When the Chromecast is streaming and an Android phone (at least the ones made by Google such as the Pixel or Nexus 6P/5X) is connected to the same network a notification pops up on the phone allowing the user to take actions (like play, pause, next song, mute, etc..) and provides instant access to the app that's being used.
