1. Call ForceSync on app resume …

   This is a UI-only hack to experiment with syncing on every app start/resume.
   In general, our assumption was that people will open the app only sporadically,
   and we want to push data more frequently than that. So we do so in a background
   process.
   
   However, due to the various restrictions on background operations in android,
   sometimes the background process is not launched. We can ask the user to "force
   sync" but that is not a viable solution as well.
   
   We push a UI-only update that force-syncs on every app launch to see the extent
   of this problem and confirm that this fixes it.
   
   Once we know that this works, we should move this to native code, potentially
   by pushing data at the end of a trip as we do on iOS. We may also want to
   introduce silent push notifications on android as well.
   
   Testing done:
   - Started app
   - Paused and resumed app
   
   Saw message "app has started/resumed, forcing sync on android" in the console
   in both cases.
