check this out http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaMetadataRetriever.html but it is on API LEVEL 10

Thank you.

I have done using the thread,not the great solution but it works

public class IcyStreamMeta {

protected URL streamUrl;
private Map<String, String> metadata;
private boolean isError;

public IcyStreamMeta(URL streamUrl) {
    setStreamUrl(streamUrl);

    isError = false;
}

/**
 * Get artist using stream's title
 *
 * @return String
 * @throws IOException
 */
public String getArtist() throws IOException {
    Map<String, String> data = getMetadata();

    if (!data.containsKey("StreamTitle"))
        return "";

    String streamTitle = data.get("StreamTitle");
    String title = streamTitle.substring(0, streamTitle.indexOf("-"));
    return title.trim();
}

/**
 * Get title using stream's title
 *
 * @return String
 * @throws IOException
 */
public String getTitle() throws IOException {
    Map<String, String> data = getMetadata();

    if (!data.containsKey("StreamTitle"))
        return "";

    String streamTitle = data.get("StreamTitle");
    String artist = streamTitle.substring(streamTitle.indexOf("-")+1);
    return artist.trim();
}

public Map<String, String> getMetadata() throws IOException {
    if (metadata == null) {
        refreshMeta();
    }

    return metadata;
}

    retreiveMetadata();
}

    InputStream stream = con.getInputStream();

    if (headers.containsKey("icy-metaint")) {
        // Headers are sent via HTTP
        metaDataOffset = Integer.parseInt(headers.get("icy-metaint").get(0));
    } else {

        }
    }

    // In case no data was sent

        return;
    }

    // Read metadata
    int b;

        }

    stream.close();
}

public boolean isError() {
    return isError;

    this.metadata = null;

            metadata.put((String)m.group(1), (String)m.group(2));
        }
    }

    return metadata;
}

}

make thread call each 10 sec

public void startThread(){

    timer = new Timer();
    timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {

            URL url;
            Message msg = handler.obtainMessage();
            try {
                url = new URL(URL);
                  IcyStreamMeta icy = new IcyStreamMeta(url);

                    Log.d("SONG",icy.getTitle());
                  msg.obj = icy.getTitle();

                Log.d("ARTITSi",icy.getArtist());
                handler.sendMessage(msg);
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    }, 0, 10000);

}
