New messages and notifications cause currently playing audio on the device to cut out

(#3505) Bug Confirmed mobile

Observed behaviour

Other media on the phone (e.g. a youtube video in the background or music) is interrupted. It's not paused, it keeps playing, but the audio is cut out for those two seconds while the fluxer notification appears. Note: This happens both when the app is open in the foreground when receiving a new message (without a dedicated notification), as well as when it's in the background with a proper notification appearing.

Reproduction steps

  1. Put on music, a youtube video, or some other kind of continuously playing audio on the phone
  2. Receive a new message or a notification
