If still your issue not solved then try this as it help me.

    public void playSound(int resources){
        try{
            boolean mStartPlaying = true;
            MediaPlayer  mPlayer=null;
            if (mStartPlaying==true){
                mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

                Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://YOUR_PACKAGENAME/" + resources);
                mPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(),uri);
                mPlayer.prepare();
                mPlayer.start();
            } 
            else{
                mPlayer.release();
                mPlayer = null;
            }
            mStartPlaying = !mStartPlaying;
        }
        catch (IOException e){
            Log.e(LOG_TAG, "prepare() failed");
        }

//       MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(SpyMainActivity.this, resources);
//       mp.start();

    }

Enjoy. :)
