iOS have everything sandboxed so apps do not mess around with data of other apps. A little while back it was absolutely impossible for 2 of your own apps to share some information with each other. iOS 8 has changed that by Inter-App Communication but not to the extent where you want it. Even in iOS 8, the recepient app has to provide the functionality and should handle your incoming request to see what music they are playing.

Your better course of action would be look up if Pandora or Spotify have some API which let's users login, and share their listening history with your app.
