I've disassembled AA and I am poking through the code. Can someone please enlighten me on how AA can install as a normal app and then manage to intercept the system audio?
Google play services does that, most of the auto functions are inside play services.

Are these services documented somewhere? Can we call them?

Guys,
Do you guys receive this same message as a notification when running Google Play Music?
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Requested by Google Play Music."
I do have the most updated Google play services installed and only Google Play Music throws this notification. Nothing stops, it runs fine but the message is annoying popping up every time in the notification tray. I know we don't have a supported device by Google but there might be a fix one of you has come across?
Thanks.
no i use most of google services and never got this message

I don't get the message with any Google app only "Play Music", do you get a message with Play Music?
Can you post the Google Services app version or a screenshot of it?
i downloaded it from play store
I have this problem too and have no idea what causes it.
I'm really hoping to find a fix.
I'm subscribed to Google play Music all access which is supposed to allow me to play youtube videos in the background and also allow me to save some videos to offline. I had this feature and now it's not working. The background and offline option is gone in youtube settings.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and made sure i'm logging in with the correct account. I checked my N7 and the same thing is happening there to. Anyone else experience this?

did you pay for all access or did you use the 6 month trial?

I pay for it but I'm wondering if this might have anything to do with it.

I deleted the google plus profile that was associated with it a couple of days ago. My music works fine, it's just the youtube music key portion that is not working.
Hi all,
I've made a simple app that decreases number of clicks required to play songs via Google Play Music (which is important for safety when you drive).
When you click this app's icon it launches Google Play Music and immediately starts playing. The behaviour is similar to FM radio behaviour on most head units.
You are welcome to download and use it (it's free): Music Start and Play (Google Play Store)
Nice! I haven't received my head unit yet but I'll definitely install this once I get it. Thank you!
Do you plan on doing this for any other music apps?

I've made a similar app for PowerAmp (it is not published in Play Store). But I don't know if anyone need it.

This is precisely my requirement! I request you to share if possible.
Thanks.

Actually this can be done via the PowerAmp app itself. Therefore I cancelled the app release.
Go to PowerAmp settings -> Audio -> Audio focus -> Resume on start.
Done

Thanks a lot! I did not know it was right under the hood, though hidden in an unsuspecting manner.
I picked up a Fire 10 HD 2017 version, and followed guides here to add Google Play (and other 3 associated APK files), which works great. - I was able to installed several Google apps and other apps from the Google Play store.
However, I have hit a roadblock with YouTube TV (not regular YouTube) - Google's streaming TV service. They have a free trial if anyone wants to test this out, but I get an error screen on launch that says "We can't determine your device's location" - and I can't get it to load. All the settings for Location-Based Services are toggled on (overall and specific to the app, and all apps). I have tried with option for Google Play as a Device Administrator both checked and unchecked. Google Maps detects my location and works fine. I am not running any VPN or similar apps, so this is purely GPS based. Tried to use a fake GPS location app (and allow that in developer settings) but that didn't help.
From what I have read, others have had GPS problems - some sort of conflict between the Amazon GPS and the Google GPS expectations. Something about "AGPS" being limited in some ways on the Fire 10 HD.
Has anyone seen this issue and found a workaround or solution? Could be for a related app maybe. I was also unable to get streams to play in the Chrome browser, which would be a fine workaround, so I need something to work here. One of the main purposes of a tablet for me will be YouTube TV. Thanks - appreciate any help.
I'm having the same issue with the Hulu app and the Maps app that comes with the Fire HD 10. I installed Google Play Store and Google Maps (using the APKs like you). Google Maps didn't work at first, however after DISabling the tablet's location services and trying Google Maps again, I got a prompt for enabling current location for Google to which I clicked on yes. Now Google Maps is working!! Sadly, the generic Maps app and Hulu are still not working. Have you had any more luck?
P.S. after speaking with an Amazon tier 2 support rep, they said they are going to get in touch with a developer and get Hulu working. I'll believe it when I see it!
Is it possible to create an app or something for a custom rom which can display on a cars Android auto head unit without depending on google services?
I guess no. There are a lot of permissions and functions provided through Google Play Services (like exact GPS position...).
You can easily create an app for music control video playback and even map navigation without the need for Google Play Services.
The main problem is, developers should need to reverse-engineer the Android Auto communication protocol between the phone and the headunit, and then build the video and audio streaming on top of that. This is hard and slow effort, with a constant risk of it being sued to oblivion by Google.
In this case you're better using an Android-based headunit and a headunit launcher with map support, something like AutoMate.
