Disable or hide seekbar in MediaStyle notifications

Question

Trying to build a live stream media playback app, the media style notifications in 28 and below sdk looks good without any seekbar, but when running same application in Android 10 (SDK 29) the notification is showing additional seekbar which i don't want since the stream is live and i am using default exoplayer (exo vers. 2.10.8) behavior to cache.

How do i disable or hide the seekbar?

tried setting below in notification builder:

.setProgress(0,0,true)

Snippet of notification below :

    Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this,Constant.CHANNEL_ID)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_logo)
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentText(message)
            .setLargeIcon(artwork)
            .addAction(new Notification.Action.Builder(
                    Icon.createWithResource(getApplicationContext(),playPauseResourceId),
                    "Play/Pause",
                    playPausePendingIntent).build())
            .addAction(new Notification.Action.Builder(
                    Icon.createWithResource(getApplicationContext(),R.drawable.exo_icon_stop),
                    "Play/Pause",
                    stopPendingIntent).build())
            .setStyle(new Notification.MediaStyle().setShowActionsInCompactView(0).setMediaSession(mediaSession.getSessionToken()))
            .setSubText(subText)
            .setContentIntent(pendingActivityIntent)
            .setVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
            .setProgress(0,0,true)
            .build();

You need to use PlayerNotificationManager instead of Notification.Builder and pass custom Bundle extra to MediaDescriptionCompat.Builder using setExtras() method with MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DURATION key and -1 value then override getMediaDescription() method of TimelineQueueNavigator class and pass it to MediaSessionConnector like so :

mediaSessionConnector.setQueueNavigator(new TimelineQueueNavigator(mediaSession) {
    @Override
    public MediaDescriptionCompat getMediaDescription(Player player, int windowIndex) {
        Bundle extras = new Bundle();
        extras.putInt(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DURATION, -1);

        return new MediaDescriptionCompat.Builder()
                .setMediaId(trackModel.mediaId)
                .setIconBitmap(trackModel.bitmap)
                .setTitle(trackModel.title)
                .setDescription(trackModel.description)
                .setExtras(extras)
                .build();
    }
});
