Bug description

I’m not getting any notification on Android Auto with the following setup:

Signal 8.13.2 (from Play Store)
Android Auto version 16.9.662034-release com.google.android.projection.gearhead (from Play Store)
microG 0.3.15
[aa4mg](https://github.com/sn-00-x/aa4mg) 0.6.4
/e/OS 3.7 (Android 15) running on a Fairphone 5

I have granted access to Android Auto to the notifications.

What else can I check?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-notification behavior with Signal 8.13.2 on the listed Fairphone 5, Android 15 /e/OS 3.7, microG, aa4mg, and Android Auto versions. No source file, test, or debug log is identified; done would require isolating the cause and confirming that Android Auto notifications work in the affected setup.
