[android] Android Notification Sound

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());  

This question is related to android android-notifications

The answer is


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

public static void vibrate(Context context, int millis){
    try {
        Vibrator v = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            v.vibrate(VibrationEffect.createOneShot(millis, VibrationEffect.DEFAULT_AMPLITUDE));
        } else {
            v.vibrate(millis);
        }
    }catch(Exception ex){
    }
}

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);

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.


Just put the below simple code :

notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://"
        + context.getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.sound_file);

For Default Sound:

notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

by Notification.builder class instance (builder) that is given below you can play default sound on notification:

builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);

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;

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.


// set notification audio (Tested upto android 10)

builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
//OR 
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);

Button btn;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_user);

    btn= findViewById(R.id.btn); 

   btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            notification();
        }
    });
  }   



private void notification() {
    NotificationCompat.Builder builder= new 
    NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
    builder.setAutoCancel(true);
    builder.setContentTitle("Work Progress");
    builder.setContentText("Submit your today's work progress");
    builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_email_black_24dp);
    Intent intent=new Intent(this, WorkStatus.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent= PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 1, intent, 
    PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
    builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE);
    builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);

    NotificationManager notificationManager= (NotificationManager) 
    getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    notificationManager.notify(1, builder.build());
}

It is complete notification with sound and vibrates


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);

private void showNotification() {

    // intent triggered, you can add other intent for other actions
    Intent i = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, i, 0);

    //Notification sound
    try {
        Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
        Ringtone r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), notification);
        r.play();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    // this is it, we'll build the notification!
    // in the addAction method, if you don't want any icon, just set the first param to 0
    Notification mNotification = null;
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {

        mNotification = new Notification.Builder(this)

           .setContentTitle("Wings-Traccar!")
           .setContentText("You are punched-in for more than 10hrs!")
           .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.wingslogo)
           .setContentIntent(pIntent)
           .setVibrate(new long[] { 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000 })
           .addAction(R.drawable.favicon, "Goto App", pIntent)
           .build();

    }

    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    // If you want to hide the notification after it was selected, do the code below
    // myNotification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

    notificationManager.notify(0, mNotification);
}

call this function wherever you want. this worked for me


notification.sound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);

Another way for the default sound

builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND);

In Android OREO or later version enter image description here 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 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


USE Can Codeding

 String en_alert, th_alert, en_title, th_title, id;
 int noti_all, noti_1, noti_2, noti_3, noti_4 = 0, Langage;

 class method
 Intent intent = new Intent(context, ReserveStatusActivity.class);
 PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);

 NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);


 intent = new Intent(String.valueOf(PushActivity.class));
 intent.putExtra("message", MESSAGE);
 TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(context);
 stackBuilder.addParentStack(PushActivity.class);
 stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent);
 // PendingIntent pendingIntent =
 stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

 //      android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();

 // .setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_alert)  ???????
 //

 .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_title))

    .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(th_alert))

    .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
    .setNumber(++numMessages)


    .build();

 notification.sound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

 notificationManager.notify(1000, notification);
