Android 11 - Media controls

Android 11 updates how media controls are displayed, making use of the MediaSession and MediaRouter2 APIs to render controls and audio output information.

Media controls in Android 11 are located near the Quick Settings. Sessions from multiple apps are arranged in a swipeable carousel. The carousel lists sessions in this order:

• Streams playing locally on the phone
• Remote streams, such as those detected on external devices or cast sessions
• Previous resumable sessions, in the order they were last played

Does not introduce new APIs. Uses the previous API with services to show media controls on quicksettings.

Proposed Actions:

• Check if this is done and how is done in other OS.
• Does not look interesting, scope is just multimedia players
