mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
try {

    mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(this,
            Uri.parse("android.resource://com.blh.pickupfresh.resturentapp/" + audioFile));

    final AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING,audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING),0);
    mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
    mMediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
    mMediaPlayer.prepare();
    mMediaPlayer.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

`and resolve the same asap` stackoverflow does not work this way. If you want something ASAP - you can post a project on some freelance service, and get a developer to help you ASAP for money — Vladyslav Matviienko, Jul 17 '19 at 06:50
`It is working till oreo but not working in android pie` that's what you wrote in question, but `Why doesn't it work?` in pie? what fails? `does it throw any exceptions?` — Vladyslav Matviienko, Jul 17 '19 at 06:51
Yes it is working till oreo but not working in android 9 and also I am not getting any exception — Avinash Karn, Jul 17 '19 at 06:58
doesn't `e.printStackTrace();` print any exceptions? Are you sure? — Vladyslav Matviienko, Jul 17 '19 at 07:09
Checked the code on Pie....Working fine and the file is played....Please check DoNotDisturb is turned off. — Naitik Soni, Jul 17 '19 at 07:25
don't disturb mode is turned off in my phone but not working when my media and ringtone volume is slient — Avinash Karn, Jul 17 '19 at 07:34
ok, then probably the problem is not in playing MP3, but in setting volume of `AudioManager.STREAM_RING` — Vladyslav Matviienko, Jul 17 '19 at 08:28

Try this code

int audioFile = R.raw.ring;

if(mMediaPlayer == null)
    mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

try {
    final AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC), 0);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        mMediaPlayer.setAudioAttributes(new AudioAttributes.Builder()
                .setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_MEDIA)
                .setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC)
                .setLegacyStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC)
                .build());
    } else {
        mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    }

    mMediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
    mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() 
      {
          @Override
          public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
               mp.start();
          }
      });

    mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(this, Uri.parse("android.resource://com.blh.pickupfresh.resturentapp/" + audioFile));
    mMediaPlayer.prepareAsync();

} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    Log.e(TAG,"ERROR=" + e.getMessage());
}

Here I have used AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC and also increased volume for the same stream. It will play sound even in Silent mode OR DND.

UPDATE: For Android 9 in some device mMediaPlayer.prepare() takes seconds, so we should use async method with callback and its working.

In android (at least oreo + pie), When Silent mode is ON OR DND mode is ON we can not set AudioManager.STREAM_RING to NORMAL because it will throw an Exception

java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to change Do Not Disturb state. See this for further details In Android 7 (API level 24) my app is not allowed to mute phone (set ringer mode to silent)
