How to set notification with custom sound in android

Question

I copied the mp3 (kalimba.mp3) file into the raw folder in the res folder. But when the notification is triggered it produces the default sound.

Answer 1

You should replace this line:

notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example.serviceproject/" + R.raw.kalimba);

with this:

notification.setSound(Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/kalimba"));

or in some cases:

notification.sound = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/kalimba");
