Is there a method that can be used to mute the global sound from an application button?
They make it more complicated than it has to be. You can just use AudioManager.setStreamMute()
. Feel free to use the code below.
//mute audio
AudioManager amanager=(AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, true);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, true);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, true);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true);
//unmute audio
AudioManager amanager=(AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, false);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, false);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, false);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, false);
amanager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, false);
