It may not be a server side push. It's not required for that kind of
feature.
The song information could be fetched from the server one at a time or as
part of a playlist. A song information can contain the title, artist, album,
media URL, image URL, duration, etc. When a song starts playing, its image
will be shown if available. Otherwise, a generic image will be shown or no
image will be shown at all.
