This is a simple yet powerful little flow that will mute notifications tones and ringtones when media playback is detected. YouTube videos, Spotify music, anything android considers media playing this will mute ringtones and notifications BUT the popup notifications are still visible so you can interact with them but the sound is just gone so there's no interruptions with the media playback.
The reason for this is that some media apps will pause when there's incoming calls or notifications and some will just lower the volume of the media and some don't do anything, especially while driving with android auto. Personally I'd like to listen to music without random ringtones/notification tones popping out of my speakers so I made this. I also have automatic sound profiles for work/home/driving/etc. and I have copy/pasted this to the end of those so that when a profile is activated it will also check if media is playing and activate the profile while still keep the ring and notifications muted.
