I’m creating a music player app.
If in background the default music player is running and if I use my app to play music, both runs simultaneously.
Is there a way to stop background music player.
Thanks

If your app takes the audio focus, that should cause the current player to stop. Details are at http://developer.android.com/training/managing-audio/audio-focus.html#RequestFocus
There’s a bunch of other niceties; you probably want to register yourself as the media button event receiver, so that it’s your app that stops and starts playing. See http://android-developers.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/allowing-applications-to-play-nicer.html for details on that.
