There are multiple possibilities, based upon your needs, pick one, or a combination:

1) An easy solution: Put the .mp3 in your private folder. NOTE: Rooted users are still able to play/copy the mp3 file.

2) Another Easy way: rename the .mp3 to something weird, so it will not get picked up by music players. E.g. your_file.aaa ... NOTE: Rooted Users who know this file is actually an .mp3 can rename it and play/copy it

3) Or, a bit more work, encrypt/decrypt the file. This tutorial can get you started. This is an option if you absolutely want to prevent users from playing/copying the .mp3 outside your app.

Add a .nomedia file in the audio track directory of your app.This avoids the files being listed in music player.
