The DefaultMediaNotificationProvider caches the last loaded artwork bitmap so that the bitmap isn't loaded again when the notification is updated, e.g., the player is transiting from playing to paused. However, loading bitmap requests for bitmaps that are already being loaded are not suppressed. For example, if the notification is updated while the artwork is still downloading, the same artwork might be downloaded multiple times. This change suppresses a bitmap load request if the same artwork is still being loaded, to avoid additional artwork downloads. #minor-release PiperOrigin-RevId: 462572221
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.
