Multiplying "Shared Controls" notifications on all speakers

Multiplying "Shared Controls" notifications.

A few weeks ago I started getting multiple notifications for any Chromecast device playing in my home. I have a Google Home and  three Google Mini pucks and any one of them casting does this. It's really annoying and keeps notifying me constantly. I also can't  control the device from the notification though I could before. 

Is anyone else experiencing this and ideally have a solution? I don't want to disable Shared Controls because I use the notification to control the devices.

They all seem to have the latest firmware updates and I'll verify this. I am using a Samsung Galaxy 10+. No Wi-Fi or network changes have ocurred. It's not a critical failure but is really annoying with a loss of functionality. 

I have a screenshot of the issue but don't see anywhere I can upload it with this submission.

I am getting exactly the same issue with any device that is on any network  I connect to. So I don't think it's got to do with the individual devices. Using a Galaxy S8. Only started happening a week or 2 ago. Hope they can clarify why this is happening as it's annoying as all hell.

Same here, Hawei Mate 20 pro, began a few weeks ago. I have 4 nest speakers. The notifications keep replicating. Since taking the screenshot attached with 5 notifications, I now have 7 notifications.

I get over 25 notifications, it's pretty ridiculous. I couldn't upload because I was a new member apparently. here's a screenshot I wish I could have uploaded. Note that there are more off-screen.

A critical problem is I can't control my speakers anymore from these notifications, which I used to be able to. I am very thankful for the "Clear"  button.

I'm also having this issue. Possibly for the last month or so. Certainly annoying and happens on multiple devices - nest minis, hub, android TV.

Hello, I have the exact same issue described above. I do not want to disable cast notifications, as I use this feature all the time. I have a Galaxy S9. I've tried changing the WIFI channel and resetting the router. This issue is present for all of my google devices: Nest home, Chromecast, Chromecast audio, Mini. Thanks!

its almost like Google release updates without any testing whatsoever. Just live test it on their paying customers.

Yeah seems like it's a google play services thing, because I get the same issue with multiple pop-ups on a phone that doesn't even have google home installed. Google really needs to fix this and roll out a patch asap.

+1. i too have 2nd handset for these things. no home app ever and no google account ever. de-admin-ing and uninstalling play services to factory (pie, on that) fixes the issue
