Android - More native buttons for notification audio panel.

[JohnRSim]

Attached below Spotify and AIMP player displays.
Next to phone speaker can we add an option to load a custom icon logo?

Also is it possible to add additional buttons on the notification display?
Spotify has randomise and add to playlist
AIMP has favourite and close icon.

I can't get the seek to display I just have a single back icon which restarts the music.
Also what is the difference between friendlyTitle and artistName?

		await AudioPlayer.create({
			audioId,
			audioSource: mainAudioHref,
			friendlyTitle: friendlyTitle,
			albumTitle:albumTitle,
			artistName:artistName,
			useForNotification: true,
			artworkSource: fileArt,
			isBackgroundMusic: false,
			loop: false,
			showSeekForward: true,
			showSeekBackward: true
		}).catch(setError);

Maybe this? androidx/media#776 (comment)

Seems possible from the docs with a custom command but I think that is outside of the scope of this plugin as it's unique to each app.

I can't get the seek to display I just have a single back icon which restarts the music.

I believe what you are seeing is the back/previous button. Since we don't use a playlist, back just goes to the beginning of the current song. There is no forward because there is no song after.

If you want to seek within the current song, I believe the default is to drag the progress bar. From what I see, buttons to seek would need to be custom. On iOS these come out of the box. I'd be open to adding these at some point.

Also what is the difference between friendlyTitle and artistName?

friendlyTitle is the song title. Poor naming I know 😄 but originally it was the only text parameter. I'll probably rename it in the next major release.

My long-term goal is to re-write the plugin separating out primary audio and background audio and implement with a playlist.

Cool that makes sense, I'll give it ago - I'll create a pull request if I make any updates.

One last question as I noticed on both apps I shared - when you put them into the background the there is a small ticker showing the audio playing top left - is it possible to add this on android?

And maybe a possible future feature to be able to set background colour of the notification panel - if image doesn't load or there is no image.

Thanks

What phone are you on? I use a Pixel and have never seen any app do that.

From my understanding the color is based on the app icon. See androidx/media#1795 (comment).

If the song doesn't have an image, then use a local default. Not sure about if the song has an image and it doesn't load.

I'm on Samsung S24 Android 15.

• also noticed on the other apps they have deep link support, so when you click on the notification it pops the app back up and take you to the song/info page I thought was a good option.

That will be great to have a minimum set of control buttons on Android notification, just:

• next / prev track buttons that will call changeAudioSource() and changeMetadata() methods
