How to turn off soundcloud autoplay on Android
Background Major part of this guide was extracted here: How to Disable Bluetooth Automatic Playback on any Android Phone The point of this guide isn't to disable Bluetooth music entirely, otherwise the latter can easily be achieved by: Disable Bluetooth Music : Settings >> Bluetooth >> Your device(Car) >> Settings then uncheck audio support. ..and this simply destroys the whole purpose of the guide. It is important to know that autoplay is a feature of many Bluetooth devices, despite the fact people do see this "feature" as a problem though, which is the original reason the original author wrote the guide. Understanding Bluetooth Autoplay on Android
You can actually see which application is currently set to respond to these key events by entering the following ADB command: adb shell settingsgetsecure media_button_receiver On the authors device, this command yielded the following output: com.google.android.music/com.google.android.music.playback.MediaButtonIntentReceiver
Disabling Bluetooth Autoplay with Tasker Profile (or Trigger)
Task You will notice as soon as you exit, you will be prompted to link this to a Task
AFAIK root is not necessary for this task Once youre done, Tasker should now automatically set itself as the Media Button Receiver in Android upon connection to your selected Bluetooth devices. This way, the play/pause action that is sent will not be received by any of your media applications, but instead by Tasker Unfortunately I couldnt get Spotify or Soundcloud music application to replicate the issue. However, I retested this feature using a PC with the remote audio service (Bluetooth module on my PC supports that) to test the bluetooth autoplay feature. Tests done

Alternatively.. Head to playstore and get Bluetooth connect & Play You can tell it which app should play for each bluetooth device (or to NOT play on a given BT device) Acknowledgements
