Could people please test on various devices
and let me know whether it makes a
notification sound

Steve,

I got the no sound available alert.

Hi Steve, yup same as Chris. No sound available

[Steve Garman]

Ok thanks guys, the sound must be placed there by some app I have installed on all my devices then. It was a bit of a long shot that it would be general.

I was trying to find a generic way to play a sound when I send a notification, as DroidScript seems to have no way to do that using standard Android stuff.

Obviously I can bundle a sound in my app but either way, I would be bypassing the main preferences and I don't want to be the only app waking the user at 4.00 am.

I suppose it's time to try the Android SDK docs and Stack Overflow to find out what I should be doing if I was using Java.

After that, I guess the alternatives are a plugin or an opt-in only user-setting with time constraints and a warning that it ignores the user's other settings.
