Roku starts playing after being paused if I receive any phone notification

I'm using the Roku app on my Samsung s23. When I pause a show, if I receive a notification on the phone, the show starts playing again. It happens consistently. I see others have had the same issue with samsung phones. Has there been a resolution?

Re: Roku starts playing after being paused if I receive any phone notification

Hi, reinstalling the app did not work. I narrowed it down to when I am connected to my bluetooth headphones. Once paused from my phone Roku app, if I voice to text or if I receive a notification on my phone, the TV starts playing again. I have 3 TVs with the same issue. 

Samsung s23 Ultra

Version: 10.3.0.3595968

I have the opposite problem… I want to know how to make my Roku pause when I get an incoming call on my iPhone.
