This change makes all notification actions start MediaSessionService in the background except COMMAND_PLAY which starts the service in the foreground. This is to avoid ANRs that are raised if we don't call MediaSessionService.startForeground() within 5 seconds since the service was started in the foreground. We only call MediaSessionService.startForeground() when Player.getPlayWhenReady() returns true, and only COMMAND_PLAY sets playWhenReady to true.

Session module
This module provides media session functionality through which media information and controls can be exposed to the Android platform, as well as to other processes and applications.
Getting the module
The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:
implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-session:1.X.X'
where 1.X.X
is the version, which must match the version of the other media
modules being used.
Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
