You can now do this by including the sound when building a notification rather than calling the sound separately     Define Notification Manager NotificationManager notificationManager    NotificationManager  context getSystemService Context NOTIFICATION SERVICE      Define sound URI Uri soundUri   RingtoneManager getDefaultUri RingtoneManager TYPE NOTIFICATION    NotificationCompat Builder mBuilder   new NotificationCompat Builder getApplicationContext             setSmallIcon icon           setContentTitle title           setContentText message           setSound soundUri     This sets the sound to play    Display notification notificationManager notify 0  mBuilder build

You can use Notification and NotificationManager to display the notification you want  You can then customize the sound you want to play with your notification

If you want a default notification sound to be played  then you can use setDefaults int  method of NotificationCompat Builder class   NotificationCompat Builder mBuilder           new NotificationCompat Builder this                   setSmallIcon R drawable ic notification                   setContentTitle getString R string app name                    setContentText someText                   setDefaults Notification DEFAULT SOUND                   setAutoCancel true     I believe that s the easiest way to accomplish your task

It s been a while since your question  but     Have you tried setting the Audio stream type   mp setAudioStreamType AudioManager STREAM NOTIFICATION     It must be done before prepare

I had pretty much the same question  After some research  I think that if you want to play the default system  notification sound   you pretty much have to display a notification and tell it to use the default sound  And there s something to be said for the argument in some of the other answers that if you re playing a notification sound  you should be presenting some notification message as well   However  a little tweaking of the notification API and you can get close to what you want  You can display a blank notification and then remove it automatically after a few seconds  I think this will work for me  maybe it will work for you   I ve created a set of convenience methods in com globalmentor android app Notifications java which allow you create a notification sound like this   Notifications notify this     The LED will also flash and  if you have vibrate permission  a vibration will occur  Yes  a notification icon will appear in the notification bar but will disappear after a few seconds   At this point you may realize that  since the notification will go away anyway  you might as well have a scrolling ticker message in the notification bar  you can do that like this   Notifications notify this  5000   This text will go away after five seconds       There are many other convenience methods in this class  You can download the whole library from its Subversion repository and build it with Maven  It depends on the  globalmentor-core library  which can also be built and installed with Maven

If anyone s still looking for a solution to this  I found an answer at How to play ringtone alarm sound in Android  try       Uri notification   RingtoneManager getDefaultUri RingtoneManager TYPE NOTIFICATION       Ringtone r   RingtoneManager getRingtone getApplicationContext    notification       r play      catch  Exception e        e printStackTrace        You can change TYPE NOTIFICATION to TYPE ALARM  but you ll want to keep track of your Ringtone r in order to stop playing it    say  when the user clicks a button or something

I think the concept of  notification sound  is someway wrong for Android UI   The Android expected behaviour is to use the standard Notification to alert the user  If you play a notification sound without the status bar icon  you get the user confused   what was that sound  there is no icon here  maybe I have hearing problems      How to set sound on a notification is  for example  here  Setting sound for notification
