# Notification Access on Android 13+
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Android 13, notification access is restricted for sideloaded apps. If you sideloaded
|
||||
the APK, you might need to perform some extra steps to enable notification access (which is required for the music widget and for notification badges):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Try to grant the notification access permission as you would normally do. If you sideloaded the APK, all the controls are disabled:
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="/img/notification-access-1.png" width="300"/>
|
||||
|
||||
2. Tap on the disabled toggle “Allow notification access”. This dialog will show up:
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="/img/notification-access-2.png" width="300"/>
|
||||
|
||||
3. Tap “OK” to close the dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Tap on the app icon. It leads to the app info screen.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="/img/notification-access-3.png" width="300"/>
|
||||
|
||||
5. Tap on the 3-dot-menu (<MoreVertRoundedIcon/>) in the top-right corner.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
This menu only shows up if you have tried to enable a restricted setting before. **Step 2 is crucial for this to work.**

||||

|
||||
|
||||
6. Tap on “Allow restricted settings”
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="/img/notification-access-4.png" width="300"/>
|
||||
|
||||
7. Go back to the previous screen. The controls are no longer disabled, and you can allow notification access.

Per default, only media sessions from "music apps" are shown in the music widget. An app qualifies as "music app" if it has an activity that has either the `android.intent.action.MUSIC_PLAYER` action or the `android.intent.action.MAIN` action and the `android.intent.category.APP_MUSIC` category. Some media apps don't declare these in their manifests so the launcher won't recognize them as music apps. You can disable this filter in Settings > Widgets > Music > Restrict to music apps. With this setting disabled, the music widget will show media sessions from all apps, including non-music apps like browsers, video player apps and video streaming apps.

## I can't grant notification access permission!
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to [notification access on Android 13+](/docs/user-guide/troubleshooting/notification-access)
|
||||
|
||||
## Why do I need to grant access to my notifications just to control some stupid media session?
|
||||
|
||||
That's a very good question. I don't know. Ask Google, why they make so [nonsensical decisions](https://www.reddit.com/r/mAndroidDev/comments/gn6ckb/man_im_so_happy_no_malicious_app_can_get_access/). The only way for third party apps to control media sessions is to read notifications and extract the media sessions from there. Sadly, the more privacy-friendly alternative is restricted to system apps only, ["due to privacy of media consumption"](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL). Yep, that makes sense. Thank you, Google.
