I want different notifications for different events, e.g. for SMS I want one sound and vibrate function, for YMail and GMail I want a different sound and no vibrate. I tried Rings Extended, but that just takes the existing settings a step further by allowing music or sounds to be added. It doesn't distinguish between different events.

I need to know if there is any way or if there is an app to select sender specific notifications ringtones.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add custom notifications to my G1.
I have created the audio as .ogg files uploaded them to a folder on the root of my sd card '/notifications' and can view them from the Settings > Sound & Display > Notification activity.
My problem is they all sound the same! (something like a short ringing sound).
I can play them through the ASTRO file manager and they sound as they do on my PC. I am stumped... perhaps anyone can help me to figure out why this is? I have tried converting to a few different formats (wav, mp3, etc) and using them but nothing seems to work.
Are following touch events supported by android platform or we have to implement them?
Touch event - Used to focus an item Tap - Execute action when finger is released Tap and hold - Long tap for some timeout Double tap - Tap twice without much delay Flick - Touch, hold, move and release quick Drag n drop - Touch, hold and drag Touch and move - Touch, hold, move and release in straight line
I want to have a different alert tone or ringtone for different types of notifications: a different one for texts, for emails, and for voicemails. I have been able to do this with just about every other type of phone I've had in the past; I can't understand why these more expensive, more technologically advanced phones dump them all into one category ("Set as notification tone"). Am I missing something here? Is there an app I need or a setting on the phone I'm not seeing?
Just to be clear, I care less about whether I can use customized ringtones for these alerts than just being able to distinguish between when I'm getting a text or an email. And if it helps to know, I have a Samsung Moment and my husband has a HTC Hero, and we are both having this problem.
My only complaint about the Droid is the seeming lack of options for notifications.
Is there a way, or an app, that would allow you to assign different notifications to emails vs texts vs missed calls?
Also, does anyone know if there's a way to set the phone to re-notify you periodically if you have a notification that has not been looked at? I tend to leave my phone sitting on my desk at work and would like it to let me know if I missed a call or text while I was away from my desk.
Ideally I'd like to silence email notifications, but have text and missed call notifications with unique ring tones for each, and I'd like the phone to renotify me every 10 minutes or so if I have a text or missed call waiting for me.
How do I get my custom ringtones from rooted media folder to show up in selection menus?
I am rooted and have successfully copied .ogg .wav or .mp3 ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones, notifications or alarms folders. I can even play them from those folders on press.
My hassle is I am not able to select these as my tones. They don't show up in the menus. I want them in the root because if I am connected to my pc and an email/text/call comes in that is assigned a Custom tone on sd, then my tones revert back to a default tone and I have to reset them all when i disconnect from pc
Wonder if anyone come across a droid calendar with similar event repeat function as those calendars in WinMo phones.
The particular function I am looking for is to customize the event repeat interval in terms of number of weeks or days (eg repeat every 3 weeks or 5 days etc).
Currently I don't see such function in the google calendar so I figure most droid calendars out there also do not have such function.
I need to set up a simple event listener to refresh a listview from once in a while. The problem is I don't know how could I generate an event.
I know that for events like key or button pressing I just need to implement the handler. But in this specific case I actually need to generate the event, which will be fired everytime another running thread of my app wakes up and refreshes it's list of news from a rss feed.
I've done everything, but got stucked in here. Can I get any suggestion or link with some more info on how to implement this?
I have a ListView whose rows are formatted by me. Each row has a mix of ImageView and TextView. I have also implemented my own adapter and am able to draw each row through it.
Now, I would want something like this-
User clicks on an ImageView (not anywhere else on the row, but only this ImageView should respond to clicks)
I get to know the position of the row whose ImageView was clicked.
I have tried many things for this and have wanted my code to be as efficient as possible (in terms of overkill).
Currently i can capture the click event on that particular ImageView only, but I can't know which row was clicked.
I have provided an attribute in the Row XML like this-
CODE:..................
And in my code, I have a method like this:
CODE:..............
I can get the parent row (perhaps) but am not sure how to go further from here.
One issue that I can't seem to remember being a problem on my G1 is that I can still hear notifications while music, video, or the FM Radio is being played back. Obviously, I can't really test the FM Radio bit on my G1, but I'm certain that this wasn't an issue when playing music or watching videos (including YouTube). It wouldn't be much of a problem if the notification didn't completely mute the sound of whatever else I'm doing for however long it plays. Anyone else notice this? Is there a work around I'm not seeing in the settings?
View 1 Replies View Relatedis there some application that can manage the notification for each app, i can chose for which application i want to be notified by a ringtone/vibrate for example i don't what to know about the Facebook notifications, but i want it to vibrate when i receive a whatsapp or email notification.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I would really enjoy the ability to customize the sound for plugging my phone in, and a different one for unplugging. Even better if these could be "outside" the default notification sounds. I realize this sounds crazy, but my phone has a mario theme to it, and the plug in is "gain a mushroom" sound, and I would love it if it did the "loose a powerup" sound when I unplugged.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing the Captivate coming from a BB Bold. One thing I loved about my bold was how I was able to customize notifications; email was only indicated by the LED light, SMS vibrated, phone vibrated then rang, and additionally, I had unique notification settings for certain contacts (ie, my wife). Is there a way to do any of the above? Especially looking for a way to keep email notification silent but have SMS vibrate.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo on my Galaxy s4 I know how to set up a custom sms/mms tone for individual contacts. HOWEVER they are always the same tones listed. When I create or download any notification sound it won't show up on the list when I try to make it a custom but it will show for my default list. Apparently I did it somehow because one of my notification tones I created appeared on the list but that's it. How to add to that list?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently become somewhat irritated by Words With Friends' notifications, due to the fact they have a rather ugly layout IMO. I would much rather they just displayed like every other notification. Any way to achieve this? (I don't mind modifying the APK or whatever if necessary)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got duplicate ringtones in the phone and notifications menu settings. These ringtones were acquired from marketplace apps and saved. For instance, I have two 'Hello sir C3PO', three 'Incoming transmission', two 'Resistance is futile', and five 'You belong with me'. That's what I get for letting the kids play.
Anyway, I have removed the apps, but, I cannot find the files to remove the duplicates from the menu list. I've checked the /system/media/audio files and checked the SD card and cannot find them.
I have a custom layout that I have written that basically just displays a bunch of Image Views. I am handing on Touch events for all the Image Views in my layout. However, if a user touches one image View and then drags over another Image View, I would like to be able to handle that as well. How would I go about capturing this behavior?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI looked around and couldn't seem to find the information I was seeking in one place but found it on various forums. I thought I would put it here in case others need it or are looking for it. I was trying to add custom mp3 tones to my alarm clock, gmail, sms, etc., but I couldn't get the phone to recognize anything. In the end this is what I did to make it work:
I plugged the phone into my PC using the "usb storage device" option upon connection. I created a folder in the root directory called Tones (probably anything will work as a name) and then created 3 folders inside called Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms. Anything in those folders will show up only in that app.
In other words, if you want a custom Alarm, you will need an Alarms folder and an mp3 or two. If you have a custom ringtone, you will need to put it in the Ringtones folder and so on. I got a bunch from the Zedge website but I've made a few of my own such as Halo Chant among others.
I know how to get different sounds for text and phone, you go right to the app, but what about Ebay? There is only a place to enablenot change the ringtone. I'm looking for help or an app that'll let me do it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work in IT and would like to setup custom notifications based the Subject line for an email or SMS message. For example, I may want the phone on vibrate but have any email/SMS with the string "CRITICAL" (case sensitive) in the subject use a loud alert sound and repeat every 2 min until I acknowledge or read the email. The closest thing I could find was having handcent do a custom notification on the SMS sender's number, but it lacks the repeat options. Anyone know of an app that can do this?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi would love to see an app that you can record custom notifications that would convert the recorded sounds to emulate the "DROOOID" sound, like say "GMAIL" when you get an email, or whatever notifications you have on your phone. yeah, I could record things at work, distort them to sound similar, but a downloadable app on the phone would be AWESOME!
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how I can get custom alarm notifications WITHOUT a 3rd party program? I tried adding a "Ringtones" folder to my SD card and dropping an MP3 in but it isn't found under ringtones. I'd really like to be able to get some louder tones for the Alarm.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am very new to Android (using non-rooted LG Nexus 5) and am having a great problem finding a feature that I depended on regularly with my Blackberry.
I occasionally receive an email from an automated server that indicates an emergency with one of the systems I manage. In Blackberry, I had setup a custom notification based on the email source address, and it would play a custom ringtone (Star Trek Red Alert) at top volume whenever a email from that contact was received. Android only allows custom "ringtones" on a per-contact basis, but these ringtones are only used for phone calls. There is no similar setting for SMS/MMS or Email messages that I can find on Android. I think it is strange that it is not part of the base functionality -- I am beginning to suspect it is a patent issue and it never will be added.
I can't find a good third-party application to provide this additional feature for email.I have tried several and found none adequate (for example, they fail with "Unfortunately has stopped.", they create separate connections to email servers and suck the battery dry, or they are built for SMS/MMS only).
I've downloaded some custom ringtones and notification tones onto my SF. However, they all end up in the music player. I don't want to hear my ringtones and notification tones while I'm going through all my music... Does anyone know how to get keep these custom ringtones and notification tones out of my Music Player?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI programmed (in the "Settings") to have a custom ringtone (the Kimmunicator ringtone for Kim Possible) for notifications. However, it only vibrates when I get a text message. Also, the sounds only happens at random times, when I have NO notifications. It really bothers me. I want my Droid to give off the notification ringtone only when I have notifications, not when I don't have them.
