Android audiomanager - I want to set silent mode, but applied the priority mode (lollipop)

Question

My problem is occurs in android lollipop os.

I want to set 'silent mode', but lollipop os applies to 'priority mode'. (I use AudioManager) Is there any way I can apply the 'silent mode' instead of 'priority mode'?

My code :

AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

Due to changes in API try using the int value 0 instead of AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT

AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
mAudioManager.setRingerMode(0);

Also try checking your manifest file

<application>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
</application>

I had this issue on asus 5.o device , got resolved by replacing RINGER_MODE_SILENT with RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE. this might be strange but worked best for me .

AudioManager audiomanage = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    audiomanage.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE);
