Description

Pressing the "Pause/Play" button on my bluetooth adapter (Anker sound sync) will not resume playback if it has been disconnected for a while. If I use other apps like Pandora they will still respond to these presses even after a long time. Having this work would make it much easier to get music playing in my car, without having me be required to open the app and select an album again. My guess is that the broadcast listener is being deactivated when the notification disappears after X minutes. Having an option to make the app continue to respond to these events would thus be very appreciated. Thanks.
