Research direction

Start by finding the Android Chrome watcher code and reproducing the reported behavior with audible and incognito Chrome tabs. Compare the recorded tab data against the desktop Chrome watcher behavior mentioned in the issue. Done means audible tabs and incognito tabs record those attributes as true, while ordinary tabs remain unchanged.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I apologize if this issue is already known in testing. For the sake of clarification, at least, I will post it.

Neither the audible attribute nor the incognito attribute will be set to "true". Unlike the desktop Chrome watcher (or, at least the version I am using, as I have not downloaded the latest version), incognito tabs are indeed still recorded with url and other values just like ordinary tabs. Yet, still no incognito value is set to true in those cases.
