My Question or Issue

 I will encounter some kind of bug that will pop up when the app goes inactive for a while. 

I'll start the app, listen to something for a while, and pause playback. The player controls in my notification bar disappear (not sure if I'm always swiping them away or if they can also time out from inactivity), and when I pull the app back up after a while, playback will often automatically resume but won't trigger the notification bar controls to reappear and if I'm using bluetooth in my vehicles, the song display will stay static to whatever it started playing first when I go to change songs. 

Also, sometimes it seems like Android doesn't realize that music is playing because I'll go to record a Whatsapp voice message and playback won't automatically pause. Because there's no controls in my notification bar, I'm forced to find the app in my recently used apps list and manually pause it from there. 

I do find that if I close the app through the recently used app list and re-launch it, the notification bar comes back just fine and the song display tends to work fine in bluetooth equipped vehicles. 

I have a friend with another galaxy-series phone (not sure the exact model offhand) who seems to be experiencing similar issues and it seems that others are running into a similar glitch as well. ( https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Spotify-not-working-correctly-on-my-samsung/td-p/4545561 )

It seemed to work just fine on my old Note 5, but since I upgraded to the 8 approximately 2 months ago, it's been kind of funky.
