Was never an issue with SG3. Not sure if this is a software bug or a setup issue.
Have you checked the stock music player settings to see if there is an option to continue music when notifications arrive? This shouldn't really happen by default, sometimes muting the phone will allow music to continue as the notification sound doesn't interrupt the music is playing. I have the PowerAmp Music app, which doesn't have any issues with notification interruptions, might be worth checking out to see if that might stop this happening.
