Installation

cordova plugin add https://github.com/homerours/cordova-music-controls-plugin

Methods

• Create the media controls:

MusicControls.create({
    track       : 'Time is Running Out',		// optional, default : ''
	artist      : 'Muse',						// optional, default : ''
    cover       : 'albums/absolution.jpg',		// optional, default : nothing
    isPlaying   : true,							// optional, default : true
	dismissable : true,							// optional, default : false

	// hide previous/next/close buttons:
	hasPrev   : false,		// show previous button, optional, default: true
	hasNext   : false,		// show next button, optional, default: true
	hasClose  : true,		// show close button, optional, default: false

	// Android only, optional
	// text displayed in the status bar when the notification (and the ticker) are updated
	ticker	  : 'Now playing "Time is Running Out"'
}, onSuccess, onError);

• Destroy the media controller:

MusicControls.destroy(onSuccess, onError);

• Subscribe events to the media controller:

function events(action) {
	switch(action) {
		case 'music-controls-next':
			// Do something
			break;
		case 'music-controls-previous':
			// Do something
			break;
		case 'music-controls-pause':
			// Do something
			break;
		case 'music-controls-play':
			// Do something
			break;
		case 'music-controls-destroy':
			// Do something
			break;

		// Headset events (Android only)
		case 'music-controls-media-button' :
			// Do something
			break;
		case 'music-controls-headset-unplugged':
			// Do something
			break;
		case 'music-controls-headset-plugged':
			// Do something
			break;
		default:
			break;
	}
}

// Register callback
MusicControls.subscribe(events);

// Start listening for events
// The plugin will run the events function each time an event is fired
MusicControls.listen();

• Toggle play/pause:

MusicControls.updateIsPlaying(true); // toggle the play/pause notification button
