Lock screen audio player notification not appearing when target SDK is 33

Question

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.aa.aaaa"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 33
    versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
    versionName flutterVersionName
    multiDexEnabled true
}

When the target SDK is 33, I have a problem with player control notifications not working in lock screen , but when I set the target SDK to 31, the notifications work properly and appear on the lock screen.

I am using audio_service and just_audio for play audio in my application

This issue may be related to the changes in Android 11 and later versions, where there are stricter requirements for notifications to appear on the lock screen. You may need to adjust your notification settings to comply with these requirements.

Here are some suggestions that might help:

1. Request the necessary permissions: Make sure that your app has been granted the necessary permissions for displaying notifications on the lock screen. You can request these permissions by adding the following code to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY" />

1. Use a MediaStyle notification: Use a MediaStyle notification instead of a NotificationCompat.Builder. This will give your notification the proper format and appearance for a media player.

2. Set the notification priority to high: Make sure that the priority of your notification is set to high. This will ensure that your notification appears on the lock screen.

3. Use a foreground service: Use a foreground service to ensure that your audio playback continues even when the app is in the background. This will also give your notification the necessary permissions to appear on the lock screen.

4. Check the compatibility of the audio service and just_audio libraries: Make sure that the audio service and just_audio libraries are compatible with the target SDK version you are using. There may be some compatibility issues with newer versions of Android.

You may also want to check with the developers of the audio_service and just_audio libraries to see if they have any suggestions or updates that may address this issue.
