general video players connect the media server through unicast but I need a player to receive media stream using multicast/broadcast.
scenario: Media Server ---> AP --(multicast/broadcast video stream)--> player(android phone)
is there any Android SDK to support this function? or is there any solution without developing software codec and RTP stack?

Here is a post about Android and multi-cast support: How to receive Multicast packets on Android
The question about a multicast video streaming protocol is a separate issue. There should be nothing Android-specific required (assuming you can get and receive multicast data is all you need from Android).
Getting the new codec to show up as a video-playing app in Android is a separate issue. See this question: How to add a new video codec to Android?
