Is it possible you are calling MusicControl.handleAudioInterruptions(true);? This call only works on ios and causes a crash in android.

We are not using that method, thanks for the tip though!

Maybe you can share your setup?

The README says:

Make sure when you call MusicControl.resetNowPlaying() and MusicControl.stopControl() you must have controls enabled otherwise it will create issues

So doing what you describe in the title isn't exactly recommended. But i personally have not had issues with this so far.

Interesting, I never noticed that. I'm going to go ahead and close this because I don't have time to dig in further at the moment & because this is called out in the readme.
