Listener For Media Button (headset-hook) Using Service Without Activity

How can I make service listen for media button (headset-hook) in android device . I try to do that using this code but did not work. Can you help me. Service code: public class RLs

Solution 1:

Your service is expecting an Intent with the ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTONIntent action. You are not starting the service using such an Intent.

Change:

    Intent i=newIntent(RLservice.class.getName());
    i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    arg0.startService(i);

to:

    arg1.setClass(this, RLservice.class);
    arg0.startService(arg1);

This will effectively "redirect" the broadcast as a command to your service, with the action and extras intact.

Also:

• Get rid of android:process=":remote", as it is not necessary here and is user-hostile

• Get rid of your <intent-filter> in your <service>, unless you intend for a million other apps to be calling this service
