Get cover art from Google Play music

I know how to get album art when google play music is playing a local file.

Is there a way to get the cover when the music played is not from a device file ?

Solution

  • I have found a way to get the cover art: I'm listening to google play notifications via Android's NotificationListenerService and get the large icon:

    Bitmap coverbitmap = ((Bitmap) extras.getParcelable(Notification.EXTRA_LARGE_ICON));

    This (using the "extras" bundle of notifications) requires API Level 19.
