Reproduction steps

We extended our playback service by your MediaSessionService, and according to the crash stats in Crashlytics, the device states were 100% in the background, we actually instantiate the media controller right after the user starts to playback, but I'm not sure what's going on under the hood.

Expected result

Since we don't have control over starting the service as foreground, I'm wondering does it make sense to catch the exception on the library side, at least to avoid crashing in this case?

Actual result

Getting the crash below
