How to update SeekBar from MediaPlayer running in Service?

Question

In my app i maid a MediaPlayer playing from Service, to update SeekBar i maid a timer task in Service

timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new RemindTask(), 0, 1 * 1000);

class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        if (mediaPlayer!=null && mediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
           MusicPlayerActivity.progress=mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition();
           MusicPlayerActivity.total=mediaPlayer.getDuration();
        }
    }
}

and using runnable list i made a run method in activity page,

@Override
public void run()
{
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            seekBar.setMax(total);
            seekBar.setProgress(progress);
        }
    });
}

But my issue is that app is very much slow and going stuck.

Use bound service if you need service to activity communication check it here. Or use libraries like EventBus
