Get MediaPlayer & AudioManager to play through earpiece instead of speaker?

Hey I'm trying to play a R.raw file thru my earpiece instead of the main phone speaker on my app but everyhting I throw at it isn't working. WIht my current code... it just plays very light static through the earpiece and not the R.raw I want.

Here is my code below and I set it in the manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"/> 

 AudioManager am = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
            am.setSpeakerphoneOn(false);
        am.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL); 

        MediaPlayer tellSecret = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.secret);
    tellSecret.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL);
    tellSecret.start();

Any thoughts?

do not use 'create' api for media player, instead use 'setDataSource' and 'prepare' apis seperately. Also call 'setAudioStreamType' api on mediaplayer instance with STREAM_VOICE_CALL before calling 'setDataSource'.

In the end after starting media player, call setSpeakerphoneOn(false) on audio manager.

Try setting the Audio Manager and the Media Player modes to be AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC.
