Notifications in Lollipop

Two questions here (M7 GPE on official Lollipop build):

1) When using apps such as SoundCloud and TuneIn Radio, they display a notification in the tray of the song they are playing along with controls to stop, skip, etc. What I've noticed is that after stopping music from playing, the notifications won't go away. For SoundCloud, they'll go away and then pop right back up. For TuneIn Radio, I can't get they to go away at all. I've tried stopping the music from the notification drawer and then swiping, which doesn't work. I "close" the app by swiping it from "recents" - for SoundCloud, the notification goes away and then often comes back (if I go through this process 4-5 times it'll go away for good) while nothing happens with TuneIn.

2) I've got notification security set to "priority" for the lock screen. Some of my music apps show controls on the lock screen, while others don't. How can I go about personalizing which apps show content on the lock screen (i.e. music controls) and which ones don't? Or, am I at the mercy of what Google deems should or shouldn't be hidden?
