cannot play mp3 using mediaplayer android

I pressed the button to play abc.mp3 file and "unfortunately, the app has stopped".

Java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
  MediaPlayer background_music;


protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  background_music.create(this,R.raw.abc);
}

public void playMusic(View view) {
  background_music.start();
}

}

xml

    <Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="New Button"
    android:id="@+id/button"
    ...
    android:onClick="playMusic" />

It just basically plays music and I don't know why the error comes up. Please help me.

It is NullPointerException since background_music is NULL & you try to call start() on a null object reference.

background_music.create(this,R.raw.abc);

The above code returns a MediaPlayer object but it is not saved to background_music object. So you should initialize it to 

background_music = background_music.create(this,R.raw.abc);

OR

background_music = MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.abc); //since create() is static
