How to stop mediaPlayer when app goes to background?

Question

How do I stop MediaPlayer only when whole app goes to background. If I call MediaPlayer.Stop() in onPause() it will be stopped in other activity.

Sounds like you need to follow along these lines: Stop MediaPlayer service when app goes in Background. Switching to call it onDestroy() is another option.

ProcessLifecycleOwner solves this problem beautifully. It is a special kind of LifecycleOwner that is a composite of all of your Activities. It provides lifecycle for the whole application process.

You can use it to react on your app coming to the foreground or going to the background with very little code.

Checkout more details in this medium post React to foreground and background events with ProcessLifecycleOwner
