MediaBrowserServiceCompat

public abstract class MediaBrowserServiceCompat
extends Service

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.content.Context
     ↳ android.content.ContextWrapper
       ↳ android.app.Service
         ↳ android.support.v4.media.MediaBrowserServiceCompat

Base class for media browse services.

Media browse services enable applications to browse media content provided by an application and ask the application to start playing it. They may also be used to control content that is already playing by way of a MediaSessionCompat.

To extend this class, you must declare the service in your manifest file with an intent filter with the SERVICE_INTERFACE action. For example: 

 <service android:name=".MyMediaBrowserServiceCompat"
          android:label="@string/service_name" >
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="android.media.browse.MediaBrowserService" />
     </intent-filter>
 </service>
