Get cover art from Google Play music

Question

I know how to get album art when google play music is playing a local file.

Is there a way to get the cover when the music played is not from a device file ?

Have you found a solution to this? Also could you share your way of fetching cover art for local files? Thanks! — joe1806772, Mar 30 '16 at 08:51

I have found a way to get the cover art: I'm listening to google play notifications via Android's NotificationListenerService and get the large icon:

Bitmap coverbitmap = ((Bitmap) extras.getParcelable(Notification.EXTRA_LARGE_ICON));

This (using the "extras" bundle of notifications) requires API Level 19.

What size is the image? Also it appears this api was deprecated. – Lime Sep 08 '17 at 05:27
