In the notification shade, it shows which device is being used for output, whether the phone speaker or a bluetooth device or whatever. It would be nice if that info could display in-app as well

Could use https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioDeviceInfo#getProductName() and display an icon for the various types defined there as well

I haven't delved deep into this topic, but I believe Android reserves the right to add anything to the notification widget in your screenshot such as Chromecast, so it would be more complicated than that. Many Android APIs also don't work as advertised or have compatibility pitfalls.
