Ola Auto-Accept Android App

I need a small Android utility that sits on my driver phone and instantly accepts every incoming ride request on the Ola platform without me having to touch the screen. The app’s one and only job is to detect the pop-up that Ola shows for a new ride, trigger “Accept” immediately, and then step out of the way so I can start navigation as usual.
Core expectations
• Runs on Android 8.0 and above, stays active in the background, and restarts automatically after a phone reboot.
• Lets me toggle auto-accept on or off from a simple in-app switch or quick-settings tile.
• Works with the current public version of the Ola driver app; if Ola updates its layout, the code should be written clearly enough that I (or a future freelancer) can adjust the detection rules easily.
• Consumes minimal battery, avoiding aggressive polling—an accessibility service or notification listener is fine as long as it is reliable.
• No root access required; everything must operate within standard Android permissions.
Deliverables
1. Signed APK ready for side-loading.
2. Full source code (Kotlin or Java) in a Git repository with build instructions.
3. A brief README covering required permissions and how to enable the service.
Future-proofing
Right now I only drive with Ola, but if the structure allows me to plug in extra modules later—say, for Uber or Lyft—that would be a bonus, though not essential for this milestone.
If this sounds straightforward to you, please tell me how you plan to hook into the ride notification, what tools or libraries you prefer, and an estimated turnaround time.
