Have you tried using the background mode plugin?
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/background-mode/

@alexhackney It doesn't work even with the background-mode plugin. Still stops when you press HOME, switch applications, and/or you put the device on standby.

import { StreamingMedia, StreamingAudioOptions } from '@ionic-native/streaming-media';
import { BackgroundMode } from '@ionic-native/background-mode';

[...]

let options: StreamingAudioOptions = {
   bgColor: '#008A99',
   bgImage: image,
   successCallback: () => { this.background.disable(); }
};
    
this.background.enable();
this.streamingMedia.playAudio(
  `${ EnvironmentProvider.PODCAST_AUDIO_ENDPOINT }${ id }/audio`,
  options
);

Works here.

@alexhackney Welp. Really doesn't work. I resorted to using HTML5 <audio> tags instead. Not the most "native" way to do it, but at least it works.
