[Issue]: MediaPlayer Missing Notification Controls On Android

[ambrozichj]

Describe the Issue in Detail

When using the Rock:MediaPlayer to play a video, the notification controls ( also called mini player ) don't appear on Android. Tested on latest and older versions of android. Tested on our production app (v5) and on Rock Core ( Orange and Blue App )

On IOS the notification controls show up and work perfectly. On android, the video will continue to play in the background if you switch out of the app, but the notification controls don't show up.

Here is the documentation for the android media controls:

The controls never appear in the notification shade.
