onMetadataChanged MediaControllerCompat.Callback never called

I'm developing a simple Audio Player app for a radio station.
I have successfully made a MediaBrowser and registered a callback to listen for playBack- or metadata changes.

var mediaBrowser : MediaBrowserCompat by Delegates.notNull()
mediaBrowser = MediaBrowserCompat(
        activity,
        ComponentName(activity, MediaPlaybackService::class.java),
        object : MediaBrowserCompat.ConnectionCallback() {
            override fun onConnected() {
                val mediaController = MediaControllerCompat(activity, mediaBrowser.sessionToken)
                MediaControllerCompat.setMediaController(activity, mediaController)
                mediaController.registerCallback(ControllerCallback)
                mediaControllerFunc()
            }
        },
        null
)

object ControllerCallback : MediaControllerCompat.Callback() {
    override fun onMetadataChanged(metadata: MediaMetadataCompat) {
        //TODO: Never called
    }

    override fun onPlaybackStateChanged(state: PlaybackStateCompat) {
        //Called
    }
}

The playback changes are received when I call

mediaSession.setPlaybackState(
    PlaybackStateCompat.Builder()
            .setActions(PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION_PLAY_PAUSE)
            .setState(STATE_PLAYING, DEFAULT_PLAYBACK_POSITION, DEFAULT_PLAYBACK_SPEED)
            .build()
)

However metadata changes are not.
Even though I call

mediaSession.setMetadata(
    MediaMetadataCompat.Builder()
        .putLong(METADATA_KEY_DURATION, -1)
        .putString(METADATA_KEY_TITLE, title)
        .putString(METADATA_KEY_ARTIST, artist)
        .putBitmap(METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART, albumCover)
        .putString(METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART_URI, albumCoverUrl)
        .build()
)

What am I missing to receive metadata changes?
If it can help the complete repository is available on Github

Thanks in advance
