FTP button in status bar pulldown does not start FTP server

Describe the bug
The FTP button (icon) in the status (notification) bar pulldown does not start FTP server UNLESS the Amaze app is running.
If the app is running, the FTP button works as expected/designed.

If the app is not running, the logcat has

[11-26 18:24:44.615 7011:7011 V/FtpReceiver]
Received: com.amaze.filemanager.services.ftpservice.FTPReceiver.ACTION_START_FTPSERVER
