Solution

I believe the issue here is that you are trying to start an Activity directly from a background thread. I do not believe this is possible to do directly in Android - instead you must have the Activity start from the UI thread. Therefore, the way to do this in Android is to use a Handler. The Handler lives on the UI thread and receives messages from the background thread to do your UI actions such as starting another Activity.

Example:

//Inside your activity:
final Handler messageHandler = new Handler() {
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) 
    {
        //Start Activity
        Intent i = new Intent(Start.this, RadyoBabylonActivity.class);
        startActivity(i);
    }
}

//Inside onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp):
messageHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
