title: LocalBroadcastManager has been deprecated. What I should use instead in its place?
body: <p>I'm working on this project in Android in which an aspect requires a CountdownTimer with a foreground service. A few other answers on Stack Overflow mentioned that LocalBroadcastManager would be suitable for my needs.</p>
  
  <p>The documentation in Android Developers, however, mentions that it has been deprecated. Any suggestions on what I should use in its place? The documentation mentioned about using LiveData, but I was wondering if there are any easier alternatives.</p>
