Raise notification importance

[dJani97]

I'm considering to use this package in an app, so I was reading thought the issues.

Problem

I found two issues concerning notification importance

• background notification not showing on android 12 due to low notification importance #147
• Works after app kill and reboot, but only for 2 hours, Android 11 #96

The subject of these issues is the fact that notification importance is currently set to low, which is not desirable as the system may not show, or hide the notification after a while:

background_location/android/src/main/kotlin/com/almoullim/background_location/LocationUpdatesService.kt

Line 134 in 6756c7c

val mChannel = NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW)

Solution

In issue #96 the author mentions a fork of this repository in which he implemented a fix. It can be seen in this commit:

The changes can be seen here:

https://github.com/willhaslett/background_location_important/commit/45797a7082c84910544cb0b99e239e3566cfee31

It's basically changing NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW to NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT.

Can you please also implement it this in this repository?
