I need a simple hardware/software button to pause music for a senior relative with an Android 11 phone. It is too much to expect her to double click/tap or swipe. I tried using Button Mapper to configure the Google Assistant button but it doesn't seem to support that button. I tried Button Remapper & Combination and it fails to override the system (Google Assistant still pops up). I tried QuickShortcutMaker and I can't find out any activity that corresponds to the Play/Pause action.
Any suggestions?

Thanks! Pause playback button Pro works, as well as the app "Key Mapper" which works for hardware buttons including the Google Assistant button. Unfortunately for me, my favorite app Simple Radio by Streema doesn't respond to the headphone play/pause button and thus such apps.

Are you the OP? If so, I can change the ownership of the initial post to you.

(EDIT: Received a PM from RATtest that they are the OP.)
