StopWatch Timer on Service Android Studio Kotlin Tutorial

How to create a stop watch timer app that runs in the background using Android Studio and Kotlin. In this example project build a stopwatch app that counts up from zero. The timer is running on a service meaning it runs on a background thread and not the main UI Thread. The advantage of running a timer on a service is that if the screen rotates the timer continues to count. If the app it put to the background the timer will continue to count up as expected.

The stopwatch timer will be able to start, pause and reset.
