Android background audio with a live audio stream

I have come along in leaps and bound with my first android app in the last three days. This is my last hurdle. How do I get my app to run a background Service that will allow the audio to keep playing? I have tried several examples I could find but they are based on playing a local (or streamed) mp3 file as opposed to a live (Icecast) mp3 stream.
Here's my code currently, everything works except background audio.
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ImageButton btn;
private ImageView img;
private boolean playPause;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn = findViewById(R.id.playPause);
img = findViewById(R.id.radioTower);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
mp.reset();
return false;
}
});
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
//mp.start();
}
});
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (!playPause) {
if(!mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.start();
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_rounded_pause_button);
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_toweron);
img.setAlpha(1.0f);
playPause = true;
}
} else {
if(mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_play_button);
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_toweroff);
img.setAlpha(0.3f);
playPause = false;
}
}
}
});
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_p");
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
}
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
}
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
}
}
Any help would be much appreciated.

you can start your service from activity like this.
public void startMusicService() {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MusicService.class);
serviceIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION);
startService(serviceIntent);
bindService(serviceIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
for stop service use this code
public void stopMusicService() {
if (service != null) {
try {
service.stop();
unbindService(mConnection);
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
for bind service with activity use this
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder _service) {
MusicService.LocalBinder binder = (MusicService.LocalBinder) _service;
service = binder.getServiceInstance(); //Get instance of your service!
service.registerClient(MainActivity.this); //Activity register in the service as client for callabcks!
if (listHolder != null) {
initilizeSongsList(listHolder.list, listHolder.position);
}
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
}
};
where service is music service object in activity MusicService service;

So this is the working service for a single live stream URL thanks to asim.
public class StreamService extends Service implements MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener, MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener {
public static final String ACTION_PLAY = "com.example.action.PLAY";
private static final String STREAM_URL = "...";
private static final String TEST_URL = "https://www.nasa.gov/mp3/586447main_JFKwechoosemoonspeech.mp3";
MainActivity mainActivity;

mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
wifiLock = ((WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE))
.createWifiLock(WifiManager.WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF, "mylock");
wifiLock.acquire();
try {
// Set the stream URL location
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(TEST_URL);
// prepareAsync must be called after setAudioStreamType and setOnPreparedListener
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
// ... react appropriately ...
// The MediaPlayer has moved to the Error state, must be reset!
return false;
}
void switchButton() {
mainActivity.checkPlaying(!mediaPlayer.isPlaying());
}
public boolean play() {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
//switchButton();
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
return false;

return false;
}
public void stop() {

if (mediaPlayer != null) {

/** Called when MediaPlayer is ready */
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer player) {

}
public void registerClient(MainActivity activity) {

Which is implemented in the main activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ImageButton btn; // Play | Pause toggle button
private ImageView img; // Radio tower image that alternates between on and off
StreamService service;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Bind the view buttons to local variables
btn = findViewById(R.id.playPause);
img = findViewById(R.id.radioTower);
startStream();
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (service.isplaying()) {
Log.d("pause","Pause Playback");
} else {
Log.d("play", "Start Playback");
}
}
});
}
public void startStream() {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, StreamService.class);
serviceIntent.setAction(StreamService.ACTION_PLAY);
startService(serviceIntent);
bindService(serviceIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
public void stopStream() {
if (service != null) {
try {
service.stop();
unbindService(mConnection);
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, service.getClass()));
service = null;
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,

StreamService.LocalBinder binder = (StreamService.LocalBinder) _service;
service = binder.getServiceInstance(); //Get instance of your service!
service.registerClient(MainActivity.this); //Activity register in the service as client for callabcks!
}
#Override

};
}
Service starts just fine, I just need to learn how to access the service object to implement the play pause functionality.

Android Service stops automatically without calling stopService()

I am starting my service with startService() method and i am not calling stopService() or stopSelf() anywhere, but i am not able to figure out why it stops playing after sometime.

I think you should call startForeground() from your service.
Here is a sample project of a music player. I might be helpful

Android back to main activity from MusicService notification

I'm working on a music player for android and i'm stuck at this problem.
By now i can play a song with musicservice and send it to background, i also display a notification with current playing song.
What i need is to re-open the main activity from the song notification and continue playing the song, it actually starts the desired activity but the music service is re-created and it stops the current playing song.
Here is my code.
MusicService.java
public class MusicService extends Service implements

(The fragment also re-creates itself when navigating through drawer menu items)
I hope somebody can help me achieve this. I dont know how to maintane the state when re-starting the MainActivity (by the way, im using navdrawer to hold fragments)

Include the currently playing song in your notification intent. Update the intent as the song changes. Include the flag to clear top and the flag to update current in the notification intent. :( sorry IDK if I have the flags right for your situation but you'll have a place to do more research.
In your service where you create the notification intent.
// link the notifications to the recorder activity
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, KmlReader.class);
resultIntent
.setAction(ServiceLocationRecorder.INTENT_COM_GOSYLVESTER_BESTRIDES_LOCATION_RECORDER);
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent
.getActivity(context, 0, resultIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
return mBuilder.build();
}
Then in main onCreate check the bundle for the name of the currently playing song and display it. Notice how I check for the existence of a bundle key before using it.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String intentaction = intent.getAction();
// First Run checks
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
// first run init
...
} else {
// get the saved_Instance state
// always get the default when key doesn't exist
// default is null for this example
currentCameraPosition = savedInstanceState
.containsKey(SAVED_INSTANCE_CAMERA_POSITION) ? (CameraPosition) savedInstanceState
.getParcelable(SAVED_INSTANCE_CAMERA_POSITION) : null;

Why do you want to handle the Back key in onKeyDown . The Activity will taken care of finishing itself when back key is pressed.
Remove the onKeyDown method from Activity if your aim is to handle BACK Key there.
You can stop and release the MediaPlayer Instance in Activity onDestroy
Also, If you need to do any specific work on back press , do it in onBackPressed method before calling super.onBackPressed.
If media controller is visible when music play, you need to handle the KEYCODE_BACK to finish the Activity
Add this in your MusicController class
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
int keyCode = event.getKeyCode();
if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK){
finish();
return true;
}
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}

#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//release meadia playes here
super.onBackPressed();
}

What's wrong here that I can't bind service in android

It is returning NullPointerException when I click play button where I want to bind the stop button with the value of getCount() method which is in the Service class which should return 1, it is crashing when I am clicking play button.
This is the activity class:
public class MainMP3 extends Activity{
Button stop;
static final String MEDIA_PATH = new String("/sdcard/");
Button data_display;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mp3interface);
startService(new Intent(MainMP3.this, ServiceMP3.class));
stop= (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop);
// to stop service
//stopService(new Intent(MainMP3.this, ServiceMP3.class));
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.play);
button.setOnClickListener(new StartClick());
}
private ServiceMP3 service = null;
private ServiceConnection connection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override // Called when connection is made
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName cName, IBinder binder) {
