I've tried deleting Spotify and reinstalling it and this notification keeps reappearing in my tray after I've dimissed it. I can't get it to go away. I'm not even listening to Spotify right now! The app is closed. Why does this continue to appear there? 

 
***Edited to add that the following steps solved the problem for me:
 
1. Go to Settings on your phone (phone is on OS 13)
2. Select "Apps" 
3. Select the filter/sort icon next to the "Your apps" header above the list of app results 
4. Turn the "Show system apps" toggle to ON 
5. Select "OK" 
6. Scroll to "Media and devices" in the list of app results and select it 
7. Select "Notifications" 
8. Select "Nearby Devices" under "Allowed" 
9. Select "See all apps with this permission"
10. Locate and select the offending app (in my case, this was Spotify)
11. Select the "Deliver quietly" option for the app

I get this with my Bible app. Drives me nuts. I ended up wiping app data and that seems to fix it for a while. Until I play audio from within the app. Spotify is all audio so that would be crazy to wipe data each time. Even force closing the app, the notification would appear again on its own. 😡

Yes, wiping the app data is the only thing that fixes it for a while until I happen to listen to Spotify again. Then the notification comes back over and over. It is frustrating

Figured it out finally.

1. Go to App Notification Settings
2. Select All Apps
3. Search for Media and Devices
4. Change Alerts --> Deliver Quietly

Hope this helps you folks!

So far this seems to remove it at all times (even when I'm listening to Spotify). I would prefer to never see it rather than always see it. Thank you!
