Android feature request: different notification sound for location based alarms

[Andrei Bacean]

Hi
For me it's important to distinguish the location based notifications from simple task notifications (reminders).

When I'm driving, i usually don't look at the phone when a reminder pops up because almost all of them are simple task reminders. Thus i miss from time to time the location based reminders which have the same notification sound.

I would prefer to be able to set a different sound for the location based reminders, so that i can distinguish them.

Why it's important?
If you miss a location based reminder, you will miss the possibility to complete the task at the defined place. To return to that place, just to complete the task is counterproductive. A different sound for the location based reminders may reduce the number of missed alarms, thus we will become more productive and more organized.

What do other people think?
Thank you

Hi again

Here is a workaround using Tasker and Autonotification plugin.

The tasker intercepts the mlo notification messages. if the mlo message contains the word "arrive" tasker plays your custom mp3.

Attached are a few screenshots and the tasker profile which can be imported to your tasker (after you import it, select a new notification sound).

It's not an easy workaround and hope the developer to implement this feature.
