Android Notification Sound

Question

I've used the newer NotificationCompat builder and I can't get the notification to make a sound. It will vibrate and flash the light. The android documentation says to set a style which I've done with:

builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle());

But no sound?

The full code:

NotificationCompat.Builder builder =  
        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)  
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)  
        .setContentTitle("Notifications Example")  
        .setContentText("This is a test notification");  


Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MenuScreen.class);  

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent,   
        PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);  

builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);  
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setLights(Color.BLUE, 500, 500);
long[] pattern = {500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500};
builder.setVibrate(pattern);
builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle());
// Add as notification  
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);  
manager.notify(1, builder.build());

builder.setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI) should also work — Zar E Ahmer, Jun 20 '16 at 09:12

What was missing from my previous code:

Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
builder.setSound(alarmSound);

Just put your sound file in the Res\raw\siren.mp3 folder, then use this code:

For Custom Sound:

Notification notification = builder.build();
notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://"
            + context.getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.siren);

For Default Sound:

notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

For Custom Vibrate:

long[] vibrate = { 0, 100, 200, 300 };
notification.vibrate = vibrate;

For Default Vibrate:

notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;

On Oreo (Android 8) and above it should be done for custom sound in this way (notification channels):

Uri soundUri = Uri.parse(
                         "android.resource://" + 
                         getApplicationContext().getPackageName() +
                         "/" + 
                         R.raw.push_sound_file);

AudioAttributes audioAttributes = new AudioAttributes.Builder()
            .setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_SONIFICATION)
            .setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_ALARM)
            .build();

// Creating Channel
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("YOUR_CHANNEL_ID",
                                                      "YOUR_CHANNEL_NAME",
                                                      NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
channel.setSound(soundUri, audioAttributes);

((NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE))
                                           .createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);

You have to use RingtoneManager

private static final int MY_NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
    private NotificationManager notificationManager;
    private Notification myNotification;

    private final String myBlog = "http://niravranpara.blogspot.com/";

Code for noficationmanager with alarm ringtone you can also set ring tone RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE

notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
                Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri
                        .parse(myBlog));
                  PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(MainActivity.this, 0, myIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                    Notification note = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher, "Alarm", System.currentTimeMillis());
                    note.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), "Alarm", "sound" + " (alarm)", pi);
                    Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
                    if(alarmSound == null){
                        alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);
                        if(alarmSound == null){
                            alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
                        }
                    }
                    note.sound = alarmSound;
                    note.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
                    note.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
                    notificationManager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, note);

Sorry this isn't how you do it for the newer NotificationCompat.Builder. — James MV, Apr 06 '13 at 20:05
Notification can be created with NotificationCompat.Builder.build() function and it's OK to take the return value of build() and modify its values before passing to NotificationManager.notify. It doesn't make much sense, but it's perfectly OK. — holgac, Jun 23 '13 at 15:08

You can make a function:

public void playNotificationSound() 
{
    try
    {

        Uri alarmSound = `Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" + MyApplication.getInstance().getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + "/raw/notification");`
        Ringtone r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(MyApplication.getInstance().getApplicationContext(), alarmSound);
        r.play();
    }
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Call this function when you receive notification.

Here raw is the folder in res and the notification is the sound file in raw folder.

In Android OREO or later version After Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance or other notification behaviors after this of same Channel (Before Uninstalling App)

private void createNotificationChannel() {
    // Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
    // the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        CharSequence name = getString(R.string.channel_name);
        String description = getString(R.string.channel_description);
        int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
        NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
        channel.setDescription(description);
        // Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
        // or other notification behaviors after this
        NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
    }
}

channel.setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI,audioAttributes);

Priority also matters Most Here Set Notification Priority to high by using

User-visible importance level Importance (Android 8.0 and higher)

1)Urgent Makes a sound and appears as a heads-up notification-->IMPORTANCE_HIGH
2)High Makes a sound -->IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
3)Medium No sound -->IMPORTANCE_LOW
4)Low No sound and does not appear in the status bar->IMPORTANCE_MIN

same works in same order Priority (Android 7.1 and lower)

1)PRIORITY_HIGH or PRIORITY_MAX

2)PRIORITY_DEFAULT

3)PRIORITY_LOW

4)PRIORITY_MIN

"*you can't change the importance or other notification behaviors after this of same Channel*". Needed to uninstall app to make work, this action deleted channel's info from device as result. — Ely Dantas, Jun 13 '19 at 01:11

You have to use builder.setSound

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity.class);  

                PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(MainActivity.this, 0, notificationIntent,   
                        PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);  

                builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);  
                builder.setAutoCancel(true);
                builder.setLights(Color.BLUE, 500, 500);
                long[] pattern = {500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500};
                builder.setVibrate(pattern);
                builder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle());
                 Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);
                    if(alarmSound == null){
                        alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);
                        if(alarmSound == null){
                            alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
                        }
                    }

                // Add as notification  
                NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);  
             builder.setSound(alarmSound);
                manager.notify(1, builder.build());

1st put "yourmp3file".mp3 file in the raw folder(ie inside Res folder)

2nd in your code put..

Notification noti = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSound(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + v.getContext().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.yourmp3file))//*see note

This is what i put inside my onClick(View v) as only "context().getPackageName()" wont work from there as it wont get any context

Don't depends on builder or notification. Use custom code for vibrate.

Several answers discuss the use of NotificationChannel.setSound() for Oreo (Android 8, api 26) and above, and that once a channel is created, it cannot be changed.

What I hadn't realised it that when AndroidStudio runs your app and performs an "Install" step, it appears not to uninstall the previous version and its NotificationChannel first. Hence, changing something (e.g. the sound) and simply re-running will not work. You need to explicitly uninstall the app first, before running it again.

    val notificationManager = createNotificationChannel()
    val notification = NotificationCompat.Builder(applicationContext, "CHANNEL_ID")

        .setLargeIcon(downloadLogo)

    notification.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
    notificationManager.notify(0, notification.build())
}

You can do the following:

MediaPlayer mp;
mp =MediaPlayer.create(Activity_Order_Visor_Atender.this, R.raw.ok);         
mp.start();

You create a packages between your resources with the name of raw and there you keep your sounds then you just call it.
