http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#removeCallbacks(java.lang.Runnable)

Declare Runnable runnable as a instance variable. Then

runnable =new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
         music1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
         animationmusic1();
         holemusic1();
    }
    };
music1.postDelayed(runnable,10000);

Then in onPause

music1.removeCallbacks(runnable);

add an onBackPressed() in YourActivity :

/** (non-Javadoc)
     * @see android.app.Activity#onBackPressed()
     */    
@Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        music1.removeCallbacks(runnable);
        YourActivity.super.onBackPressed();
    }
