No sound from phone speakers on Bluetooth

Up until about a month ago, if I connected my phone via Bluetooth to my car, my phone notifications still made sound on the phone. Then an app called Smart Things seemed to hijack my phone any time I used Bluetooth. Do I need to be using that app to play through the car speakers (which I do with podcasts, etc). I still want my phone to play the notifications.

I did turn off (force stop) Smart Things, but the notifications still aren't playing when on Bluetooth. Any ideas what I've done?
