Filip Maj commented on CB-12714:
--------------------------------

I did a bit of testing with the demo code you shared, [~shazron], to see about background audio support on Android.

First, the AmplitudeJS demo site works fine and plays in the background just great on Chrome for Android 59 on a Google Pixel running Android 7.1.0 and 7.1.2 (tested on both).

I also then tweaked the demo code and put it into a cordova-compatible form. It's available on my repo here: https://github.com/filmaj/cordova-amplitudejs

This cordova app form of the amplitudejs demo works great on the browser platform (as expected) as well background audio worked great on Android 7.1.0 and 7.1.2 (Google Pixel once more) using cordova-android 6.2.2 - opened the app up, hit the play button, then hit the home button, and things continued to play as expected.

I think that makes this pretty promising!

To [~dellagustin@gmail.com]'s point, worth noting that if you run this in Chrome for Android and run in the background, you _will_ get a "sticky" notification in the notification bar showing you that something is playing (and giving you the control to pause what's currently playing). _However_, in the cordova-android-wrapped version of the app, this notification was not there. FYI.

I will do a bit more testing on emulators with earlier versions of Android to see where support for built-in JS {{Audio}} object (which is what AmplitudeJS uses) starts to fall apart.
