RemoteControlClient

public class RemoteControlClient
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.media.RemoteControlClient

This class was deprecated in API level 21.
Use MediaSession instead.

RemoteControlClient enables exposing information meant to be consumed by remote controls capable of displaying metadata, artwork and media transport control buttons.

A remote control client object is associated with a media button event receiver. This event receiver must have been previously registered with AudioManager.registerMediaButtonEventReceiver(ComponentName) before the RemoteControlClient can be registered through AudioManager.registerRemoteControlClient(RemoteControlClient).

Here is an example of creating a RemoteControlClient instance after registering a media button event receiver: 

ComponentName myEventReceiver = new ComponentName(getPackageName(), MyRemoteControlEventReceiver.class.getName());
 AudioManager myAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
 myAudioManager.registerMediaButtonEventReceiver(myEventReceiver);
 // build the PendingIntent for the remote control client
 Intent mediaButtonIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON);
 mediaButtonIntent.setComponent(myEventReceiver);
 PendingIntent mediaPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, mediaButtonIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE_UNAUDITED);
 // create and register the remote control client
 RemoteControlClient myRemoteControlClient = new RemoteControlClient(mediaPendingIntent);
 myAudioManager.registerRemoteControlClient(myRemoteControlClient);
