Spotify pauses when I receive a message through hangouts

Spotify pauses when I receive a message through hangouts

Spotify pauses for about 2 seconds whenever I receive a message from Google Hangouts. This all happens whenever I am actively using the app.  What noticed is that when I turn off notification completely and I receive a message, the music continues to play. If I have notifications on, then it pauses for about two seconds. I uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify and it is still doing the same thing. 

 

Is there something that I'm missing?

The same is true on the iphone, any notification that produces an audible alert wil interupt music.  I suspect turning off the audible alert will help or maybe try the do not disturb feature that will stop alerts while listening to music.

There's another thread on this somewhere and yes it is an annoyance. I believe that the programmers could have spotify duck (reduce volume) rather than pause. Maybe in a future release............
