I use this ExoPlayer demo for playing audio streaming. I modified code for playing audio with notification. for this I put Exoplayer code in service class, but pause method not working don't know what happens but setPlayWhenReady(false) not working in service. Check this modified source code

exoplayer service android

That's because every time you setPlayWhenReady(false) , the onPlayerStateChanged method of ExoPlayer Listener Called and you are setting setPlayWhenReady(true) in the listener. So that's what you need to do : 1. define a field in your service :

boolean isPreparing;

2. set isPreparing = true before initializing the ExoPlayer :

isPreparing = true;
player.prepare(...);

3. in the onPlayerStateChanged method of ExoPlayer Listener :

@Override
public void onPlayerStateChanged(boolean playWhenReady, int playbackState) {
  if(isPreparing && playbackState == ExoPlayer.STATE_READY){
     // do whatever you want
     isPreparing = false;
  }
}

And that's it.
