Facebook doesn’t want you to ever leave its apps, not even to switch what song you’re listening to. So it’s began letting its Android beta testers control Spotify, Google Play Music, Pandora, Rdio from a notification at the top of cover feed. If popular, it could roll out to all Facebook For Android users, keep users on Facebook more consistently, and get them to share their music listening habits more frequently.
Beta testers will see a double-tall notifications on Cover Feed that shows some album artwork plus the artist and song they’re listening to. They can tap that notification to reveal buttons to pause the music, or skip to the next or previous song.
Facebook opened its Android beta testers program in late June to let hardcore users volunteer as guinea pigs for potential Facebook features. Facebook’s goal is see which features are popular enough to warrant a spot in their main apps and squash any bugs before rolling out features to its hundreds of millions of mobile users.
