Public methods

addOnActiveSessionsChangedListener

Added in API level 21

public void addOnActiveSessionsChangedListener (MediaSessionManager.OnActiveSessionsChangedListener sessionListener, 
                ComponentName notificationListener)

Add a listener to be notified when the list of active sessions changes.

This requires the Manifest.permission.MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL permission be held by the calling app. You may also retrieve this list if your app is an enabled notificationlistener using the NotificationListenerService APIs, in which case you must pass the ComponentName of your enabled listener.

Parameters
`sessionListener`	`MediaSessionManager.OnActiveSessionsChangedListener`: The listener to add. This value cannot be `null`.
`notificationListener`	`ComponentName`: The enabled notification listener component. May be null.

addOnActiveSessionsChangedListener

Added in API level 21

public void addOnActiveSessionsChangedListener (MediaSessionManager.OnActiveSessionsChangedListener sessionListener, 
                ComponentName notificationListener, 
                Handler handler)

Add a listener to be notified when the list of active sessions changes.

This requires the Manifest.permission.MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL permission be held by the calling app. You may also retrieve this list if your app is an enabled notification listener using the NotificationListenerService APIs, in which case you must pass the ComponentName of your enabled listener. Updates will be posted to the handler specified or to the caller's thread if the handler is null.

Parameters
`sessionListener`	`MediaSessionManager.OnActiveSessionsChangedListener`: The listener to add. This value cannot be `null`.
`notificationListener`	`ComponentName`: The enabled notification listener component. May be null.
`handler`	`Handler`: The handler to post events to. This value may be `null`.

addOnMediaKeyEventSessionChangedListener

Added in API level 33

public void addOnMediaKeyEventSessionChangedListener (Executor executor, 
                MediaSessionManager.OnMediaKeyEventSessionChangedListener listener)

Add a listener to be notified when the media key session is changed.

This requires the Manifest.permission.MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL permission be held by the calling app, or the app has an enabled notification listener using the NotificationListenerService APIs. If none of them applies, it will throw a SecurityException.

Parameters
`executor`	`Executor`: The executor on which the listener should be invoked. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`listener`	`MediaSessionManager.OnMediaKeyEventSessionChangedListener`: A `OnMediaKeyEventSessionChangedListener`. This value cannot be `null`.

addOnSession2TokensChangedListener

Added in API level 29

public void addOnSession2TokensChangedListener (MediaSessionManager.OnSession2TokensChangedListener listener)

This API is not generally intended for third party application developers. Use the AndroidX Media2 session Library for consistent behavior across all devices.

Adds a listener to be notified when the getSession2Tokens() changes.

Parameters
`listener`	`MediaSessionManager.OnSession2TokensChangedListener`: The listener to add This value cannot be `null`.

addOnSession2TokensChangedListener

`handler`	`Handler`: The handler to call listener on. This value cannot be `null`.

getActiveSessions

Added in API level 21

public List<MediaController> getActiveSessions (ComponentName notificationListener)

Get a list of controllers for all ongoing sessions. The controllers will be provided in priority order with the most important controller at index 0.

This requires the Manifest.permission.MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL permission be held by the calling app. You may also retrieve this list if your app is an enabled notification listener using the NotificationListenerService APIs, in which case you must pass the ComponentName of your enabled listener.

Parameters
`notificationListener`	`ComponentName`: The enabled notification listener component. May be null.

Returns
`List<MediaController>`	A list of controllers for ongoing sessions. This value cannot be `null`.

getMediaKeyEventSession

Added in API level 33

`MediaSession.Token`	The media key event session, which would receive key events by default, unless the caller has specified the target. Can be `null`.

getMediaKeyEventSessionPackageName

Added in API level 33

public String getMediaKeyEventSessionPackageName ()

Gets the package name of the media key event session.

Returns
`String`	The package name of the media key event session or the last session's media button receiver if the media key event session is `null`. Returns an empty string if neither of them exists.

isTrustedForMediaControl

Added in API level 28

public boolean isTrustedForMediaControl (MediaSessionManager.RemoteUserInfo userInfo)

Checks whether the remote user is a trusted app.

An app is trusted if the app holds the Manifest.permission.MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL permission or has an enabled notification listener.

Parameters
`userInfo`	`MediaSessionManager.RemoteUserInfo`: The remote user info from either `MediaSession.getCurrentControllerInfo()` or `MediaBrowserService.getCurrentBrowserInfo()`. This value cannot be `null`.
