Something like

    try {
        mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        String streamPath = "";//enter path
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(streamPath);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
    } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Wrong url for mediaplayer! " + ex);
    } catch (IllegalStateException ex) {
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Wrong url for mediaplayer! " + ex);
