* *Why Foreground Service is Used**
Balcony uses a foreground service to enable continuous location sharing and real-time emergency alerts. This ensures:
* Alerts and tracking continue, even when the app is in the background.
* A persistent notification clearly shows when location sharing is active.
* Users can stop sharing or disable tracking at any time.
