How to Set Custom Notification Ringtone in Android
Android Devices are rolled out widely in the world. In Android devices there is no easy option to set a custom or own notification ringtone. But, we can make a custom notification ringtone manually. Here is a Guide to set a own custom notification ringtone.
How to Set Own Custom Notification Ringtone in Android:
- First thing is, you need to create a folder in Memory SD card. So, you can use Astro,ES File Manager or any other for this process.
- Open any File manager go to the SD card, and create new folder named as “media“(without quotes).
- And open the media folder, and create another new folder named as “audio“.
- Then open the audio folder and again create 2 new folders. One is “notifications” and another one is “ringtones“.
- It must be in this path- SDcard> media> audio> notifications
- After the above process move the tone that you want to set as notification ringtone to the notifications folder.
- You can also use the ringtones folder to set the ringtones.
- After that, go to Settings> Sound> Notification Ringtone.
- Now you can see the custom tone that you moved earlier to the notifications folder.
If the moved tone is not there, then restart your phone. Then check the ringtones settings. The file will be there and just select it click ok.

That workaround for “fooling” adroid into finding notification sounds in a manually created media>audio>notifications on the external SD card is absolutely brilliant! Whew! Saved my fanny! I did NOT want to root my brand new samsung galaxy note 2 (I’m a big chicken) to be able to write to the /system folder. I NEVER would have guessed that ‘droid would “find” another user-made alternate path! You have been the Android Golden Goose that layed the Golden Android Egg today. I will remember that little trick for the rest of my life. I have been “learning” linux/unix since 1996, and never suspected I could create another alternate path for the opsys to find. You have my utmost appreciation and admiration! Short answer: Thank You. Live long and prosper!
