Hello all;

I've been having an issue the past few weeks wherein the Spotify app icon does not appear either in the task bar to the left of the signal strength, et all, and also fails to appear on the lock screen. When this happens, the music can still be heard, and tapping on the Spotify icon on the home page will open the app normally and allow me to pause, skip, etc.

Naturally, this is ridiculous, since the app is supposed to have the ability to be controlled through the lock screen, and it's a tremendous pain in the **bleep** to have to unlock and navigate to the app just to pause.

The other thing about this issue is it is intermittent. About 40% of the time, the app responds to my Bluetooth headset and appears on the lock screen. But the remaining time, I have to open the app itself in order to control the music.

I've tried checking the notification settings in the Android settings, and Spotify has all the permissions it needs in order to appear where it should.

I am running Android 6.0.1, and uninstalled/reinstalled the Spotify app just yesterday. Any advice would be appreciated.
