How to get ringtone preference at runtime?

Question

i have the following xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Ringtone preference" android:key="ringtone_option_preference">
    <RingtonePreference 
    android:key="ring_tone_pref"
    android:title="Set Ringtone Preference"
    android:showSilent="true"
    android:ringtoneType="notification"
    android:summary="Set Ringtone"/>
 </PreferenceScreen>

And i want every time a notification is about to show, to look at the value of the ringtone and beep accordingly :)...To be more precise my notifications are generated in a broadcastReceiver class and each time the receiver catches something it creates a new notification...I just want the ringtone of the notification to change based on the ringtone set in the preferences..

How can I do that?

Thanks

Mike

Nevermind I found it:

 SharedPreferences preference = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
 String strRingtonePreference = preference.getString("ring_tone_pref", "DEFAULT_SOUND");        
 notification.sound = Uri.parse(strRingtonePreference);
