Android 7 notification question - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Had a quick question about the android 7 update as my phone carrier has still not pushed it yet. Does 7 remove the "feature" where notification sound plays through speakers when headphones are in?
Thanks

[Q] Bluetooth and Notifcation sounds

So I have a bluetooth stereo headset and loving it with my Transformer, about 9 of music play time without wires, just leaving it there while I move around working on things. The only issue is (pretty sure after the recent honeycomb update) right now when I'm using the bluetooth headset and I get a notification whether from my msn or email, the notification sound plays from the tablet and not the headphones, even though I have music playing. Before the update however, I did prefer it where I did get a notification, the music in the background lowers its sound volume to let me hear that I have a notification. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or is there a way to fix it or is it just a firmware problem (build number is 8.2.3.13 atm) ;o I tried playing with the settings but no luck.
If anyone can help ^^; please and thanks

[Q] S6 + Music + Headphones + Notifications = Not working properly?

Whenever I listed to Spotify using headphones or connecting it to Aux using headphones it pauses the music when a notification is received such as sms or whatsapp message. It plays the notification sound and then it continues the music again.
I am coming from HTC m8, and there under the same scenario it faded the music played the notification meanwhile and volume went back again.
This only occurs when headphones are plugged in. If a notification is received while playing through phone speakers it fades the sound the way it should do.
I am using Spotify as source.
I've read that some has disabled notification sounds completely while headphones are plugged in but that would make me miss any important texts/emails so the work-around is not appreciated in my case.
Another thing noted is that when headphones are used and a notification is played (such as sms received or whatsapp message) the phone plays the sound through it's internal speakers also, same time as my headphones are connected making the surrounding hear me receiving notifications all the time.
Is there any solution to the above two issues?
My Samsung S6 is rooted, and I am also running custom rom XtreStoLite 2.1 (5.1.1).

help; missing headset icon on notification bar

I've recently bought a galaxy s6. It is with 6.0.1 france official rom installed. Today i wanted to test the quality of the earphones and face this weird problem. When i plug in the headset, there is sound and it is working. But my phone seems like it doesn't recognize when i plug in the headset. So the headset icon is missing and there is no options about the applications you can control like youtube, google music etc. on the notification bar. Is there anybody who experienced such problem or any suggestions if i can fix this?

Bluetooth and notification sounds

I'm on the latest P beta but this has happened on all versions even O. Whenever I'm connected to a Bluetooth audio device, I get no notification sounds out of the phone. How do I fix this?
Bump
same problem but only since Android 9.0 Beta .
Cant believe only 2 of us has this problem.
Bump
How is no one annoyed with this
You are not the only one bothered by this....it's about to drive me bonkers. I am glad to see it isn't just my device. The way things are acting, it looks like notifications are tied to media volume. I hope this is a bug, and not the way things are going to be going forward. Not a bad deal if you keep your earbuds in all the time, but I, for one, wear mine draped around my neck until I'm ready to listen to media or make a call. I have posted on the google help pages too, with no response.
No sound notification at all when connected to Car Bluetooth. Not on device or Bluetooth speakers since upgrading to Android P
Pixel 2 XL
Same thing here on Pixel 2XL after Pie update. No notification sound in Plantronics Bluetooth headset. I have a custom notification sound file. At first I also had no notification sound on the phone speakers, but after I changed the notification sound back to a factory selection and then back to custom file I do now have the sound notification on the phone but still not over Bluetooth.
I'm having the same issue, has anyone figured out a fix for this.
shocking that Google cant sort out **** on their own flagship device. Android is fast becoming a tangled, complicated, gloopy mess.
Seriously nothing?
I have the same problem since upgrading to 9.0. Running on an original Pixel. I also have video playback issues where, if the app supports PIP (like YouTube) it will just automatically set the app to PIP on its own. If the app doesn't support PIP (Facebook, Chrome) and video is playing, it just goes to the home screen. It resumes when I reopen the app, but it's really annoying.
Same here, while connected to my Bluetooth headset all sound and notification goes to the headset. Definitely annoying, the only thing I could do was send Google feedback.
It seems I'm having the less common issue of the sound of the notifications just being flat out low volume when connected via bluetooth. LG headset. Pixel 2 XL. Same configuration since day 1 of phone release. After Pie update, when headset is paired, I often miss any notification sounds. Like they are set to 1% or something. Calls ring loud and fine. Music, video, podcast volume playback fine. I've adjusted all sound volumes to max paired and unpaired, developer options, forgot device and re-paired to no avail.
I ONLY get the notifications when setting the car audio to media (when streaming BBC radio, Google Music or PowerAmp)
This is a real problem for me, enough to switch phone as soon as I see a deal...
Will hop on.
Bluetooth is completely fcked in Android 9. It was working 100% in 7, then with 8 it killed connection to my car, and now with 9 I started to get bugs with headset as well. Every single day in the middle of the night my Bluetooth disconnects and YouTube starts to play at full volume through the speaker.....it's been crazy
That's on top of wifi issues. Pixel constantly crashes my router and automatic wifi turn on is broken in Android 9, was working fine in 8
No one?
???????
Seriously, this is incredibly annoying. I've been having this issue occasionally, but now I have it nearly permanently because I bought a Fitbit that uses BTLE to connect to my phone. If it's connected, I get no notifications at all. This is absurd. BT is so jacked up in Android 9 now, I'm almost tempted to---shudder---switch to an iPhone. This type of crap is incredibly frustrating.
