Problem Statement

Bringing live update notifications for media apps on android 17 (how samsung does it)
I miss this feature from my samsung phone and I think it would be nice to bring to more basic ROMs like google and motorola

Proposed Solution

Implement live update notiifcations for supported media apps, similar to how samsung does it.

Alternatives Considered

Google has mentioned that they would not be bringing something like this natively so it probably wont ever come to stock android.
