Please don't do that. udev is a not a service manager and starting (long
running) tasks from a udev rule is bad.
See also the udev man page:
Starting daemons or other long-running processes is not appropriate
for udev; the forked processes, detached or not, will be
unconditionally killed after the event handling has finished.
If you want to trigger the start of a service via udev, tag the device
with "systemd" and use SYSTEMD_WANTS [1] via a custom udev rule, like
<your matches>,TAG+="systemd",ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="foo.service"
