Reproduction steps

Some of our users get this exception randomly when use our app. This is very strange because users can get this crash even if they close player activity. We use MediaSessionService and after user closes player activity we call stopService methos inside onDestroy() in our activity:

override fun onDestroy() {
stopService(Intent(this, MoviePlayerService::class.java))
super.onDestroy()
}
After user exits player activity sometimes app could crash with ActivityThread.generateForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException, which is strange because our service is already stopped. This crash happens only on devices running Android 13(mainly on Samsung). So my question is: is it a bug with Media3, or problems with several devices, or we just incorrectly stop MediaSessionService? Crash happens randomly and we don't know concrete steps to reproduce it.

Expected result

App shouldn't crash and media should work successfully

Actual result

After closing player screen users could get the crash in random moment
