Turn on FireTV with HA Script using notify.alexa_media

I have some Echo devices and a couple of FireTVs. If I say “Alexa, Announce Hello World”, all the echo devices speak the phrase AND the FireTVs turn themselves on. I would like use this behavior in a HA script, but I’m having a problem.

I’m using the Alexa Media Player integration. I specify the echo device and the fire TV entities in my script, but only the echo speaks the phrase. I expect the FireTV to turn on as it does when responding to voice commands, but it doesn’t. Here’s my syntax, what am I doing wrong? Or maybe FireTV isn’t supported for “announce” in the HA Integration? Thanks in advance for clues or alternative methods to achieve the desired result.

test_bedroom_tv_on:
  sequence:
    - service: notify.alexa_media
      data:
        target:
          - media_player.bedroom_firetv
          - media_player.bedroom_dot
        data:
          type: announce
        message: "Hello World"
