Currently Elisa doesn't seem to use the MediaSession api in android, resulting in it not showing up as playing media in the notifications section, like any other music app does. Which means that bluetooth controls can't interact with Elisa. You have to open Elisa to pause etc. Elisa won't stop playing if you start playing other media https://developer.android.com/media/implement/surfaces/mobile
