I did a bit of testing with the demo code you shared, [~shazron], to see about
background audio support on Android.
First, the AmplitudeJS demo site works fine and plays in the background just
great on Chrome for Android 59 on a Google Pixel running Android 7.1.0 and
7.1.2 (tested on both).
I also then tweaked the demo code and put it into a cordova-compatible form.
It's available on my repo here: https://github.com/filmaj/cordova-amplitudejs
This cordova app form of the amplitudejs demo works great on the browser
platform (as expected) as well background audio worked great on Android 7.1.0
and 7.1.2 (Google Pixel once more) using cordova-android 6.2.2 - opened the app
up, hit the play button, then hit the home button, and things continued to play
as expected.
I think that makes this pretty promising!
To [[email protected]]'s point, worth noting that if you run this in
Chrome for Android and run in the background, you _will_ get a "sticky"
notification in the notification bar showing you that something is playing (and
giving you the control to pause what's currently playing). _However_, in the
cordova-android-wrapped version of the app, this notification was not there.
FYI.
I will do a bit more testing on emulators with earlier versions of Android to
see where support for built-in JS {{Audio}} object (which is what AmplitudeJS
uses) starts to fall apart.
EDIT: did a bit of testing on this across different Android versions (updated
the README in [my test app repo|https://github.com/filmaj/cordova-amplitudejs]
with details). Seems like playing audio via the <audio> tag / Audio API works
fine in both Browser and cordova app shell on Android all the way down to
Android 5. At Android 4.4, inside the cordova app, I see this error:
{noformat}
E/ ( 1143): Failed to open file
'/android_asset/www/FirstSnow-Emancipator.mp3'. (No such file or directory)
{noformat}
The file is most definitely there.
