I apoligize if this is a double post. I did not see the original come through.

I am using SDL2_mixer on my SDL2 android game. Problem is that when my user
hits the home button or does something to background my game, the music keeps
playing. The game suspends, but not the music. I realize this may be desired
behavior in certain cases, but not this one.

How can I have SDL pause the music when my Android app is not in the foreground?

Is there some way to register the following instruction when the app
is backgrounded?

Mix_PauseMusic();

You just need to catch the events SDL_APP_WILLENTERBACKGROUND and SDL_APP_WILLENTERFOREGROUND and implement the pause and unpause of the music there.

I had the same problem and I don't know why I would have sworn those events were only for IOS, so thanks a lot for the hint!
