        You can use audio player to play your mp3.But here is a better alarm app which fulfills your requirements.

        in the Android docs look at the Status Bar Notifications page. In particular see the Adding a Sound section.

        Try this
add any .mp3 file in raw folder place name of that file
 public void setAlarm() {
        File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
                "/Your Directory Name");
        if (!file.exists()) {
            file.mkdirs();
        }
        String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                .getAbsolutePath() + "/Your Directory Name";
        File f = new File(path + "/", filename + ".mp3");
        Uri mUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getContext().getPackageName() + "/raw/" + filename);
        ContentResolver mCr = getContext().getContentResolver();
        AssetFileDescriptor soundFile;
        try {
            soundFile = mCr.openAssetFileDescriptor(mUri, "r");
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            soundFile = null;
        }
        try {
            byte[] readData = new byte[1024];
            FileInputStream fis = soundFile.createInputStream();
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
            int i = fis.read(readData);
            while (i != -1) {
                fos.write(readData, 0, i);
                i = fis.read(readData);
            }
            fos.close();
        } catch (IOException io) {
        }
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, f.getAbsolutePath());
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, filename);
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, f.length());
        values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, R.string.app_name);
        values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);
        Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(f.getAbsolutePath());
        getContext().getContentResolver().delete(uri, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=\"" + f.getAbsolutePath() + "\"", null);
        Uri newUri = mCr.insert(uri, values);
        try {
            RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getContext(),
                    RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM, newUri);
            Settings.System.putString(mCr, Settings.System.ALARM_ALERT,
                    newUri.toString());
            Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } catch (Throwable t) {
        }
    }
