Subject: [PATCH] fix: use specialUse foreground service type for Android 16
 compatibility

Android 16 throws SecurityException when starting a foreground service
with type systemExempted. Change to specialUse which is supported on
all Android versions >= 14.

Also change targetSdkVersion from 35 to 34 for broader compatibility.
