💡 What: Refined the foreground service notification by replacing aggressive/technical jargon ("Kill", "Click to open") with standard mobile UX phrasing ("Stop", "Tap to open app"). Additionally, all hardcoded notification text, including the Notification Channel name and description, has been extracted into localized string resources.

🎯 Why: To provide a less alarming, more professional, and mobile-appropriate user experience in system-level UI, while adhering to Android localization best practices. Hardcoding technical jargon (like "Kill") in user-facing notifications degrades trust and usability.

📸 Before/After: Visual change in the system notification drawer where the action button now reads "Stop" and the body text reads "Tap to open app".

♿ Accessibility: Extracting strings to resources ensures they are available for translation, allowing screen readers to announce localized terms rather than raw, potentially confusing hardcoded English.
