Pause/Resume other/system's MediaPlayer for a While

I have a requirement in one of my app in which I need to play an audio for a while on click of a button. Now there comes a case if user is already playing music on device, then i need to pause that music player to play my sound and after I release my MediaPlayer object I want to resume other app's(or atleast system's) music player.

What I have managed to do is to gain audio focus like below -

AudioManager am = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
     if (am!=null){
         am.requestAudioFocus(new AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener() 
    {
@Override
public void onAudioFocusChange(int focusChange) {

}},
AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN);
  }

But this snippet completely stops other app's music player and after releasing my MediaPlayer object AudioService is not giving focus back to system's music player.

Use this :

       public void musicPause() {
        AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

        if (mAudioManager.isMusicActive()) {

            Intent i = new Intent("com.android.music.musicservicecommand");

            i.putExtra("command", "pause"); // you can give command here play,pause,resume and stop
            playVideo.this.sendBroadcast(i); // playVideo is my Activity name
        }
    }

You can use this code. For more info about onAudioFocusChangeListener 

 onAudioFocusChangeListener = new AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener() {

 @Override
 public void onAudioFocusChange(int focusChange) {
     switch (focusChange) {
         case (AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS):
             break;
         case (AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS_TRANSIENT):
             pause();
             break;
         case (AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN):
             resume();
             break;
         case (AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS_TRANSIENT_CAN_DUCK) :
             // Lower the volume while ducking.
             player.setVolume(0.1f, 0.1f);
             break;
     }
   }
};

int mediaresult = audioManager.requestAudioFocus(onAudioFocusChangeListener, 
AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN);

if (mediaresult == AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_GRANTED) {
    //other app stop music you can play now
     //put you play code here..
 }
