This ensures the DownloadService stays functional on Android 14 where defining this type is required. On Android 14 and above, the app also needs to define the DATA_SYNC permission, which is added to the demo app as well. In the future, this service type will no longer be supported and DownloadService needs to be rewritten with another background scheduling framework.
