Custom notification sound , android Oreo?

Question

I want to set a custom notification sound from a raw mp3 or wav file in my app. Below is my code

private void sendMyNotification(String message) {
    Intent intent;
    if (sharedPreferences.getBoolean(SPConstants.IS_LOGGED_IN, false)) {
        intent = new Intent(this, ActivityNotification.class);
    } else {
        intent = new Intent(this, ActivitySplash.class);
    }
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
    Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
    soundUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.panic);
    AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    manager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 100, 0);
    NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
            .setContentText(message)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setSound(soundUri)
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        NotificationChannel mChannel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, channelName, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(mChannel);
    }
    notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());
}

The panic audio file resides in res->raw. I have tried to use both mp3 and wav formats of the sound but nothing seems to work to set the notification sound. I am currently testing on Pixel 2 OS 8.1.

Any suggestions what could be the issue?

Hmmm. I was facing the similar issue. The only solutions that I have found were to give a possibility to set it by OS notification channel settings. It is because of once you create a notification channel you cannot change its settings programmatically (but maybe I have done it wrong). If you will find any other solution I would love to know how to fix this. — Patryk Jabłoński, Jun 25 '18 at 18:25
@PatrykJabłoński below answer by Khaled does seems to work only if you have not setContentIntent. — WISHY, Jun 26 '18 at 02:51
I will definitely check it, but in my case, I use `setContentIntent`. Thanks for notifying me :) — Patryk Jabłoński, Jun 26 '18 at 06:28
@PatrykJabłoński Yes that's the same issue with me as well. I am also using setContentIntent but does not work in that case. — WISHY, Jun 26 '18 at 07:11
hmmm, I am just wondering if this is not an OS bug. `setContentIntent` has nothing to do with notification sound/vibration settings in my opinion. I will take a look at that because this might be a thing that should be reported to the Google — Patryk Jabłoński, Jun 26 '18 at 07:23

Tested blow code and worked with me as expected.

Add Content intent and that still working without any issues with me.

private void sendMyNotification(String message) {

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

Uri soundUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.correct_answer);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, "CH_ID")
        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
        .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
        .setContentText(message)
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .setSound(soundUri)
        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

    if(soundUri != null){
        // Changing Default mode of notification
        notificationBuilder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
        // Creating an Audio Attribute
        AudioAttributes audioAttributes = new AudioAttributes.Builder()
                .setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_SONIFICATION)
                .setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_ALARM)
                .build();

        // Creating Channel
        NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel("CH_ID","Testing_Audio",NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
        notificationChannel.setSound(soundUri,audioAttributes);
        mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
    }
}
mNotificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());
}

Update

You may need uninstall the app to alter sound settings, Check out these link for more details.

if you set content intent to notification builder then this code does not work – WISHY Jun 26 '18 at 02:50
@WISHY Updated my answer with `setContentIntent(pendingIntent)` and still working with me, You may need uninstall the app to alter sound settings, Check out these [link](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications#ManageChannels) for more details. – Khaled Lela Jun 27 '18 at 07:36

Simple answer:

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);

Late but might be helpful to some one, just add below line in your NotificationCompat.Builder() instance:

.setSound("your sound uri",AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION)

Note: As NotificationCompat.Builder() is backward compatible , so AudioAttributes etc in notification channel is not required
