To retrieve the Ringtone object of the default ringtone, use the RingtoneManager:

Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI);

If the user has changed the default ringtone to a ringtone provided in a 3rd party messager app, AFAIK you can't access the new ringtone unless the 3rd party app exposes its ringtones via a ContentProvider.

For default notification sound :

String defaultPath = Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI.getPath();

If you are using the Notification.Builder or NotificationCompact.Builder classes, calling setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI) on the builder should do the trick.

That will play the default Notification tone that the user has picked when the system displays your notification.

The one that helped me is RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION).
