How do I get the system volume programatically

I want to get the system volume level to use programatically, the one you set with the hardware keys when being outside any application. I tried with below method but it doesnt do anything

        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.notif);
        AudioManager am = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
        int volume_level = am.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM);
        mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(volume_level);
        mediaPlayer.start();

What do I need to change?

You have to change this line 

 mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(volume_level);

to this:

 mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM);

setAudioStreamType()

Used to identify the type of audio stream

AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM is for alarm

AudioManager.STREAM_DTMF is for touch sounds

AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC is for music

AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION is for notification

AudioManager.STREAM_RING is for phone ring

AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM is for system sounds

AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL is for phone calls

Please reffer offical doc here to set or get the system volume of android device.

To set volume level to 20 you can use following code:

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 20, 0);
