If you're building the app using the android studio, you will have to activate the mediaplayer service ie, music playing in the background.

You can try something of this sort,
Intent intent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.google.android.music");
startActivity(intent);
This would directly take you to the Google Play Music App. Hope this helps you @junaiiiid .
