Music controls for Cordova applications. Display a 'media' notification with play/pause, previous, next buttons, allowing the user to control the play. Handles headset events (plug, unplug, headset button).

This plugin is forked from the original which is no longer maintained but which can be found at:
https://github.com/homerours/cordova-music-controls-plugin

This plugin is renamed as cordova-plugin-music-controls2 for easy differentiation and to allow for publishing
updates to npm to make life easier for everyone.
