Media panel

Problem Description

Hi,

I noticed that SimpMusic does not appear in the compact system media controls (quick settings / media panel) on Samsung OneUI, while apps like Spotify do. It only shows up as a regular notification in the expanded view.

Is this because SimpMusic does not fully implement Android MediaSession / MediaStyle notifications?

Are there any plans to support a fully compliant MediaSession (including proper playback state, session activation, and MediaStyle notification with session token) so the app can appear in the system’s quick media controls?

Thanks.

Proposed Solution

Implement a fully compliant Android MediaSession and MediaStyle notification:

• Use MediaSession (or MediaSessionCompat) and keep it active during playback
• Properly update playback state (play, pause, seek, buffering)
• Attach the session token to a MediaStyle notification
• Request and manage audio focus correctly
• Ensure the notification is marked as a media playback notification

This should allow the app to appear in the system’s compact media controls (Quick Settings / media panel), especially on Samsung OneUI.

No response

Start by inspecting the Android playback notification and MediaSession integration, then compare the current behavior with the MediaSession and MediaStyle requirements described in the issue. Done means the session stays active during playback, playback state and audio focus are handled, the notification carries the session token, and the app appears in Samsung OneUI compact media controls.
