If you was playing Spotify on something else then your phone triggers the notification, which i am sure is a bug.Just for you... No apps running (1st Pic). Dropdown you see player (2nd). Me in the act of swiping it away instead of long press and Remove (3rd Pic). Rebooted phone and pull dropdown... Back to second Pic... Player is there and no apps opened yet or running in background.

This problem started with Android 11 and there was an easy way to eliminate that persistent playback notification for good. I remember having it with my OnePlus 7 but I can't find anything similar with my Samsung running 12. Scratching my head.Nope. Only have it installed on my iPhone and just checked not running. And I reset my Spotify password a month ago saying to log out any devices during the reset so I know only those two devices are using my account.
Yeah Mr Bojangles1 mentioned on a custom ROMI don't have that option either... by searching media, media player or quick settings. Unlocked S22U on AT&T.
What happens if you restrict background battery usage for the app?
Long shot. Can you interact with the Player notification on the lock screen? See if an incomplete swipe left or right gives you a new settings option.This is the only thing I could find in Settings > Apps > Spotify > Battery that sounds close. Changed from Optimized to Restricted and rebooted making sure no open apps but player still showed up after reboot.
No, I meant when you see the player widget on the lock screen itself, not in the settings. It's a long shot though.I not sure if this is where you wanted me to go but I went to Setings > Lock screen > widgets and was surprised to find Music option that was turned on because I've never noticed the player on my lock screen. I went ahead and turned it off and did my normal restart to test with no apps in background. Player still in the dropdown after reboot. :-\
It's amazing... and ridiculous... where you can find settings for one thing all over the place.
The idea is not to eliminate the player notification in all places, only when the session has ended. And yes, it's ridiculous, this is an option that can be found very easily in other brands and Android versions.
Ugh. It sounds like you now have the Playback notification category turned off for Spotify. I've been searching in different places and found many similar reports with Samsung and Xiaomi devices. No solution so far, it seems a bug in both OS. I tried to replicate your issue and couldn't, I even left Spotify running and restarted the phone. Nothing, I don't get the persistent playback notification no matter what I do.OK. I went back to lockscreen and turned on music widget. Went to Spotify and played a song. Checked dropdown... no player. While the song was playing locked phone and when double tap to show lock screen... No music player on lock screen. The music is still playing.
I unlock to home screen. And pull dropdown and no player in dropdown. Music still playing.
I close all apps and reboot and... The Player back in drop down.
I play song in Spotify and lock screen again and go to lock screen... No player.
