Session service prevents process from terminating if swiped away from recents while the audio is playing

OnTaskRemoved does get called, pasted your code directly into DemoPlaybackService, but it didn't fix the issue

Hi @marcbaechinger @nikushaa991 Any Update on issue!!!
Where Media Session Service still remain Even When the App is Terminated during Playback.

Thanks! I believe this is a duplicate of #805

You can verify if this is the same issue by checking whether onTaskRemoved is actually called or not. If it's a duplicate, the onTaskRemoved callback is not called which is the reason why playback continues.

The music playback ends correctly, or did I misunderstand? I'll check if onTaskRemoved gets called in several hours, although I believe it does get called

[marcbaechinger]

If you try and you see it is called. Can you try to instead of calling pauseAllPlayersAndStopSelf to release all sessions and then call stopSelf directly?

In the demo app with a single session that would be:

  override fun onTaskRemoved(rootIntent: Intent?) {
    mediaLibrarySession.release()
    stopSelf()
  }

The reason is if that would help, then you have a controller that is still bound to the service when onTaskRemoved is called. Releasing the session would release all Media3 controller as well that potentially are bound to the service.
