Streaming Bluetooth Information

Hey everyone, not sure if anyone has already discovered this, but today I discovered a way for Android phones to show information such as track title, album, and artist on the navigation screen (for cars with bluetooth streaming). I know it's possible with built-in music players, but when I used programs like Pandora or Spotify, it would always show up with the artist, album, and track information as "unknown." However, after installing the botifier program from the Google Play Store and configuring it, I was able to see all of that information on the screen! I apologize if someone has already figured this out, but this was always a pet peeve of mine and I thought it might help someone else!

Edit: Forgot to mention this is only compatible with Android 4.3 and higher.

Says it not compatible with my htc evo. Might have to side load it.

Code:
Uses new Notificationlistener service don't forget to enable this under settings -> security
Note: This api is only available since Android 4.3 hence Botifier is only compatible with 4.3
