startForeground has slightly different meaning.
If false (default) then service will create notification and promotes itself to foreground service, when client unbinds from service. This typically happens when application is moving to background. If app is moving back to foreground (becoming visible to user) service destroys notification and also stop being foreground service.
If true service will create notification and will stay in foreground at all times.
