                await CrossMediaManager.Current.Play(media);              

                long lng;

                lng = media.Metadata.Duration;
                TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(lng).Duration();

                Debug.WriteLine("get Time ---",getTime);           

                _countdown.StartTime = TimeSpan.Zero;
                _countdown.EndTime = e.Duration;
                _countdown.IsRunning = true;

                _countdown.Start();

                _countdown.Ticked += OnCountdownTicked;
                _countdown.Completed += OnCountdownCompleted;
                img.Source = "Pause.png";
                play = true;

            }
            else
            {
                await CrossMediaManager.Current.Pause();
                img.Source = "Play.png";
                play = false;
            }
}

Here I am Using Playingchangedevet when user click the Button Then its play.

using this line you can get the total duration of your current playing song int SongDuration => kMediaPlayer.Duration.TotalSeconds > 0 ? Convert.ToInt32(kMediaPlayer.Duration.TotalSeconds) : 0; — Prasanth
try this one e.Duration.Second instead of using lng = media.Metadata.Duration; — Prasanth

While I am Trying to get a duration of Audio its showing value of 0.

Have a try this way to play audio,adding a PlayingChanged to get duration:

CrossMediaManager.Current.PlayingChanged += (sender, e) =>
{
    Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
    {
        ProgressBar.Progress = e.Progress;
        Duration.Text = "" + e.Duration.TotalSeconds / 1000 + " seconds";            
    });
};

And with a Button to start to play:

CrossMediaManager.Current.Play("https://ia800605.us.archive.org/32/items/Mp3Playlist_555/AaronNeville-CrazyLove.mp3", MediaFileType.Audio);

Out is : 270.242 seconds ==> 4:30
