Turn off the notification sound at system level - Android Marshmallow

Question

I have an OPO 3 and I was wondering if there is a possibility to turn off the notification sound for all app, but I would like to retain ringtone sound as well as vibration.



Normally on Samsung S6, there's a possibility to do this when you press the Volume rocker key.



My device is rooted and have Xposed installed. I tried Ringer & Notification Volume unlink xposed module but that doesn't seem to work.



This is something that I miss very badly, it's tragic that google didn't encompass this feature by default.

Answer

Automation is the preferred option. Many apps are available. I prefer using MacroDroid , since it is free (upto 5 macros) and easy to learn. To understand how MacroDroid works and required settings, my answer here





Your macro would look like this




  • Macro : Kill Notification (name of macro )



Trigger: Application Launched ( choose from the drop down the apps for which you want the macro to run)



Action: Notification Sound ( select none, since you don't want any)



Constraints: None ( which means this macro always runs whenever chosen apps are launched)
