Android Question Headset Media Button not working in Android 8

[woodpecker]

I managed to get the headset intents code from this thread to work on my Android 5 phone, now I have an Android 8 phone I don't get any events from the headset button, the app runs and shows starter service running on the screen but it never gets the media button actions.

The log doesn't show any errors, has something changed in Android 8 that would stop it working.

Try to play something when you start your app.

Thanks Erel, all I had to do was initialize a mediaplayer, start and stop it instantly and it works fine!

MediaPlayer1.Play
MediaPlayer1.Stop
