It's not enabled by default, but the option is there:
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer gnome-tweak-tool
Then open Gnome Tweak Tool > Extensions and enable it.

Title:
Sound app controls are gone from top bar menus
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
In 17.04, when Rhythmbox was running, I was able to launch Rhyhmbox,
play/pause, fast forward / reverse, etc., from the top bar menus, and
the menus also showed the current playing song. I.e., there was
essentially a mini-player in the top-bar menu.
It's gone in 17.10. When I launch rhythmbox and then close the
rhythmbox window, music keeps playing like in 17.04, but there's no
way for me to control it or to easily open the main rhythmbox window.
