Minimal reproduction project

Minimal reproduction project

audio_service/example/lib/example_playlist.dart

Steps to reproduce

Restart the phone(*) and monitor adb logcat for:

flutter : [IMPORTANT:flutter/shell/platform/android/android_context_vk_impeller.cc(62)] Using the Impeller rendering backend (Vulkan).
System.out: flutterEngine warmed up

I've actually only noticed it when restarting after an OS System update, and it resolves the next time the app is brought into the foreground.

Expected results

I would expect the OS to query audio_service once after restart (for the recent media via onGetRoot).

Actual results

There are repeated service starts.
