ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException on API 31+ (v4.9.2)

[MikolajMichalczak]

Hello,

I'm experiencing a crash on Android 12+ (API 31). The crash log indicates ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException, even though version 4.9.2 should handle foreground service behavior correctly.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
Unable to start service net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadService@a0ea1b5 with null:
android.app.ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException: Service.startForeground() not allowed due to mAllowStartForeground false

Is there anything specific I need to configure to ensure proper foreground service behavior? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
