Answer 1

if you update your project with androidX dependencies, you must import

<receiver android:name="androidx.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver">
   <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON"/>
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Answer 2

Google official document's explain： This class assumes you have a Service in your app that controls media playback via a MediaSessionCompat. Once a key event is received by MediaButtonReceiver, this class tries to find a Service that can handle Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON, and a MediaBrowserServiceCompat in turn. If an appropriate service is found, this class forwards the key event to the service. If neither is available or more than one valid service/media browser service is found, an IllegalStateException will be thrown. Thus, your app should have one of the following services to get a key event properly.

You can solve it in the following ways:

1.A service can receive a key event by including an intent filter that handles Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON:

<service android:name="com.example.android.MediaPlaybackService" >
   <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
   </intent-filter>
 </service>

Events can then be handled in Service.onStartCommand(Intent, int, int) by calling handleIntent(MediaSessionCompat, Intent), passing in your current MediaSessionCompat:

private MediaSessionCompat mMediaSessionCompat = ...;

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
   MediaButtonReceiver.handleIntent(mMediaSessionCompat, intent);
   return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
 }

This ensures that the correct callbacks to MediaSessionCompat.Callback will be triggered based on the incoming KeyEvent.

2.MediaBrowserService

If you already have a MediaBrowserServiceCompat in your app, MediaButtonReceiver will deliver the received key events to the MediaBrowserServiceCompat by default. You can handle them in your MediaSessionCompat.Callback.
