You can pass HTTP headers, including basic auth headers, in MediaPlayer requests using the following method, which is available in Android API level 14 and above.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setDataSource(android.content.Context%2C%20android.net.Uri%2C%20java.util.Map%3Cjava.lang.String%2C%20java.lang.String%3E)
