fix(android): app stuck on splash screen from main-thread string loading

PlaybackService.onCreate runs on the main thread and called
runBlocking { getString(...) } for its notification strings. Compose
resources share one in-flight load per strings file (AsyncCache creates the
Deferred in the caller's scope); when App()'s stringResource started that
load on the main dispatcher first, blocking main to await it deadlocked and
the first frame never rendered. Timing-dependent, so mostly seen under the
debugger.

Create the notification channel immediately under the app name and update
its localized name/description from serviceScope. The short-lived
placeholder notification no longer carries localized text.
