Airplay disconnecting when sending and recieving a message

I use Airplay on my iPhone to stream music from the music app to my Apple TV. When sending and recieving a message over Skype or Facebook, my phone disconnects from Airplay, pausing the music.


Is this a common issue, and are there any known fixes, or do i just have to wait for Apple to fix this in a future update?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

That is silly - Facebook message notifications are tiny. You can't provide some vague hand waving dismissal of the problem and blame network throughput.


I have the same issue - it's obviously a bug with iOS or Facebook. Airplay shouldn't disconnect every time a new message arrives. If I don't have Facebook open the same messages still arrive in the background and airplay works fine.


The issue is specific to a foreground app receiving notifications and then Airplay craps out.


Come on Apple, fix this!
