Mobile app sends notifications for track changes

The new mobile app sends notifications for each track change, as if the “Send Notifications” setting under “Desktop Integration” is on by default, which obviously doesn’t make sense, given this is the mobile app. The aforementioned likely is the issue, as I found the Linux Flatpak does indeed have it on by default, and if all the apps share the same/similar codebase, that would make sense.

The notification only appears for a second (my watch notifies me when it appears), so the above screenshot is from my notification history

Good spot, but it’s not that setting. That one is desktop only and never reaches Android.

It’s our own media notification. The channel was created at DEFAULT importance, and anything DEFAULT or above counts as an alert, so it gets pushed to your watch and peeks for a second even though the phone itself stays silent. Dropped it to LOW for the next release, which is what Media3 defaults to anyway. Media controls on the lock screen and in the pull-down are unaffected.
