If the device is in speakerphone mode, you can record via the microphone and it will pick up whatever the device is playing, along with any other ambient sounds. Use AudioRecord or MediaRecorder as you see fit.

If the device is not in speakerphone mode, you have no means of intercepting the audio output of other applications.

From a security and privacy point of view it seems entirely correct that one should not be able to do that. – glenatron Mar 05 '13 at 16:29
