Quick answer:

public class WebsiteActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

    @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_website);

        Resources res = getResources();
        int sound = res.getIdentifier(music, "raw", getPackageName());

        //Play music
        mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), sound);
        mediaPlayer.start();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();

        mediaPlayer.stop();
        mediaPlayer.reset();
    }
}
