Many of our errors in production are caused
by the alarm module finishing. In devices after
android version 7 we are "required" to use
startForegroundService or else the following
error supposedly occurs:
Exception java.lang.IllegalStateException:

I say supposedly because on all of my testing
devices (which are android 7+) this error
doesn't occur.
Related to #142.
Can't be sure this fixed anything because I can't replicate the error
on my emulators running android 13. I need to install android 13
on a real device and try replicate + see if this fixes it.
This was supposed to solve the timer stopping sometimes
when the application was in the background.
It was actually stopping because of battery optimizations.
