.

Reproduction Steps

Unfortunately unable to reproduce at the moment. This crash came from our Crashlytics logs and was observed after targeting API 31 and moving to SDL 5.4.0.
