Android app not changing volume

Question

so I am trying to make a simple app that mutes the media volume then closes itself. When I run the app I get two problems first it does not change the volume, and second it claims the app crashed on my phone witch I don't want to happen. Hers my code:

package com.example.scielencetester;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.os.Bundle;



public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        AudioManager mgr=null;
        mgr=(AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
        mgr.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
        finish();
    }

    }

If it helps here is a copy of the error log:

The stack trace is telling you what to do...

android.util.SuperNotCalledException: Activity {com.example.scielencetester/com.example.scielencetester.MainActivity} did not call through to super.onCreate()

In your onCreate() method, call the superclass method ( super.onCreate(...) )

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    AudioManager mgr=null;
    mgr=(AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    mgr.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
    finish();
}
