Description

Looks like the Bluetooth control events for pause, play, skip song etc are not firing on Android.

For the pause play events i'd suggest trying to request audio focus when the events are fired, and for the skip song (i.e if I double tab play pause on most headphones it triggers the next event on most app), it's likely this was never implemented in the original project.

I've done some experimentation around the above so let me know if you need pointing in the right direction 👍

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement Android MediaSession and handle AudioFocus for Bluetooth controls. Look into the existing Capacitor plugin code for media control event handling and ensure the Android native side properly registers for media button events and requests audio focus.
