<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"/>

Go to the project folder, in app ->> src ->> main and modify the AndroidManifest.xml with notepad.

You need to put the -uses permission- between

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.exemple">

Your manifest should be of this format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.test">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"/>        
    <application 
        android:hardwareAccelerated="true">
        ...
    </application>

</manifest>
