        if (notifyCB) notifyCB(cookie, msg, ext1, ext2, obj);
    }

既然明白了这些，我们就直接看notify()函数实现：

//用于向MediaPlayer对象传递消息;參数void* cookie实际指向当前的Client实例;msg參数是事件类型信息
void MediaPlayerService::Client::notify(
        void* cookie, int msg, int ext1, int ext2, const Parcel *obj)
{
    Client* client = static_cast<Client*>(cookie);//首先得到当前的Client对象
    if (client == NULL) {
        return;
    }

    sp<IMediaPlayerClient> c;
    {
        Mutex::Autolock l(client->mLock);
        c = client->mClient;//得到该Client保存的IMediaPlayerClient对象信息,它实际指向一个Native MediaPlayer实例
        if (msg == MEDIA_PLAYBACK_COMPLETE && client->mNextClient != NULL) {//假设当前事件是MEDIA_PLAYBACK_COMPLETE,表明当前播放已经结束。而且我们设置了下一个mNextClient
            if (client->mAudioOutput != NULL)                               //就须要切换运行mNextClient;效果就是当前播放结束后,会自己主动切换到下一个播放
                client->mAudioOutput->switchToNextOutput();
            client->mNextClient->start();
            client->mNextClient->mClient->notify(MEDIA_INFO, MEDIA_INFO_STARTED_AS_NEXT, 0, obj);//并调用notify()方法,向外告知MEDIA_INFO_STARTED_AS_NEXT事件
        }
    }

    if (MEDIA_INFO == msg &&
        MEDIA_INFO_METADATA_UPDATE == ext1) {//msg为MEDIA_INFO的情况
        const media::Metadata::Type metadata_type = ext2;

        if(client->shouldDropMetadata(metadata_type)) {
            return;
        }

        // Update the list of metadata that have changed. getMetadata
        // also access mMetadataUpdated and clears it.
        client->addNewMetadataUpdate(metadata_type);
    }

    if (c != NULL) {
        ALOGV("[%d] notify (%p, %d, %d, %d)", client->mConnId, cookie, msg, ext1, ext2);
        c->notify(msg, ext1, ext2, obj);//调用这一次的MediaPlayerService::Client实例相应的Native MediaPlayer实例的notify()方法
    }
}

这里处理几种特殊情况，当我们设置了mNextClient时（通过MediaPlayerService::Client::setNextPlayer()设置），假设msg符合情况。就会自己主动切换到下一个播放。msg为MEDIA_INFO的情况，也会有一些特殊的处理。接着，就调用MediaPlayer::notify()方法，该函数的内容之前已经介绍过一些，这里在贴一遍它的实现：

//向应用程序反馈当前状态变化的回调事件,设置当前MediaPlayer的状态
void MediaPlayer::notify(int msg, int ext1, int ext2, const Parcel *obj)
{
    ALOGV("message received msg=%d, ext1=%d, ext2=%d", msg, ext1, ext2);
    bool send = true;
    bool locked = false;

    // TODO: In the future, we might be on the same thread if the app is
    // running in the same process as the media server. In that case,
    // this will deadlock.
    //
    // The threadId hack below works around this for the care of prepare,
    // seekTo and start within the same process.
    // FIXME: Remember, this is a hack, it‘s not even a hack that is applied
    // consistently for all use-cases, this needs to be revisited.
    if (mLockThreadId != getThreadId()) {
        mLock.lock();
        locked = true;
    }

    // Allows calls from JNI in idle state to notify errors
    if (!(msg == MEDIA_ERROR && mCurrentState == MEDIA_PLAYER_IDLE) && mPlayer == 0) {
        ALOGV("notify(%d, %d, %d) callback on disconnected mediaplayer", msg, ext1, ext2);
        if (locked) mLock.unlock();   // release the lock when done.
        return;
    }

StagefrightPlayer::start()方法实现：

status_t StagefrightPlayer::start() {

    return mPlayer->play();
}

void AwesomePlayer::notifyIfMediaStarted_l() {
    if (mMediaRenderingStartGeneration == mStartGeneration) {

        notifyListener_l(MEDIA_STARTED);

}

最后，最外层的process_media_player_call()调用会依据start()的运行结果，推断是否须要抛出函数处理错误或异常信息。

MediaPlayer::create()让我们使用MediaPlayer时更加简便、快捷。在调用create()函数之后。我们仅仅需调用start()就可使用MediaPlayer了。

另外，有了之前的分析，相信我们再看MediaPlayer的其它函数实现，也不会有太大问题了。
