Try using the .ogg file format for the sound files in your application. I had this same issue, and after a lot of research , i tried the .ogg format and it loops without any gaps in android.

Info about .ogg format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ogg

You can easily convert your sound file from .mp3 or what have you, to .ogg using the popular open source app VLC Media Player.
