If you don't call setSound(uri) with NotificationBuilder, the sound won't play. Eg. The following would play the default sound for notification:

Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager
                .getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
                this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .setContentTitle("title")
                .setSound(alarmSound);

Just remove ".setSound(alarmSound)" and it won't play the sound, like:

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
                this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .setContentTitle("title");

Hope i got the question right(?)

where is the default set? in device settings by the user? it sounds strange that we can override the user choise – Elad Benda May 21 '14 at 10:36
We arent setting the sound so it wont make one, need to check if the behaviour is different at an O.S. version level – Pararth May 21 '14 at 10:37
so how can we play default sound? who choose what is default? – Elad Benda May 21 '14 at 10:39
Default is what the mobile user has set, like the tone for messages, the part of code above with 'alarmSound' fetches the default uri – Pararth May 21 '14 at 10:46
