Open your music app when your headphones connect
Android doesn't let one app put another on screen while you're busy with something else. So Rulomi sets the volume and shows a notification that opens Spotify with one tap.
How do I open Spotify automatically when my headphones connect on Android?
When your Bluetooth headphones connect, Rulomi sets the volume and puts Spotify one tap away. Wired and USB-C headphones work too. To set it up, install Rulomi from Google Play, type the sentence below, check the routine it shows you, and enable it.
When my headphones connect set media volume to 40% and open SpotifyRulomi's on-device parser understands this as written, so it works with the AI planner switched off.
What Rulomi builds
- WHEN
- Your headphones connect over Bluetooth. You pick them from your paired devices on the review screen
- THEN
- Set the media volume to 40%
- Show “Tap to open Spotify”, which opens it
You see this on the review screen before you enable it, and nothing runs until you do.
Access it asks for
- Bluetooth, to notice the device connecting and disconnecting.
- Notifications, so the reminder can show.
Rulomi asks for access per routine, when a routine needs it, not all at once when you install.

Good to know
- Android 10 and later let an app open another only while it's on screen. A routine that runs by itself, like this one, shows “Tap to open Spotify” instead, and Run now opens it straight away.
- You confirm which installed app to open on the review screen, so any music or podcast app works the same way.
- Earbuds that play audio over LE Audio alone aren't seen connecting yet. Most headphones also have classic Bluetooth, which is.
