For allowing your App to control the play-icon within the status bar, you need to first setup the AudioSession-Category to kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback

UInt32 sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_MediaPlayback;
AudioSessionSetProperty (kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory,
                         sizeof (sessionCategory),
                         &sessionCategory);
AudioSessionSetActive (true);

Then register for remote control events

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
[self becomeFirstResponder];

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder 
{
    return YES;
}

When done, do not forget to unregister yourself

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
