Research direction

The report does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the disconnect when no playback is active, then trace the SDK transport and reconnection behavior; done means playback resumes without bringing the Spotify app to the foreground.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When nothing is played in our application the SDK gets disconnected automatically. When we try play again, we needs to reconnect transport between our app and Spotify. Because of this the Spotify app goes to foreground and playback starts.
Do you know what should be done to avoid this behaviour?
