If you were to put your file in the res/raw folder rather than the assets folder (any reason why you can't do this?), you could use the MediaPlayer class. This sample assumes you have your file in *res/ra*w and the file is thus assigned a resource ID and can be accessed via R.raw.my3gpFile for the resId parameter.

private void playResource(Context context, int resId) {
            MediaPlayer player = MediaPlayer.create(context, resId);
            player.start();

            player.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
                @Override
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    mp.release();
                }
            });         
        }
