Android 5 lock screen controls.

This is more just a post to ensure the devs are aware...

Currently, in Android L/5, notifications are displayed now instead of the lockscreen controls.

This means that lockscreen controls aren't displayed for the Spotify app on Android L.

The following changes should be made to their notification:

(From https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/81YUVaLAnd2)

1. Call setVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC) to mark your media notification as safe to reveal on the lockscreen, even when it is secured with a PIN/pattern/password. This is the bare minimum you should do.
2. Update your notification to use MediaStyle to use media features on L such as compact actions.
