media player should stop on disconnecting headphone in my android app programatically

Question

I have an issue in developing a media player application.
I want it so that when I remove my headphone from my device then the MediaPlayer in my app pauses.

Answer 1

The Android documentation suggests using the AUDIO_BECOMING_NOISY intent filter

Set the intent filter in your manafest and then:

public class MusicIntentReceiver extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver {
   @Override 
   public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
      if (intent.getAction().equals(
                    android.media.AudioManager.ACTION_AUDIO_BECOMING_NOISY)) {
          // signal your service to stop playback 
          // (via an Intent, for instance) 
      } 
   } 
}
