fix(android_intent_plus): startForegroundService on SDK higher than 26
Description
Currently, when starting a foreground service or a non-foreground service while the application is in the background, the application fails with
not allowed to start service intent app is in background
This can be tested by trying to start a service where the application isn't in the foreground
- Previous behaviour, it would give the error above
- New behaviour sends the intent as expected and starts the service
The activity.startService logic has been removed as it isn't super necessary (applicationContext works fine) and it doesn't seem to work for startForegroundService when the target app is in the background, but I might be wrong here

Thanks for looking into this! Could you add an example to the example that runs a foreground service? I'm trying to understand when this would be necessary, and I would like to test before approving. Also, the PR is set as Draft, not sure if that is intentional.
