1.62.0

Improvements

• Dynamic broadcast buttons: addButton(..., action=..., dynamic=True) sends a package-scoped broadcast to a runtime BroadcastReceiver, so a button can act from a service without a manifest receiver or Java class.
• MediaNotification.setNowPlaying(title, artist) updates the live notification and lock-screen metadata in one call on a track change.
• Media notification module moved to android_notify.media. SoundLoader and MediaPermissionHandler stay under android_notify.media.music.
• Plain controllers that do not dispatch events can drive the notification with syncPlaybackState().
• Media artwork now falls back to the app icon when a track has no embedded cover art.
• Faster path and playback handling: removed the slow android.storage import from the notification path and optimized media position/length reads.

Changed

• Removed the run_on_ui_thread helper. Open activities from the UI thread directly; do not ask permissions from a background thread.
• Button PendingIntent request codes are unique per notification, so two notifications with the same button action no longer overwrite each other's extras.

Fixed

• Unknown media length no longer raises while the notification is being updated.
• Media metadata and artwork refresh on a track change without waiting for the next playback event.

Snippet

Dynamic Broadcast Receiver - Make your buttons take actions without opening App, Useful for Foreground Services.

from android.broadcast import BroadcastReceiver
from android_notify import Notification
from android_notify.config import get_package_name

package = get_package_name() # package.domain + "." + package.name

# Recieves Broadcast on Button Click
def on_broadcast(context, intent):
    action = intent.getAction()
    print(f"BroadcastReceiver: action={action}, extras={intent.getExtras()}")
    # BroadcastReceiver: action=org.test.myapp.ACTION_SKIP, extras=...)
    notification.updateMessage(action)


# Keep a reference, an unreferenced receiver can be collected and stop delivering.
receiver = BroadcastReceiver(on_broadcast, actions=[package + '.ACTION_STOP', package + '.ACTION_SKIP'])
receiver.start()

# Sends BroadCast on Button Click
notification = Notification(title="Broadcast test")
notification.addButton("Stop", action=package + ".ACTION_STOP", dynamic=True)
notification.addButton("Skip", action=package + ".ACTION_SKIP", dynamic=True)
notification.send()
