title: Android MediaPlayer in background mode
body: <p>I have a question about android MediaPlayer class
  As I've seen that MediaPlayer by default continues to run when the user switches to background mode.</p>
  
  <p>But what I have seen here <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html" rel="nofollow">Media Playback</a> .. They stated that if we want to make MediaPlayer plays in background, we must use Services.</p>
  
  <p>I want to know why I should use services if it is already playing in background</p>
  
  <p>Best regards</p>
