The icon is missing from the top of the screen in the notification area on a galaxy S8 that means I have to open the app to pause, go to next track etc

Until yesterday, swiping down from the top of the screen would show a mini Sonos with the album cover, pause, next track

Running One UI version 1.0, Android version 9

In Sonos settings, all the following are ON: Show notifications, Show lock screen controls, Allow vol on home screen, show app shortcuts.

How do I get it back?
First of all, the notification doesn't appear if the currently selected room has no music source.



If the notification is still missing, even when the current room is playing music, try force-quitting the app entirely and restarting it.



You haven't perchance disabled notifications from the Sonos app in Android itself?
I deleted the app, and then re-installed it, and the functionality returned. All settings seemed to be the same...
Since the controller is actually a remote control that connects to the firmware/software on the speakers, that makes sense.
