Answer 1

What specific plugins are you using ? And show us your AndroidManifest.xml

From : https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/picture-in-picture

An activity can enter PIP mode when the user taps the home or recents button to choose another app. (This is how Google Maps continues to display directions while the user runs another activity at the same time.)

You need to declare this :

<activity android:name="Activity"
    android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
</activity>

If you want your user entering in pip mode if he user presses the home or recents button, you have to override onUserLeaveHint() method in Activity.java with this:

@Override
public void onUserLeaveHint () {
    if (iWantToBeInPipModeNow()) {
        enterPictureInPictureMode();
    }
}
