> PocketCasts previously displayed its "media playing" notification as a media notification, but it stopped working when I switched to the new phone. I'm attaching a screenshot of the media notification for another app (Deezer). Can you please help me to fix this issue?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on a Google Pixel 8 Pro running Android 14 SDK 34: play a Pocket Casts podcast and check the Media notifications view. Compare the behavior before and after uninstalling and reinstalling the app; done means the media notification appears without reinstalling.
