How to show PlayerNotificationManager useStopAction in media3 ,

Earlier we used to impalement the PlayerNotification and use useStopAction to show the stop button, how can we do the same in media3

I think you can to do a custom command for the stop action. The custom command is reflected on all API levels either by adding an action to the notification or by replicating the custom Media3 commands to a media1 custom action in the legacy session.

This comment of issue #38 explains with code samples how you can do custom commands.

@Symon265 The comment in issue #38 has sample code regarding custom commands.

If you are asking for general sample code or documentation, I'd look into the session demo app that implements a MediaLibraryService. The documentation currently published on android.developers.com can be found here. This includes a migration guide that helps understand what needs to be done when migrating from a MediaBrowserService.

I can understand if we need custom actions like add to favorite or other such functionality supported by custom actions, but
PlayerNotificationManager useStopAction was an inbuild functionality in exoplayer like this

Why should we use custom action for an inbuild functionality

On Android 13, the mini player that is created by System UI is based on the media session. This mini player does not support a stop button. If you want the mini player to show a stop button, then you need to do a custom command.

I'm closing this issue because it is answered as to use a custom layout with a custom stop SessionCommand. The Media3 library makes sure it lands either on the Notification or the mini player depending on the OS of the device and the targetSdkVersion of the app.

Please re-open as needed.
