Feature Request

[Chandramouleshwar S]

Hi...I made some changes in feature/noti-mediacontrol branch regarding
aforementioned issues and submitted a patch. It would be great if someone
reviews it suggest improvements as its not reviewed yet. I see a small bug
in 'onConnectionLost' function and working on that now.
