You could use Cling (Java/Android UPnP library and tools). It's Free Software, distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

See chapter 5 "Cling on Android" in the user manual.

Is this possible to play any online video? – Angel Jun 05 '14 at 07:36
@Angel it's supports UPnP MediaRenderer, based on gstreamer, so it can – Acuna Apr 19 '20 at 14:08

You can use CyberLink. There is a open source project on Github.DLNA_Sample

There is no api I'm aware of. You have to implement all the functionality by yourself - starting on lowest level, like handling network connections and data streaming. Also to make it comply DLNA standarts there is much more work to be done, and from my experience it's quite a lot of work. For start you might need to register yourself as a member of DLNA (http://www.dlna.org) and then you'll be able to access all specification/requirement documentation describing how it should work.
