Research direction

Look for the service or activity that manages recording state and already handles pause/resume. Add a MediaSession to capture Bluetooth media button events, then route the play/pause intent to the existing pause and resume actions. Verify the behavior with a Bluetooth headset or media button simulator.

Feature description

An attached Bluetooth headset can have media controls, like "skip to next track" or "play/pause". Currently the app ignores the Bluetooth media buttons.
Feature request: the app should grab the media buttons and pause or continue recording when "play/pause" on Bluetooth is pressed.

Why do you want this feature?

I want to be able to pause and then continue recording directly from the Bluetooth headset, without the need to unlock the phone and press the pause button in the app.
