Diane, I am glad to hear that you are having a fine day. I understand that the Android lock screen does not currently support pausing and resuming audio playback. I hope that this is something you will add to the list of things to include in a future Android OS update. Adding a broadcast event

Thank you for your quick response! I don't know if you keep a list of requested enhancements, but allowing an application to monitor the dpad button in order to pause audio playback would make it much easier and more convenient for listeners to quickly pause audio playback on their Android when
