Is the "Media-style notification" broken for anyone else? Since about a week ago I now
I believe it's because they changed the number of action items in the notification bar. Android Media-style (in the support library) allows you to put up to 3 action items on the notification. If you put more than 3, Media-style fails and it reverts to ordinary notifications. Spotify recently switched from 3 action items (rewind, play/pause, fast-forward) to 4 action items (add to My Music, rewind, play/pause, fast-forward), so I think this is what caused the problem.
I'm on Android version 6.5.0.1816, Android v6.0.1

Hi. I still get the small album cover in the notification and on the lockscreen so that can't be it. I think they removed the 'x' to close to be able to add the back button for those folk who couldn't fiind it in the expanded notification.
For reference, here's what my notification looks like now:
It used to look more like this (image taken from internet):
Do you still get the large album on the left (as in the second photo)?
Ah no, it's shrunk and the notifications are no longer expandable 😞
Hi! I'm using the Huawei P9 and this was how the notification looked in the version 6.1.0.1088 armV7.
Version 6.1.0.1088

And after I updated, it looks like this
Version 6.9.0.1212
According to Spotify (I talked with them through twitter) the notification will be shown in different ways according to the device, and they keep telling me that this is the way the bar should be shown, but I think is an awful desing.
I decided don't update the app until they change this design to something better
