Generation and detection of tones

I am looking for a successful method to identify self-generated sounds.

My idea is to spend even two different sounds over stereo. The two tones differ in their frequency. The tones I turn then back on a self-made cables for the microphone. The cable has two switches, which switches between the left or the right channel.

I want to note which of the two frequencies arrived at the microphone input, and then count them.

I've tried many things, but nothing brought the desired success. Well, I came across DTMF, but the implementation in Android is insufficient.

Does anyone have any idea what I can try next?

You can use FSK modulation and demodulation. You don't need an FFT, as this can be done more simply by narrow-band DSP filters (a couple of Goertzel filters), or quadrature demodulators.

You need to take the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the input audio. What you would need to do is capture a short window of audio, run an FFT, and then analyze the result. FFTs are a bit a complicated if you're not familiar with them, but it's possible to count and measure tones, provided that they're sufficiently separated in frequency.
