KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_REWIND:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE));

getActivity().sendOrderedBroadcast(intent, null);

intent.setAction("android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE));
