Answer 1

I have an option in my app to play a sound when the user is in a phone call. What you have to do is use the media player to play the sound. Here is my code:

if(callStateIdle){
    notification.sound = Uri.parse(notificationSound);
}else{
    new playNotificationMediaFileAsyncTask().execute(notificationSound);                    
}

Here is the Async Task:

private static class playNotificationMediaFileAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {

    protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null;
        try{
            mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
            mediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
            mediaPlayer.setDataSource(_context,  Uri.parse(params[0]));
            mediaPlayer.prepare();
            mediaPlayer.start();
            mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener(){
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                    mediaPlayer.release();
                    mediaPlayer = null;
                }
            }); 
            return null;
        }catch(Exception ex){
            Log.e("ERROR: " + ex.toString());
            mediaPlayer.release();
            mediaPlayer = null;
            return null;
        }
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        //Do Nothing
    }

}

This has worked well for me so far.

Answer 2

Try using RingtoneManager. The following worked for me: RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION)).play();

Now - the only easy way I found is using...
