Created by:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(FILENAME);
mp.prepare();

Launched:

Plays even when Activity onDestroy()
In the newly opened Activity, an mp is created and music plays on top of the already running mp

It will play until you do mp. stop (), or mp. reset (), or mp. release (), or the system itself will not kill it.

In general, it is desirable to enter in the Activity onDestroy (): mp. release() Then the player will stop and release the occupied resources.

And in general, if there are problems with the player, look at the diagram and everything will be clear at once: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html

Either make the launch MediaPlayer in Service, or destroy MediaPlayer in onDestroy().
