check out the issue in android bug report. replacing http with httplive worked for me. Here is the sample code below from the bug report

private void playVideo(Integer Media) {
    doCleanUp();
    try {
        switch (Media) {
            case Globals.TEST_HTTP:
                path = "http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/prog_index.m3u8";
                break;
            case Globals.TEST_HTTPLIVE:
                path = "httplive://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear1/prog_index.m3u8";
                break;
        }
        mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(path);
        mMediaPlayer.setDisplay(holder);
        mMediaPlayer.prepare();
        mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
        mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
        mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
        mMediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(this);
        mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "error: " + e.getMessage(), e);
    }
}
