How to add sound to notification?

Question

How do you add sound to a notification created by NotificationCompat.Builder? I created a raw folder in res and added the sound there. So how do I now add it to notification? This is my Notification code

    int NOTIFY_ID=100;     Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, Notification.class);     PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);      NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =             new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)             .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)             .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification)             .setContentTitle("Warning")             .setContentText("Help!")      NotificationManager mgr = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);     mgr.notify(NOTIFY_ID, mBuilder.build());

I'm guessing the problem here is how to reference the sound with a Uri, as there is an obvious method in the NotificationCompat.Builder class - setSound(Uri soundUri).

To access your raw resources you need to create the Uri as follows:

android.resource://[PACKAGE_NAME]/[RESOURCE_ID]

So the code could end up looking like that:

Uri sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.notifysnd); mBuilder.setSound(sound);
