How do I avoid the app disappearing from the notification area when pressing pause?

When the Astiga app plays your music, it adds a widget into the notification area. You can access this by pulling down from the top of the screen: Sometimes, you may find pressing the pause button makes the widget disappear; frustrating when you are switching apps on your device. To avoid this, under the hamburger menu > Settings > Playback, enable the Persistent notification setting: From that point, pressing pause should no longer dismiss the widget.
