Getting a ringtone to only loop once in mediaPlayer

So basically I use a Spinner widget and pass it the RingtoneManager Picker action, the user then selects their ringtone. Then I call onActivityResult() and get the uri for the ringtone. Finally I pass the uri to another activity where I have a alarm setup to go off after a specific amount of time.

THE PROBLEM >>> when I get the uri for the ringtone in the 2nd activity and let mediaPlayer play it, It...it doesn't stop. No matter WHAT I try.

This is the 2nd activity and the mediaPlayer that never stops.

                    Uri ringtone;
                    ringtone = Uri.parse(musixType);
                    //mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(DisplayNotification.this, ringtone);
                    mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(DisplayNotification.this, ringtone);
                    mMediaPlayer.start();
                    mMediaPlayer.setVolume(100, 100);
            }
            mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {

                @Override
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {

                    while (mMediaPlayer != null) {
                        mMediaPlayer.stop();
                        mMediaPlayer.release();
                        mMediaPlayer = null;
                    }
                }
            });

How do I get it to stop @.@

Edit: Could the reason it doesn't stop playing be that it is a ringtone from the RingtoneManager? I don't know why this would matter but I'm grasping at straws at this point.

Edit: Is there a way to specify a certain length of time for mediaPlayer to run and disregard the data passed to it?

I had this problem too and solved it like this:

player.setDataSource(this, ringtone);
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
player.prepareAsync();
 player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPrepared(final MediaPlayer mp) {
        myHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mp.stop();
                mp.release();
            }
        }, mp.getDuration()); <-- Make a postDelayed runnable that has the duration of the file as its cut off. Once the song plays, it will stop the mediaPlayer.
        mp.start();
    }
});

Since you're not calling setLooping(true); on your mMediaPlayer referenced object, looping should not be the issue here as default is set false. Make sure you're not actually calling this piece of code multiple times from outside. Put a Log line before mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(DisplayNotification.this, ringtone); and see how many times it gets logged.
