It seems like the audio focus request is no longer working on Android 15, preventing the app to pause the media playback.

Restrictions on requesting audio focus
Apps that target Android 15 (API level 35) must be the top app or running a foreground service in order to request audio focus. If an app attempts to request focus when it does not meet one of these requirements, the call returns AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_FAILED.

This might be an alternative to request audio focus:

dispatchMediaKeyEvent(KeyEvent(ACTION_DOWN, KEYCODE_MEDIA_PAUSE))
dispatchMediaKeyEvent(KeyEvent(ACTION_UP, KEYCODE_MEDIA_PAUSE))

Replace AudioFocusRequest with dispatchMediaKeyEvent

Android 15 no longer allows requesting focus without a foreground `Activity` (or media session token), even when the request is performed from a foreground `Service`.
