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.

Session module
This module provides media session functionality through which media information and controls can be exposed to the Android platform, as well as to other processes and applications.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-session:1.X.X'
where 1.X.X
is the version, which must match the version of the other media
modules being used.
Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
