FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE doesn't show any prompt. This is a new permission for android 14 and above.

 private fun requestPermissions() {
        val perms = mutableListOf(
            ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
            RECORD_AUDIO, // Add microphone permission
        )
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) {
            perms.add(POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
        }
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) {
            perms.add(FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE)
        }
        val permsToRequest = mutableListOf<String>()
        val rationaleMessages = mutableListOf<String>()

        // Check which permissions are missing and need to be requested

                    ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION -> rationaleMessages.add(getString(R.string.permission_location_rationale))

I think this is as designed. and you can use either one: RECORD_AUDIO or FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE , it has the same prompt, no need to use both.
