    flutter:
      sdk: flutter
    audioplayer:

• Instantiate an AudioPlayer instance

//...
/// The useAndroidMediaControlNotifications argument sets whether to show the notification or hide it completely
/// The onlyShowNotificationWhenPlaying argument sets whether to show the notification or hide it based on the current state pf play : show only if playing
AudioPlayer audioPlugin = new AudioPlayer({bool useAndroidMediaControlNotifications=false, bool onlyShowNotificationWhenPlaying=false});
//...

Player Controls

/// Will play the item given in url section, if metaData is passed it will also show on the native
/// android media controls 
audioPlayer.play(url, {title, author, albumArt, album});

/// Will pause the audio Play
audioPlayer.pause();

/// Will stop the audio Play
await audioPlayer.stop();

/// Will set the metadata of the song if given, without playing the media passed in the url
audioPlayer.setItem({String title,String author,String albumArt,String album, String uri})

/// Will set whether media notification is shown or not, even if you call showNotification manually
/// The arguments are the same as the Constructor arguments
Future<void> useNotificationMediaControls(bool value, bool onlyShowWhenPlaying);

/// Will show the media Controls, will update it if it is shown already
Future<void> showNotificationMediaControls();

<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
