Already looked at it, but I don’t understand how to implement it.
Read up on Creating and Building Capacitor plugins. The code I shared is considered a “local plugin”.

I’m getting this.
audioPlayerService is null
And then this
File: http://localhost/main.f7c9b52cd94d4b7aafea.js - Line 1 - Msg: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: There was an issue creating the audio player (1).
Error: There was an issue creating the audio player (1).
at cap.fromNative (http://localhost/:411:32)
at <anonymous>:1:18
On my Android Studio logcat
Any Suggestions?
You’re gonna have to share more info than that. How did you set it up and what does your code look like?
Component
import { AudioPlayer} from 'src/app/MyPlugins/AudioPlayerPlugin';
ngOnInit() {
AudioPlayer.create({
audioId:"centro-dig",
audioSource:"http://streamingecuador.com:7046/stream",
friendlyTitle:"Centro Digital",
useForNotification:true,
isBackgroundMusic:true,
loop:false
});
AudioPlayer.initialize({audioId:"centro-dig"})
AudioPlayer.play({
audioId:"centro-dig"
});
}
And then the same as you have on your repo
My bad, I had it wrong on my AndroidManifest.xml
Had this:
<service
android:name="audio.AudioPlayerService"
android:description="@string/audio_player_service_description"
/>
Instead of this and had no errors
<service
android:name=".AudioPlayerService"
android:description="@string/audio_player_service_description"
/>
But now I’m getting this

Either remove setting the small icon (reference) or create an Android resource called ic_stat_icon_default.
DUUUUUUUUUDE YOU ROCK!!! Works perfectly!!! Now I’m test it on iOS.

Hi @twestrick !
I think that I found a small bug on AudioPlayerService.java.
setContentType(isBackgroundMusic ? C.AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH : C.AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH)
should be
.setContentType(isBackgroundMusic ? C.AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC : C.AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH)
This is actually in AudioSource.java 
I found my commit in my repo where I changed it to both be AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH from
.setContentType(isBackgroundMusic ? C.AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC : C.AUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH)
I probably left the ternary in there so I could easily switch back if needed.
For my use case, I believe this was intended so both the speech and background music are paused when another app requests audio focus vs. the background music being ducked (reduced in volume).
I couldn’t find the ExoPlayer’s documentation but here is a link to Android’s general info about audio focus - Manage audio focus | Android media | Android Developers.

@twestrick I have recently updated to Androidx media but I’m having this issue:
