player.stop() not working properly when called from background

[fakhrii]

I'm playing a notification sound in loop mode and trying to stop when the app is in the background. I'm using the package system_alert_window and inside its callback function i'm calling

player.stop();

but the player won't shut down.

It works perfectly when the app is active but not when it's in the background

flutter doctor -v

So you talking about android or ios? Can you provide a reproduction example. Sorry I don't have the time to setup an example or modify the example of audioplayers. Also try to use the issue template.

Also see #1038
