Implement WorkManager and Background Processing correctly on Android. Use when creating Worker classes, scheduling tasks with WorkManager, choosing between WorkManager and Foreground Services, or setting up Hilt in workers. (triggers: **/*Worker.kt, CoroutineWorker, WorkManager, doWork, PeriodicWorkRequest, OneTimeWorkRequest, @HiltWorker)

Android Background Work Standards
Priority: P1
Implementation Guidelines
WorkManager
CoroutineWorker: Use for all background tasks.
Constraints: Be explicit (Require Network, Charging).
Hilt: Use @HiltWorker for DI integration. Inject dependencies via @AssistedInject
constructor; bind with HiltWorkerFactory in WorkManager configuration.
Foreground Services
Only When Necessary: Use generating visible notifications only for tasks the user is actively
aware of (Playback, Calls, Active Navigation). Otherwise use WorkManager.
Anti-Patterns
No IntentService: Deprecated. Use WorkManager for all background tasks.
No Short Background Jobs: Use Coroutines in ViewModel scope instead.
