Playing nicely with media controls
summary
Android 11 replaces stacked media notifications with a dedicated media carousel that shows up to five recent media sessions and uses existing MediaSession APIs (since Lollipop) so no new SDK gating. Media resumption requires a MediaBrowserService and must return a recent root; UAMP proves a reliable implementation by using a Glide image cache and serialize metadata to SharedPreferences because naive network loads at boot fail. Seamless transfer uses MediaRouter AndroidX 1.2.0 RC02+, a media transfer receiver, and handles route reasons (stopped vs route changed).
