I am trying to get HARDWARE_HOOK button and volume change button in my service using MediaSession for Android 5.0+ . This has to work specially when screen is off/locked. The problem is that though I am able to receive HARDWARE_HOOK button event, the volume change is not detected. the onAdjustVolume method never gets called.
