Android - MediaPlayer, how to catch broken url when streaming

I have a little application that streams from differents urls from the net, I would like to handle invalid/broken url, I have tried the various catch offered but even when streaming a broken file, I can see my log in the log, all I see is 

 Error (1,-1004)

here is my code for the moment

 mediaPlayer.reset();
        try {
            mediaPlayer.setDataSource(urlString);
            Log.w("myApp", "0");
            mediaPlayer.prepareAsync(); // might take long! (for buffering, etc)
            playPauseButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
             progressBar1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    duration = mediaPlayer.getDuration();
                    textDuration.setText(getDurationString(duration/1000));
                    progress.setMax(duration);
                    playPauseButton.setChecked(true); 
                    mediaPlayer.start();
                    playPauseButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                     progressBar1.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                }
            });

        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Log.w("myApp", "1");
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Log.w("myApp", "2");
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Log.w("myApp", "3");
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Log.w("myApp", "4");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Thank you for the help .)

This may help. If you are using Android Studio then watch the Run logs when you are debugging and it will show the error that is thrown.

e.g D/MediaPlayerNative: Message: MEDIA_ERROR(100), ext1=Unknown MediaErrorType(-38), ext2=0x0

This is the nearest I have got to seeing whether a stream is online or not. If you know better please respond.

mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
                switch (what) {
                    case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_NOT_VALID_FOR_PROGRESSIVE_PLAYBACK:
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Media Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED:
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Radio Server Died", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN:
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Stream is possibly offline", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        button_stop.performClick();
                        break;
                    case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_IO:
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "IO Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });

MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener may help. it's not a exception.so you can't catch it.

onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra);

official doc. MEDIA_ERROR_IO is extra code.

public static final int MEDIA_ERROR_IO

Added in API level 17
File or network related operation errors.

Constant Value: -1004 (0xfffffc14)
