In API 19 Android added the RemoteController classes to it's API for 
allowing apps to control media playback. Oddly however is this: 
"Registration requires the RemoteController.OnClientUpdateListener 
<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/RemoteController.OnClientUpdateListener.html>
 
listener to be one of the enabled notification listeners (see 
NotificationListenerService 
<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html>
)."
Why does RemoteController have this requirements and/ or why is the 
MEDIA_MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL permission declared with a danger level of 
systemOrSingature? Perhaps I am missing something, but is a malicious 
music-control app really a problem enough to warrant the inconvenience and 
more importantly the confusion most users will experience seeing "This 
music widget needs to monitor notifications" type alerts?
