Android Notification, Vibrates But No Sound

I've read some of the other posts on this subject and I think my code should be sounding an alarm, but it's not. It does vibrate, but no sound. Any suggestions on how to get this

Solution 1:

Try this:

Notification.Builder mBuilder = new Notification.Builder(this)
                .setContentTitle("NotificationDemo")
                .setContentText("NotificatinDemo")
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
                .setVibrate(pattern)
                .setContentIntent(pIntent);

Notification myNote = mBuilder.build();

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
    myNote.sound = sound;
    myNote.category = Notification.CATEGORY_ALARM;

    AudioAttributes.Builder attrs = new AudioAttributes.Builder();
    attrs.setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_SONIFICATION);
    attrs.setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_ALARM);
    myNote.audioAttributes = attrs.build();
} else  {
    mBuilder.setSound(sound, AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
    myNote = mBuilder.build();
}

myNM.notify(1, myNote);

Solution 2:

First Check your device notification sound settings.

Then try this

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
        new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
                .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
                .setContentText(someText)
                .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
                .setAutoCancel(true);

Solution 3:

Try this code

Notification myNote = new Notification.Builder(this)
            .setContentTitle("NotificationDemo")
            .setContentText("NotificatinDemo")
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
            .setSound(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
            .setVibrate(pattern)
            .setContentIntent(pIntent)
            .build();
