christosts b94ca4f2ad Only COMMAND_PLAY starts the service in the foreground
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.
