I've been searching around the web and have not found an answer to this problem. Regardless of the phone being on silent, vibrate, or even do not disturb, text notifications still interrupt the music that is playing. It happens with Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify.
I downloaded a couple apps to manage media and notification volumes individually, but one didn't work at all, and the other simply muted the notification but the music still lowers for a second, as if the notification is still occuring.
Can anyone help me out? This is quite frustrating.
Please, and thank you for your time.
Update: I noticed this only occurs with a headset plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. When using the phone's speakers for music playback, notifications do not interrupt the music.
Workaround: I managed to find a slightly more bearable solution. Here is basically what I did.
1 - Download third party texting app for play store.
2 - Assign new text app as default.
3 - Go to Settings -> Apps, find stock messaging app, and disable all notification settings.
4 - Modify new text app notifications to vibrate only.
I don't know if some of these steps are excessive/unnecessary, but I'm tired of tinkering around so much, so I'm settling here. I hope this can help someone that finds themselves in the same situation. Again, I do not claim this to be the best solution; just slightly less bad.

Most of the time I like having the notification ringtone ding when i get an email or text message. however, it is annyoing when listening to music because it completely stops the music, beeps, then it continues to play.
anyway to disable it during the music playing or have it do it "ontop" of the background audio?
i'd hate to have to editsettings and disable it everytime i decide to listen to a song or two. then do settings and enable when i'm done.
I get so many emails it may do it 3 or 4 times in each song.. so annoying!

using the application "tasker" you could probably make profile that sets your notification sounds to silent and vibrate while music is playing and then set the volume back up when you close the music app.
Hello!
I was wondering if there is an app that would allow to play a notification sound until the notification is checked. I get a default, short sound for my calendar notifications which I often miss so I want something that plays a sound or repeats the notification sound until I check the event. It's for the HTC EVO 4G.
I've tried searching around and tried apps like "missed call" but I have not found a solution to works on the calendar.
The closest app I found is called "calendar snooze" but instead of playing the notification sound until I check it, it reminds me for every minute or so with maximum of 5 times (can be customized and more options are available in paid version). So wondering if there is something that just simply plays the sound until the calendar is viewed.
Thanks!
I can't get twitter to keep the notification ring tone I choose(I do get notifications). Everytime I set it, it reverts back to "default".
Also, I use spotify, and when I go into settings, equalizer, and make changes to the SoundAlive Eq it does nothing (I have even tried very drastic settings), can someone see if they are experiencing the same on these two issues?
Hi all,
I’ve got three doubts:
When I am using Google Maps (either with or without Android Auto) and someone calls me, at first a heads up notification that doesn't cover the entire screen appears, but when I respond the call, then the entire screen is occupied by the dialer app, leaving me without visual GPS directions. This didn't happen with other smartphones using the Google dialer app. In fact, if I'm in a car, I can minimise the call so that I can continue seeing Google Maps, but it’s not possible to do when riding a motorcycle. Do you know if it's possible to answer a call but maintaining the call minimised? This problem doesn’t happen with Waze because it has an option to keep Waze always in the foreground, but Maps hasn’t got this option.
When I’m in a call and sound notifications are on, apps such as Telegram or a radio app I have, keep ringing even when you’re in a call, which is kind of annoying, especially when you’re listening to the radio and someone calls you and you have both the radio and the call running at the same time, disgusting. I’ve found no way to mute notifications during a call, just by using Do not disturb mode all the time (I've seen that Android Nougat automatically activates the Do not disturb mode during a call, but this doesn't happen in my Honor 6X), but then you have never sound. Do you know any way to fix it without needing to always use the Do not disturb mode?
I’ve set Google Play Music as the predetermined app for music instead of the EMUI music app. However, when I use the Bluetooth in my motorcycle helmet (Cardo Scala Rider Q1) and I push the button to play some music, sometimes the EMUI music app is launched instead of the Google Play Music app. It happens at random, there are no patterns, but it’s quite annoying. Any solution out there?
Best!
Sorry I have no idea...
Just switched to sony Xperia from iOS. Couple things driving me batty but I hope there are fixes.
I have notification sounds on, but when I'm watching YouTube, listening to music or on TikTok, the media fades and the notification sounds loud which is so annoying and I don't care to switch to do not disturb or silent every time I want to use one of those apps. Is there a way to have the notifications automatically silently pop up when consuming media https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/ .
The qr scanner in the notification shade only opens black and doesn't use the camera when open - is there a way to fix this
The speakers and the microphone are TERRIBLE, I am getting constant complaints from whom I am on the phone to - is there a way to fix this?
Thank you

First of all, Welcome to XDA!
I don't know much about Sony devices and I also don't "i" anything, however, the Android operating system, in general has some settings and features common to most devices.
The notification thing, yeah, crazy right? Crank up the volume on your favorite tune and PING! We shouldn't have to "fix" it, anyways, you have some options:
In your settings, open the app drawer to all your apps, and tap through Settings/Sound & vibration
You can adjust the volume levels for media, call volume, ring & notifications and the alarm. It can be tedious though, I use the Do Not Disturb feature. You can do more than just turn it on and off:
[Based on my Google Pixel 7 Pro, Stock Firmware]
Beneath the "Turn on now" button, first option is "What can interrupt Do Not Disturb", People | Apps | Alarms & other
You can create schedules, set a duration for when you tap the QS tile, and even keep hidden notification hidden. It's one of the most used features on my phones.
I only allow what I consider "HIGH Priority", family and work, everyone else can leave a message. I use Amazon music, so it and the Google don't get along too well, I *think* with other services you can connect with your device "assistant", or whatever AI it has. I don't know Sony devices, did I mention that?
As far as your hardware (cam and speakers), I don't know what to tell you other than the Google Pixel has the best cam experience and most Android phones have crappy speakers. There are some audio mods around here though, they can do wonders for some devices.
Best of luck and I hope you don't go back to iOS,
Nepo
