Hi, is there a way that when we are connected to a bluetooth device, music through speakers, to have the notification sounds to play through the phone so it doesn't interrupt the music? On the galaxy S8/9 there is an option for this called Separate App Sounds: http://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-s8-what-is-the-separate-app-sound-feature/
EDIT: I've read and it seems it's a new option that's made available due to bluetooth version 5.0, but so far only implemented by samsung. is there an alternative for general android? It
doesn't seem limited to only bluetooth 5.0 or samsung because right now you can stream music through bluetooth speakers while also taking a call on the phone's device.
I'm on carbon rom cr-6.1 (orea 8.1 build). Thanks.

This functionality has to do solely with my car, the Mazda3(2912). Now, I've tried a few devices and get different results. They all connect to the car, and I can hear audio from music, and phone calls. I'm not too crazy about the quality, that's not my prior concern.
The issue I am having, is the readout on my car's display unit. If it works, I can search through my device's music and select specific songs or playlist, and it will also read out what is playing. If it doesn't work, it will just show "BT Audio Streaming", and I can't search through my music or anything.
Devices Tested:
Nexus One: Works!
Samsung Galaxy SII(Sprint): Works!
Samsung Galaxy SIII(T-Mobile): Works!
iPhone 4S(Verizon): Doesn't Work..
LG Nexus 4: Doesn't work..
I find it odd, that the N4 is not working properly. It's the same music library on all the devices! I've tried multiple music players, including a few paid-for apps. All with the same end result. Is there a workaround for this? Is there something wrong with my bluetooth module(or whatever)? I understand this car model seems to be picky when it comes to bluetooth, and one of the biggest reasons I came back to Android was because the iPhone just did not cooperate with the Mazda3. Like I stated before, the audio works, and it's fine, but I can't access it or see whats playing on my car's display unit.
Hi,
I am a happy switchover to Nexus 4 from my iPhone, only thing I am starting to miss are some integration bits with my car audio system.
I am currently connecting the phone via bluetooth and it is working well, I can stream music and use built-in car dialler, however, I do not see what is currently playing on the car dash.
When I had the same setup using iPhone, I could see the currently playing song information. I can still skip to the next song using car's steering wheel buttons but I only see "Bluetooth audio" on the display.
I am using the default Google Play app to play music - have also tried with dogcatcher but no avail. On the iPhone various app worked - Music, Podcasts..
Second issue I have - is it possible to "force" phone calls to background when connected to bluetooth headset? I would quite prefer the satnav to stay on instead of seeing the current caller's information - as I already see that on my dash.
Thanks!

The first problem is caused by you and other people buying iPhone. You have contributed to pushing 3rd party manufacturers into supporting proprietary apple formats and communication protocols.
There is a perfectly fine Bluetooth protocol for track display, but your car stereo doesn't suport that, only the proprietary Apple one.
Hopefully you are now aware of the evil lock-in tactics that Apple have been engaging in, and next time you will check the product specifications to see see if your purchase is going to lock you in in any way.
Volkswagen and their bluetooth devices work fine with Android. It's Android that lacks a proper protocol to push that info to the radio. I know this because I worked with VW for months on troubleshooting the issue. Eventually, I obtained a stock galaxy S3 and it displays info just fine. With a custom 4.2.1/4.2.2 rom, it does not, just displays "BT-Audio".
CM is adding in bt tag support, but it currently doesn't work with play music, but is noted to work with pandora.
OP - your second issue is not possible. The radio automatically flips to the most recent info it has to display to you. You can manually toggle it back IIRC, as I can on mine.
I have the same issue:
See thread which explains a lot and could solve your issue:

We need to get AVRPC in our devices then it would work.
I drive an A5 SB with no go : ( to bad
yea the bluetooth works on my ford focus, but doesnt show the info of what track is playing.
Hi everyone,
I'm in need for some serious help here and I can't express enough how grateful I will be to whoever helps me out here.
The phone I'm using is a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F.
I used to be on 4.4.2 Stock ROM and I flashed XtreStoLite INTL 2.2 ROM (Android 5.0) and now my car Bluetooth connects to my phone but only shows "Call audio - Use for phone audio" Bluetooth profile and not "Media audio - Use for media audio" Bluetooth profile as it used to when I was on 4.4.2.
This means I take calls on Bluetooth and everything regarding calling works well (I can even download Mono Bluetooth Router and streamed mono music through that) but I can't stream music/sound (for example, GPS directions) from my phone to the Bluetooth in my car (A2DP style, you know, the regular).
It is important to note that on a different Bluetooth Speaker I have (NudeAudio), everything works well and as expected and both profiles are visible which is all the more confusing.
I searched on Google and came across these two interesting threads:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/pioR9Zo-mUc <-- This is exactly my problem
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79488
It's as though they've revamped the way the Bluetooth profiles are read so my phone only recognizes the Phone Audio channel.
This is one of the features I use most with my phone and if anyone knows of any solution to this I would be so incredibly thankful!
If it's not working with a custom ROM, chances are it's a problem with that ROM
Flash stock and test

Thank you for the input.
Considering that the ROM I used is very close to the stock ROM and I have had no other issues - I would love it if there was some way to handle this issue specifically.
If anyone knows of some tools or something that could help me with troubleshooting this Bluetooth profile issue - that'd be great.
On the S8+ I had this feature which when activated would enable my QC35 headphones to control the phone volume. The option was accessed via the 3 dots menu in Bluetooth settings. The Note FE doesn't seem to have this feature, a Google search suggests it is a stock Android feature since marshmallow release. Any one know if there is a way to get it on the FE?
In stock there's a feature called music share, you can connect the tablet to Bluetooth speakers(including headphones) and a device with the same feature can connect to the speaker VIA the tablet, effectivity allowing multipoint on speakers that don't support it, you can play music on one device or the other without disconnecting anything.
What can we do to enable this feature on non Samsung devices?
Thanks in advance.
