Uri defaultRingtoneUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

try {
      mediaPlayer.setDataSource(context, defaultRingtoneUri);
      mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);
      mediaPlayer.prepare();
      mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {

         @Override
         public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp)
         {
            mp.release();
         }
      });
  mediaPlayer.start();
