Hi I am wondering how to get this working with a service as well. It works really when running the MediapPayer in the same activity. Below is the code for my service. Thanks for any help you can give.

`import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;

@SuppressWarnings({"WeakerAccess", "CanBeFinal", "SameReturnValue", "unused"})
public class BackgroundSoundService extends Service {

private static final String TAG = "BackgroundSoundService";

public MediaPlayer player;

public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
    Log.i(TAG, "onBind()" );
    return null;
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Log.i(TAG, "onCreate() , service started...");

}

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    String stUrl = intent.getStringExtra("URL");
    Uri uri =  Uri.parse( stUrl );
    player = MediaPlayer.create(this, uri);
    player.start();
    return Service.START_STICKY;
}

public IBinder onUnBind(Intent arg0) {
    Log.i(TAG, "onUnBind()");
    return null;
}

public void onStop() {
    Log.i(TAG, "onStop()");
}

public void onPause() {
    player.pause();
    player.stop();
    player.release();
    Log.i(TAG, "onPause()");
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    player.stop();
    player.release();
    Log.i(TAG, "onCreate() , service stopped...");
}

@Override
public void onLowMemory() {
    Log.i(TAG, "onLowMemory()");
}

}

@mohamadkhalaf @rivercat68 check this example activity and service provided here.

You will also need to update to library version to 2.0.1
