How to play audio files at phone volume level, not speaker volume

I'm writing an Android application that plays back voice mails using MediaPlayer, which are just WAV files that have been sent to the device. When I play the file, it's played on the device's speaker, or else it plays through headphones if they're plugged in.

What I want to do is play the file so that it sounds to the user as if it's at the same volume level as a normal phone call. Is there a way to route playback so that the file is played through the phone's earpiece instead of out of the speaker?

The answer is to use the AudioManager class:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html

setSpeakerphoneOn(false) is what you need to call to route the audio to the earpiece.

Edit: except is doesn't seem to actually have any effect on anything. That's irritating.

Try using MediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType() to set the playback stream to AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL.
