If you read carefully in the end of second line

requires android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE

I was also facing the same error in one of my project I resolve it by adding permission in the manifest file. So just simply add foreground permission in the manifest file.

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

Hope it's work for you.
