I am currently working on a android tv app but cant figure out how to change the icon for the now playing card that appears when i navigate away from the app whilst playing a video.

My app is fully usable and navigatable on AndroidTV using the DPad. Well, it certainly is on MY AndroidTV, as well as AVD.

However I am not sure about a few things: Recommendations Android TV display content recommendations in the first row of the TV home screen Content recommendations appear as the first row of the TV home screen after the first use of the device For this we need to create a recommendation service and build recommendations in the android tv app. Does FireTV also show recommendations and requires a
