Answer 1

As per https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/DetectedActivity

ON_FOOT: "The device is on a user who is walking or running."

WALKING: "The device is on a user who is walking. This is a sub-activity of ON_FOOT."

RUNNING: "The device is on a user who is running. This is a sub-activity of ON_FOOT."
