I\'m trying to get a default vibrate and sound alert when my notification comes in, but so far no luck. I imagine it\'s something to do with the way I set the defaults, but
An extension to TeeTracker's answer,
to get the default notification sound you can do as follows
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify)
.setContentTitle("Device Connected")
.setContentText("Click to monitor");
Uri alarmSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
builder.setSound(alarmSound);
This will give you the default notification sound.
