for api 10 and above

android.media.MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
        mmr.setDataSource(songsList.get(songIndex).get("songPath"));

        byte [] data = mmr.getEmbeddedPicture();
               //coverart is an Imageview object

        // convert the byte array to a bitmap
        if(data != null)
        {
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
            coverart.setImageBitmap(bitmap); //associated cover art in bitmap
        }
        else
        {
            coverart.setImageResource(R.drawable.fallback_cover); //any default cover resourse folder
        }

            coverart.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
            coverart.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(500, 500));
