Android Notification Sound Not Ringing From Internal Memory


History: I download Ringtone from web server, if SD card is mounted i saved that file to SD Card path like, mnt/sdcard/.my_folder_name/abc.mp3 ELSE saved to internal memory using context.getFilesDir() like, data/data/my.package.name/abc.mp3

PROBLEM: I'm firing Android Notification in Notification Bar, Notification is working fine but the problem occurs when i set NOTIFICATION SOUND URI from internal memory, it Doesn't play sound.

IN CASE OF EXTERNAL STORAGE, WORKS FINE and SOUNDS PLAYS

ringtoneUri = Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/.my_folder_name/abc.mp3");

notification.sound = ringtoneUri;         

notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

notification.audioStreamType = AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION;

notificationManager.notify(1, notification);



IN CASE OF INTERNAL STORAGE, DOESn't Play SOUNDS PLAYS i checked the file, it exists there

ringtoneUri = Uri.parse(context.getFilesDir().getPath()+"/abc.mp3");

// data/data/my.package.name/files/abc.mp3

notification.sound = ringtoneUri;         

notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

notification.audioStreamType = AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION;

notificationManager.notify(1, notification);


Am i Doing something Wrong???

The problem is that, Internal Storage is not supported to Use by NOTIFICATIONS. You need to add public permission to that Audio File. 

File file = new File(context.getFilesDir().getPath()+"/abc.mp3");
file.setReadable(true, false);
ringtoneUri = Uri.parse(context.getFilesDir().getPath()+"/abc.mp3");
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notification.audioStreamType = AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION;
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);

...

I would check permissions. Each application is a user. Do all users have the right to read the file (and probably the enclosing folder[s])?
