Choosing your own sound notification

[SamSungtwo]

Can a user select their own sound notification (music file) for a specific app other than the selection provided?

[RedDogRabbit]

Yes you can. I use Zedge for custom notifications.

I also use Zedge for notifications. I can also find on this app ringtones from other smartphone manufacturers such as LG, Apple iPhone, Motorola and more.

Thanks Georgina, it is always better to use native capabilities.

Here is what I usually do. Have a mp3 music downloaded on your phone. Copy or move the mp3 file to Ringtone Folder in My Files app. Then the song appears under notification sounds.
