The code for restarting the service is what I was referring to when I said it sounds like you are trying to fix a symptom of the problem. So the question is not where to put code to restart the service. The question should be, how do you detect an error in playback with MediaPlayer so you can prevent the server from stopping itself? A quick google search brought me to this SO post that looks like it could help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17619055/restarting-mediaplayer-when-connection-lost-in-android That being said, you could probably also implement a broadcast receiver that listens for connectivity state changes and act accordingly.
