I have an app that launches a foreground service to play some media and I want to be able to control it with media buttons on smart watches/headphones and control it from a mediastyle notification etc.
I cannot get the media buttons to work consistently though. In the logs I can see they are often sent to other apps even though I started my MediaSession and playback last.
But I cannot get it to work despite having a media session where I setActive(true) and having the media callback defined?
Manifest:
<service
android:name=".services.MediaControllerService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON"/>
</intent-filter>
</service>

I eventually discovered why this wasn't working for me. It seems like there is a bug with Android Oreo that media focus cannot be properly obtained despite requesting for focus and playing audio using the TTS engine.
The workaround was to play a silent wav file from the system mediaplayer before commencing the TTS
