Adding a Connectivity.ConnectivityChanged handler does not work on Android 14

[mikeluken]

Description

When targeting Android 14, the following event is never triggered when toggling Wi-Fi on/off:

Connectivity.ConnectivityChanged += Connectivity_ConnectivityChanged;

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new MAUI app targeting Android 14 (SDK 34). As of now, you will need to use the nightly releases because you can't use a ConnectivityChanged event with 8.0.3 while targeting SDK 34 or you will get an error.

In App.xaml.cs (in App constructor), add the following:

Connectivity.ConnectivityChanged += Connectivity_ConnectivityChanged;

private async void Connectivity_ConnectivityChanged(object sender, ConnectivityChangedEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Hitting here");
}

When toggling on/off wifi, the event is never triggered when targeting Android 14. It works fine if targeting Android 13.
