Description

1. When I call `media.play()` manually from app - audio play works.
2. When I call `media.play()` from push notification (app is in background) - audio play works.
3. When I call `media.play()` from push notification (app is not in background and device is not locked) - audio play not works and I receive data in error callback `{"message":"","code":4}` (see it in Xcode device logs)
4. When I call `media.play()` from push notification (app is not in background and device is locked) - audio play not works and I receive data in error callback `{"message":"","code":4}` (see it in Xcode device logs)

I use real device iPad with ios 10.3.3

 

cordova-plugin-media 5.0.2 with KEEP_AVAUDIOSESSION_ALWAYS_ACTIVE = true

 

phonegap-plugin-push 2.2.2

 

cordova-plugin-background-mode from master (also try to enable background on push notification receive before start audio)

 

Is there any chance to make it work?
