[BUG] .NET MAUI 8.0 Android 14: AndroidX.LocalBroadcastManager.Content.LocalBroadcastManager not supported on Android 13 and above.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

For context, I use an Android 14 Samsung Galaxy A34 and a .NET 8.0 MAUI app.

And I use MediaElement version 4.0.1 because 4.1.1 kept crashing, I did not bother updating.

Sentry keeps giving me this message (ever since I started using MediaElement 1-2 months ago):
AndroidX.LocalBroadcastManager.Content.LocalBroadcastManager not supported on Android 13 and above.

Because src/CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement/Views/MediaManager.android.cs: line 10 says:
using AndroidX.LocalBroadcastManager.Content;

Very annoying and makes no sense because, yes I am using a newer Android version, shouldn't the code be updated to support Android 13+?

How do I turn this off or prevent this from sending or will there be a fix?

I googled a bit and someone said that it should be Android.Support instead of AndroidX.

All the dots are all the same pointless messages, I think they get sent each time the MediaPlayer state gets updated (when its playing, pausing, stopped).

Expected Behavior

No more messages or fix for Android 13 and above.

Steps To Reproduce

Not entirely sure how to reproduce it. As long as the BroadCastmanager gets used on an Android device with version 13 or higher.

Anything else?

The message also classifies as an error. Don't know why.
