To retrieve the Ringtone object of the default ringtone, use the RingtoneManager:

Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI);

If the user has changed the default ringtone to a ringtone provided in a 3rd party messager app, AFAIK you can't access the new ringtone unless the 3rd party app exposes its ringtones via a ContentProvider.
