Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using the 'read aloud' (TTS) feature in the 'Read You' app. However, when I switch to another app, 'Read You' closes, and the reading stops. When I reopen the app, the reading position is lost and it starts over.
Describe the solution you'd like
Optional persistent notification to keep Read You to work in background, so that it's not killed (like media players)
Desired to have with media control (play, pause button) like in Google's "Reading mode" app.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the app's read-aloud/TTS entry point and the existing playback or notification handling; done means reading continues after switching apps, the position is retained, and a persistent notification provides play and pause controls.
