Does anyone know of an app that lets you pick different sounds for the different types of notification? ie email, sms, gvoice, etc.
Thanks!

I know there are a number of profile-type applications but as far as I know these apps set profiles that change the alerts/vibrate options only for the default Android system-wide phone or notification ringtones.
I'm looking for an application that can change the alert tones for all my individual email accounts in the gmail app, google voice, the default email app, and the phone ringtone as well. Does any such application exist? At work, I've been leaving my phone on vibrate but I often don't feel the alerts and I can't differentiate b/t the type of alerts as they are all the same. I'm hoping to have a "work" profile that uses generic pager-type sounds so that I can hear the alerts as well as be able to differentiate what type they are--ie. which email accounts are getting new email or text messages which I'm more apt to respond to quickly. This work profile is separate from my usual alert sounds, which are musical in nature and not necessary professional or fitting in this environment whereas pager tones are much more common place in my place. I don't mind manually switching profiles, the application just needs to be able to change all of them at once via some type of widget.
Thanks!
I don't believe you can get quite as specific as individual email accounts, but you can set the notification sounds to be different for each of the apps (i.e. email vs gmail vs voice vs SMS). For instance, in both Voice and GMail apps, when you go into Settings, there is an option to "Select Ringtone" in the section for Notifications settings. There should be something similar in whichever SMS app you use (even the stock messaging app, IIRC) and possibly the EMail app (I only use GMail so can't say for sure, but I would imagine so)...
you can actually change the alert tone for each individual gmail account via the settings menu when you enter each account's inbox. regardless, i already know how to do this. what i want to know is if there is a profile program that can change ALL of these settings in one fell swoop that way i can change from a work setting to a normal setting via some sort of widget.
Can you have different notifications for a new email and text message?
Do you mean different audio notifications? I use Ringo Lite so that I can have different audio tones for text messages from different people, as well as to let me know when I have e-mails vs text messages, etc. Works fairly well. Only major complaint that I haven't bothered to figure out yet is that if I get an e-mail or text during a phone call I still get the vibration and sound (which can scare the crap out of you! lol)
Hope this helps.

DUH! I see, I just noticed the one under HOME SETTINGS, I see that is for the default. Thanks.
I want to use a different ringtone for sms/messages.
But the one I want to use doesn't come up in Settings.
What folder do I need to put that "ringtone" in?
It's currently in "ringtones", does it need to be in "notifications" Or somewhere else?
It should work if it's in notifications
thanks that doed it.

My mp3 will show up as selections. But when I receive a text, it plays one of the generic tone. Actually, doesn't matter what I select, it plays the same old tone.
Messages/Settings/Notifications/Received Messages/Notification Sound
SMS only notification
Is it possible to set up a separate notification for SMS.
Like most people, I want to know about SMS as soon as they arrive, its virtually a societal expectation at this stage! I can only seem to set event notifications, which is annoying, as these can go off in the middle of the night, eg emails, reminders of all day events etc.
if it IS possible to set a special SMS notifier, are there any sounds out there that mimic the urgency of the standard NOKIA tones, as opposed to the bland android ones?
mnt/sdcard/Notifications
is where the sound goes.
then as I said above for settings.
you could try Zedge for free sounds or search the interwebs for a sound you like.
Is there any way to have a custom text notification for individual contacts? Or if that;s NOT possible, is it possible to have a different tone for say, texts, emails, etc?
Thanks
For sms, get an app for that. I use chomp. Its ez.

Is there a way to change notification sounds. I would like notifications from different apps to have different sounds. I would like one sound for A notification from messages, a different sound if it is a notification from Reddit, and so on. I am running CRH1 On a R765A. Thanks for any help/suggestions.
