Background music in my app doesn't start
<p>I'm trying to add background music to my app.
I read a lot of examples, but I have always the same problem. The music doesn't start, and I have no error message.</p>

<p>I have a class that menages the background music</p>

<pre><code>import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.IBinder;

public class BackgroundSoundService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = null;
MediaPlayer player;
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {

    return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {

    super.onCreate();
       player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.jingle);
        player.setLooping(true); // Set looping
        player.setVolume(100,100);
        player.start();
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {

    super.onStart(intent, startId);
}
public void onDestroy() {

    super.onDestroy();
}

protected void onNewIntent() {
    player.pause();
}
}
</code></pre>

<p>And, in my main class, inside the onCreate method, I use </p>

<pre><code> Intent svc=new Intent(this, BackgroundSoundService.class);
            startService(svc);
</code></pre>

<p>This is my manifest</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.giocobambini"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" &gt;

    &lt;uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16" /&gt;

    &lt;application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" &gt;
        &lt;activity
            android:name="com.example.giocobambini.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
            &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;
                &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
            &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;/activity&gt;   

        &lt;activity
            android:name="com.example.giocobambini.BackgroundSoundService"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_background_sound_service" &gt;
        &lt;/activity&gt;


    &lt;/application&gt;

&lt;/manifest&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Maybe the problem is minSdkVersion="8"!! Maybe for minSdkVersion 8 background music is not supported?</p>
