FOREGROUND SERVICES USAGE REASONS
This application requires a foreground service to ensure reliable functionality during workouts. In compliance with Google Play policies, foreground services are necessary when the app performs essential background tasks, including:
1. Location tracking: Continuously monitoring the user's GPS position to record an accurate route for their workout. This is critical for displaying the workout path on the map and calculating distances.
2. Timers and notifications: Managing workout intervals (e.g., run/walk cycles) and notifying the user in real-time without interruptions.
3. Health and fitness tracking: Recording physical activity, such as step counting, to generate detailed fitness statistics post-workout.
The app uses both FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION for location-related tracking and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_HEALTH for health and fitness features. These services ensure uninterrupted functionality, even when the screen is off or the app is in the background, aligning with the user's expectations for a fitness application.
