Proposed change
This PR adds a short troubleshooting note for Android 17 ringer mode notification commands.
Starting with Android 17, Android may block background audio interactions due to the new Background Audio Hardening behavior. This can cause ringer mode commands to silently fail when they are executed in the background, even when the required notification policy access permission is granted.
The added documentation explains why this can happen, links to the official Android documentation, and shows the ADB commands to temporarily disable or re-enable this hardening behavior.
