So every time we tap on the play music button it creates an intent and starting a service ?

For me it seems not right to create new intent and starting service every time user tap the button to play the music. What happen if the user tap play button repeatedly, would it be starting a lot of PlayService ?? and its not goog for system right ?? Ben Deitch

Hey Rifqi! If the user tapped the play button repeatedly, it might call 'onStartCommand' a lot, but it will still only take one call to stopSelf/stopService to stop everything so it's not that much of an issue.
