Why does my app stop working after I close it?

Question

This has started to happen in my app, when I got rid of the status bar in my Java file. I close the app (I use a real device) by using my phone's task manager, and then on my home screen, the message "My App has stopped working." What should I do?

Java File

package interactive.siddiqui.survivor;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

public class Main extends Activity {

private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);



    mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.drawable.background_musicmain);
    mediaPlayer.start();




}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
public void sendMessage(View view)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, GameView.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    onDestroy();
}

public void onDestroy() {
    if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
        mediaPlayer.stop();
    }
    mediaPlayer.release();
}

}

@Override is missing in onDestroy. and it's better to handle music in Background service — Zar E Ahmer, Jul 28 '15 at 06:48

The onDestroy gets called and probably meets a NullPointerException. Add this check for null:

public void onDestroy() {
    if (mediaPlayer == null)
    { return; }

    if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
        mediaPlayer.stop();
    }
    mediaPlayer.release();
}

Why does my app stop working after I close it?
