Mixing
Do you really need to check if MediaPlayer is running before stopping it?
Do I really need to check if my music is playing before calling mediaplayer.stop(); ? also do I really need to check if my text to speech is speaking before stopping it?
if (ttsEngine.isSpeaking()) ttsEngine.stop();
This does not always detect if it is working, but if I just call ttsEngine.stop(); It works fine. so what's the point of checking?

You're asking two questions and that is generally frowned upon here because it creates confusion.

According to MediaPlayer Android Documentation
Calling stop() stops playback and causes a MediaPlayer in the Started,
Paused, Prepared or PlaybackCompleted state to enter the Stopped
state. Once in the Stopped state, playback cannot be started until
prepare() or prepareAsync() are called to set the MediaPlayer object
to the Prepared state again. Calling stop() has no effect on a
MediaPlayer object that is already in the Stopped state.
So I guess You can use stop() without checking if MediaPlayer is playing or not
