Can we start foreground service from Work Manager?

I am starting foreground service from the work manager doWork method.

1. Is it ok to do so?

2. startForegroundService should call startForeground within 5 seconds otherwise exception will happen. How to prevent this? (Note I have added startForeground in onCreate of Service)

    override fun doWork(): Result {
   
            val intent = Intent()
            intent.setClassName(App.context.packageName, "com.xyz.MySerivce")
            intent.putExtra("sync_service_initiate", true)
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                applicationContext.startForegroundService(intent)
                applicationContext.stopService(intent)
            } else {
                applicationContext.startService(intent)
            }
           return Result.success()
    }
