# Feature description: When a track is actively being played, opening the app via widget and notification leads to the Now Playing Screen ### Problem solved: When I’m multitasking and playing music and enter the app via the widget or notification (as I most often do) I end up on the home page or queue which is usually never where I want to be at the time, thus requiring more time for a swipe or button press to get to the now playing screen. ### Brought benefits: Less time fidgeting around. Thanks! ---

It should already be the case (Except the now playing queue, not sure I’ll handle that or even can properly) ---

I understand with the now playing queue since it’s a fragment of the now playing screen. It’s certainly not the case if from the NP screen you: 1. hit the hardware back button (to the Symfonium home screen) 2. hit home (to phone launcher) 3. hit the widget or notification ---

Hum the intent is not logged from where did you launch? ---

Nova Launcher via the resizeable widget. The same thing happens with the notification, too. ---

Ok mixed up the intent immutability. Will be fixed in next release. (Opening, won’t close the queue)
