MediaGlide is a floating media control widget that lets you control media playback instantly in any app that supports Android’s Media Session API. The floating media controller stays on top of your apps, so you can control media without interrupting your current activity.

MediaGlide is not a music player. It is a universal media controller that connects directly to Android media sessions and lets you control supported media apps.

Perfect for GPS navigation, multitasking, gaming, and browsing.

Use MediaGlide to control:

• Music streaming apps
• Podcast apps
• Video players
• Audiobook apps
• Local music players

Supported media controls include:

• Play and Pause
• Next and Previous track
• Volume control
• Mute audio
• Global media button commands

MediaGlide works with any Android app that properly supports the Android Media Session API.

About the Required Permissions

To function as a reliable floating widget, the app requires a few Android permissions. Here’s what they do:

1. Display Over Other Apps

This permission allows the widget to appear on top of any app you’re using.
Without it, Android does not allow floating elements to stay visible.

2. Foreground Service & Notifications

The app needs notification permission because Android requires a visible notification when running a foreground service.
A foreground service is necessary to keep the floating widget alive; without it, Android may close the widget automatically to save power or memory.
Showing this persistent notification allows the widget to remain active and reliable on all modern Android versions.

• This notification ensures stable performance
• No tracking or screen reading — the widget displays only its own content
• On newer Android versions, you can minimize or silence the notification if you prefer
