Cordova Music Controls Plugin 2

Music controls for Cordova applications. Display a 'media' notification with play/pause, previous, next buttons, allowing the user to control the play. Handles headset events (plug, unplug, headset button).

This plugin is forked from the original which is no longer maintained but which can be found at: https://github.com/homerours/cordova-music-controls-plugin

This plugin is renamed as cordova-plugin-music-controls2 for easy differentiation and to allow for publishing updates to npm to make life easier for everyone.

• Destroy the media controller:

  MusicControls.destroy();

• Subscribe events to the media controller:

  
  function events(action) {
  
  const message = JSON.parse(action).message;
  switch(message) {
      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;
      case 'music-controls-toggle-play-pause' :
          // Do something
          break;
      // Lockscreen seek controls (iOS only)
      case 'music-controls-seek-to':
          const seekToInSeconds = JSON.parse(action).position;
          MusicControls.updateElapsed({
              elapsed: seekToInSeconds,
              isPlaying: true
          });
          // Do something
          break;
  
      // Headset events (Android only)
      // All media button events are listed below
      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:
```javascript
MusicControls.updateIsPlaying(true); // toggle the play/pause notification button
MusicControls.updateDismissable(true);

• iOS Specific Events: Allows you to listen for iOS events fired from the scrubber in control center.

  elapsed: 208, // seconds
  isPlaying: true
  });
