I want to create a Media Playback notification using the new Android L MediaStyle template. Now, I succeeded doing so perfectly well for actions like previous, play, pause, next

Adding on to @matiash's answer:

1. For Pre-Lollipop his answer is as needed.

   notificationBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.MediaStyle().setShowCancelButton(true).setCancelButtonIntent(createPlayIntent());
   

2. For post-Lollipop: To start a media-player notification one must have surely used startForeground() to start the Media Service as a Foreground Service. The problem now is that this Service is not dismissible. EVEN IF we set the setOngoing(false).

The best practice followed is to make the Service dismissible in the paused state. To do that, when your Media Service receives a Pause state callback, call stopForeground(false). This stops the service, but keeps the notification alive. And it can now be dismissed.

Happy coding.
