| <p>A simple music player that illustrates how to make a multimedia application | 
 | that manages media playback from a service. It allows the user to play music | 
 | available on the device or specify a URL from which the media should be | 
 | streamed.  It also illustrates how to use the notification system to indicate | 
 | an ongoing task and how to deal with audio focus changes.</p> | 
 |  | 
 | <p class="note"><strong>Update:</strong> This sample also illustrates how to use the | 
 | <code><a href="../../../reference/android/media/RemoteControlClient.html">RemoteControlClient</a></code> | 
 | class added in API level 14 to integrate with music playback remote controls | 
 | such as those found on the lockscreen.</p> |
