SleepReminderService not calling startForeground

[fennifith]

This is a problem. This causes a crash. It... probably shouldn't. Ideally it should figure out if it's going to call startForeground before starting... and not just decide not to once it's started. I can't remember what the reasoning was behind this.

Full stack trace:

Update: I've remembered why this is necessary -

The service registers a BroadcastReceiver and obtains an instance of PowerManager to detect the screen on/off state while it is running; the service can be started and remain running as long as an alarm is in the "sleep" period, but the service will only be in the foreground (and thus displaying a persistent notification) while the screen is on. Unfortunately, the screen on/off intents cannot be registered from the manifest, so if I cannot find a way around this crash then it may spell the end for this feature in Oreo and above.
