Create a service in background, create a single instance of soundPlayer. In the service check which is the Activity in focus. If the package does not belong to your Application, then stop the music.

You need to programmatically register a BroadcastReceiver to receive the ACTION_SCREEN_OFF and ACTION_SCREEN_ON intent actions. You can not register a receiver in your AndroidManifest.xml for these actions.

private BroadcastReceiver screenOffReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        final String action = intent.getAction();
        if (Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF.equals(action) {
            // do stuff
        }
    }
};

// to register the receiver
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
context.registerReceiver(screenOffReceiver, filter);

Hopefully you are playing music in a Service, in which case you can register the screen off receiver when your music starts. Service extends Context, so you can call registerReceiver directly.
