Receiving notification causes playback to start

If I get a notification on my Android phone while the Roku is on, it causes playback to start. The remote app does not have to be open for this to happen.

      Thanks for the reply, Carly!

      There's no error. It happens on any channel where the current focus is on something playable, either in paused playback or sitting on a card for a video that hasn't been started yet. I've noticed this with Netflix and Apple TV, and maybe others.
