Answer 1

After you called mediaPlayer.stop() you can try at this at your else-case in your togglelistener:

mp.reset();
mp.setDataSource(MEDIA_PATH);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

You also can try this:

instead of mediaPlayer.stop():

mp.pause();
mp.seekTo(0);

and start just like:

 mp.start();

Good luck!
