Answer 1

For getting active alarms, there is no work-around yet, but to get the list of alarms - use the RingtoneManager, which has access to alarm tones, ringtones & notification sounds.

1. To launch the default intent of user selecting an alarm, you can launch an implicit intent like so:

private void selectAlarmTone(){
    Intent intent = new Intent(RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER);
    intent.putExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_TYPE, RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM); //Incase you want the user to set a notification use => RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION, ringtone use => RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE
    intent.putExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_TITLE, "Select an alarm tone");
    intent.putExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_EXISTING_URI, (Uri) null);
    startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
}

and to get the alarm that the user has selected use from onActivityResult:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final
Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == 1) {
        Uri selectedUri = data.getParcelableExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI);

        Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(this, selectedUri);
        String title = ringtone.getTitle(this);
        Log.i("ALARM_SELECTED: ", title);
    }
}

2. Incase you want to get the list of the tones programmatically, use:

public void listAlarmtones() {
    RingtoneManager ringtoneManager = new RingtoneManager(this);
    ringtoneManager.setType(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
    Cursor cursor = ringtoneManager.getCursor();

      while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        String title = cursor.getString(RingtoneManager.TITLE_COLUMN_INDEX);
        String uri = String.valueOf(ringtoneManager.getRingtoneUri(cursor.getPosition()));

        String alarmTone = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("title"));

        Log.e("ALARM_TONE: ", title + "=>" + uri + "=>" + alarmTone);
      }
}
