Being able to have different notification sounds for different apps can be extremely convenient. Not only is it great for personalizing your smartphone or tablet, but it can also clue you in on which application or game is sending the notification without ever needing to pick up the device.

In today's video I'll be using the Google Pixel 7 Pro to show you how this is done, but it will actually work on many other Android devices as well. I did some additional tests and this process is also working on the latest LineageOS build based on Android 12. It should even work on Android 11 as well.

To begin, we first need to open up the Settings application and then selecting the Apps option. Now, you're going to want to look for the app or game that you want to change the notification sound for.

From here, we want to select the Notifications option and this is where you'll see all of the different Notification Categories available for that application. These categories are set up by the developer themselves, so you may only see one notification category here or you could see a lot.

Each category that makes a sound will have a bell icon next to it. If you see a notification category without a bell next to it then that means it has been set to silent.

So, to change the notification sound from this application we need to select one of the categories in this list with a bell next to it.

Now scroll down a little bit and tap the Sound option and from here you'll be able to set the notification sound to any sound that is available on your device. You should even be able to set it to a custom sound using the My Sounds option. . .or using the file browser option if it is available.

Once the notification sound for that category has been changed, we can then go back and select a different category to customize as well. Remember, some apps have many different categories to set up while others may only have one or two. It all depends on how the developers have set up their application or game.

So not only can you set a custom notification sound for each application you have installed, but you can also set a different notification sound for each notification category that an application has. You could also just set each notification category to the same sound so that it is easy to distinguish between the various apps you have sending notifications.

Once you've configured all of the notification categories for a particular application, you can find another one in your Apps list and customize the notification sound for it as well

That is how Android handles custom notification sounds for different applications, and you should be able to go through your apps list in the Settings application to configure each sound that is played for each application on your device.
