I fixed this problem by `mediaPlayer.prepare(); My problem is about live radio streaming and I achieve this problem like below code:

if (!radioIsOpen) {
                try {
                    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
                    mediaPlayer
                            .setDataSource(URL);
                    mediaPlayer.prepare();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                }

                mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {

                    public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                        mediaPlayer.start();
                    }
                });
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio is opening...", 2).show();
            } else {
                if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
                    mediaPlayer.stop();
                    mediaPlayer.release();
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio is closing...", 2).show();
                }
            }
