Feature Request

[Albert Vaca]

IMO we should implement both the old and the new APIs, because we don't
want to support only Android 5 devices. Nobody is working on this branch so
feel free to do the changes that you want. The issues that we found and
that made me decide to roll back the changes from the master branch are:
- The media player notification was never dismissed from the panel, even if
you stop the music player. So once it appeared it would keep showing there
until you kill kdeconnect.
- Other apps didn't see kdeconnect as a media player, so they couldn't
interact with it. Specifically, I have a pebble watch and I thought I
should be able to control kdeconnect through it, but that didn't work.
- The media player notification lost the reference to the media player
control plugin when the plugin was reloaded. This was specially notable
because there was a bug were plugins would be reloaded every time you
launch the kdeconnect app, even though this bug is now fixed in the master
branch (you might want to merge this branch back into the noti-mediacontrol
branch for this).
