Why is the Google Play music bar not on my pull down menu anymore?

[Android Central Question]

I'm not a phone guy, and I bought this phone about 5 weeks ago. The bar that lets you change songs doesn't appear when I play music now so I have to open the app to change the song. How can I change that? Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Go to Settings>Apps, select Google Play Music, then Notifications, and make sure the Playback notification box is checked on.

Thanks B. Diddy! And thanks to the Android user, who asked the question. With a recent update, my audible and Google play music bar from the pull down menu went away. Turning the notifications back on for these apps was a simple fix that makes accessing the play/stop, back, and forward buttons so much easier from my Pixel 3. Much appreciated.
