Andriod background audio (like spotify) pauses when starting unity app

Something has changed in Unity / Android. I can no longer listen to audio from other apps when starting a Unity android app, e.g. if Spotify is playing and I start a unity app then Spotify will pause. Even if there are no sound at all in the Unity project. I even disabled the unused Audio listener from Main Camera (in default setup) and the Android background audio is still paused when starting the unity app.

How can I get around this? It's very annoying for users who usually want continue listen to music or pods while playing games.

Thanks for any help
