Use .setDataSource to get mediaMetadata from curre

Question

I want to get MediaMetadata (song title / artist) from the current playing android audio source for any app (spotify, google play, soundcloud, YouTube, blackplayer, etc) and am trying to use MediaMetadataRetriever.setDatSource

Currently I have a function 'getActiveNotifications' in 'MainActivity.java' that gets called whenever a button is pressed, my code looks like this:

public void getActiveNotifications(View view) {
    String temp ="temp";

    Log.i("myTag", "Logging active notifications:");

    //get data from MediaMetaData somehow? Always displays correct string in Logcat
    MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();

    //mmr.setDataSource("CURRENT APP PLAYING MUSIC (googlePlay / Spotify / Soundcloud etc)");
    mmr.setDataSource("https://somewebsite.com/somefile.mp3", new HashMap<String,String>());

    //extract metadata and save to string
    String albumName = mmr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE);


    Log.i("myTag", "done with function. ");
}

Can I use .setDatSource generally for any music app or does it work for files only?

I can see updateMediaMetaData in Logcat printing media metadata of the currently playing song working for both music streaming and file playing apps (see pic)

Am I on the correct track here? Is there a way I can use .getDataSource on streaming / fileplayer apps for whatever the currently playing audio source is?

any help much appreciated, thanks
