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

I make this static function in HelperClass.java

    public static void givenotification(Context context,String message) {
         NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

         Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, DesireActivity.class);
         PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);

         Notification notification = new Notification();
         NotificationCompat.Builder builder;
         builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context);

         notification = builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            .setTicker(context.getString(R.string.app_name)).setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
            .setAutoCancel(true).setContentTitle(context.getString(R.string.app_name))
            .setContentText(message).build();
         notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + context.getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.kalimba);
         notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
     }

Then any Activity like in MainActivity HelperClass.givenotification(MainActivity.this,"Your Notification Message"); OR in fragment HelperClass.givenotification(getActivity(),"Your Notification Message");

Hope this help someone.
