Setting a custom alarm tone in Android plays the default tone instead

Question

I am writing a sound card application and want custom ogg files to be in ringtone, notification tone and alarm tone. I use RingtoneManager for this:

// register with MediaStore content provider ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, newSoundFile.getAbsolutePath()); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, soundName); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/ogg"); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, newSoundFile.length()); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, true); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true); values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false); // delete row if it exists Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(newSoundFile.getAbsolutePath()); getContentResolver().delete(uri, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=\"" + newSoundFile.getAbsolutePath() + "\"", null); Uri newUri = getContentResolver().insert(uri, values); RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM, newUri); 

It works for ringtones and notifications (by replacing TYPE_ALARM), but not for alarm. Instead, it simply plays the default Android notification sound.

Does anyone have the same problem or maybe a solution?
