I have an application and I need to block the ringtone and notification sounds/vibrations, and play a custom sound while the phone is in incoming call state.
The way I'm trying to do that is to set the ringer mode into silent mode, when my application starts:
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT)
It does mute the ringtone and notifcation sounds.
However, when I'm trying to play my custom sound when the phone is incoming call state, using the music stream:
MediaPlayer mp= MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.my_ringtone);
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mp.setLooping(false);
mp.start();
It doesn't work on some devices (one of them is LG G2).
I'm sure there is a way to solve this issue, because other applications/games do manage to play sounds when the ringtone/notifications is in vibration mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
So the another solution was you can play the ringtone here snippet given below
int volume = audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
if(volume==0)
volume = audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, volume,AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), Uri.parse(ringTonePath));
if(ringtone!=null){
ringtone.setStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
ringtone.play();
isRinging = true;
}
isRinging set as flag if you want to programatically stop the playing or you can check the by isPlaying() of ringtone to stop playing.

I'm creating a quiz app just for learning, and I've got a problem.
In my mainactivity I have a media player. It plays music even going through other activities, and I have a mute button to stop the music. I also have a sound effect when I successfully hit the right answer (on a question which is in other activity). But I don't know how to mute this SFX along with the background music when I press the mute button. Any hints? ;)
If it has a way to mute my entire application will be so good. I found some ways to mute, but this way will mute the entire system. And it's
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, false);
If you want to mute only the running apps sound, then you better do this:
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_file_1); //Use your mediaplayer instance instead of this. Also maintain a single instance of mediaplayer for the entire app.
mp.start();
For Mute
mp.setvolume(0,0);
& Unmute or full volume
mp.setvolume(0,1);
Reference:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setVolume(float, float)
You can just use AudioManager.setStreamMute(). Feel free to use the code below.
//mute audio
AudioManager amanager=(AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, true);
//unmute audio
AudioManager amanager=(AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, false);
Try this. It may be of help to you.
AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
manager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, 0, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
I play an audio file from a URL using MediaPlayer. The file plays fine, however after playback (if the app hasnt't been explicitly killed), alarm ringtone is silent. What do I need to clear/reset on end of playback to make this not happen?
Code for the file I am using to control the voicemail playback.

You can try getStreamVolume at start of playback then use setStreamVolume to set it back after your playback has finished.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html#setStreamVolume(int, int, int)
Ok have found something that works. Solves both the alarm issue and allows me to play the voicemail through the earpiece.
I needed to setMode back to what it was when I started, in onStop():
// set mode back to normal, and speakerphone back to true.
AudioManager am = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
am.setMode(prevMode);
am.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
and in init:
private void initMediaPlayer() {
// Make the media play through earpiece instead of through speaker(default)
AudioManager am = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
prevMode = am.getMode();
am.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION);
am.setSpeakerphoneOn(false);
Thanks #DreadfulWeather for leading me to this answer, with some helpful questions.
Change Sound of media player in android
I am trying to change sound of media player. Default sound in beep now wants to change the beep sound. I have checked AudioManager property but not change.
setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
I think this is what you might be interested in:
1, increase/decrease the volume of the sound: Link Here
Basically Override the onKeyDown and then call mp.setVolumn(float leftVolume,float rightVolume);
2, mute the sound if the phone was set to silent mode
AudioManager am = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
switch (am.getRingerMode()) {
case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT:
mp.setVolumn(0,0);
break;
｝
I want to override the silent mode and/or media volume to make the phone broadcast a loud noise. I know the alarm clock can override silent mode. How do you do this through your app?
Are you asking whether the Alarm Clock app can override silent mode or if code can override silent mode?
The code answer is yes, you can change the silent mode setting via code like this:
AudioManager audio = (AudioManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int currentVolume = audio.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
int max = audio.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);
audio.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
audio.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, max, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
I got another way, as the Tony's answer was worked but what happen it will change the profile suppose you put your device into the silent mode and app required to play any sound like alarm tone then it will change your profile silent to ringer mode and then again you need to put into silent mode. Am I right?
So the another solution was you can play the ringtone here snippet given below
int volume = audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
if(volume==0)
volume = audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, volume,AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), Uri.parse(ringTonePath));
if(ringtone!=null){
ringtone.setStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
ringtone.play();
isRinging = true;
}
isRinging set as flag if you want to programatically stop the playing or you can check the by isPlaying() of ringtone to stop playing
going through this I didn't change the current profile and no more code for that
Prey is an open source phone tracker app which does this as one if its features - if you don't get a better answer could have a look at the source to see how they did it.
The Android phones have a setting that allows you to force the notification volume to match the ringer volume, I can't seem to find that setting anywhere in SDK, can someone help me find out how to get and set it that specific setting?
You have to use setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_RING) in MediaPlayer Class
http://d.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setAudioStreamType(int)
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(...)
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();
