Volume Notification

About this app

This app adds your phone's volume buttons to a customizable notification.

It also adds new buttons to your Android quick settings menu (✏️) to control the different system volumes:

1. Pull the drawer from the top bar on your phone.
2. Press the pencil in the corner.
3. Drag the new Volume Tile buttons up to enable them.
4. Configure the buttons in the app.

Access your device's sound sliders straight from the top bar!

This tight little app can be particularly useful when you want to keep or share any media streaming during a voice call. Or simply when access to physical volume buttons is limited or you just fancy a full touch device.

But it can also be a life saver, when you need to quickly toggle any background audio. Never wished you had it? Well, now you do!

This application is open source and does not require any special permissions.

Please feel free to file any issues or feature requests. Your feedback is always appreciated!

* If your phone controls both the notifications and ringer volume with the same slider this app will not be able to control them separately.

* For Android 4.x download the v0.9.5 release directly from GitHub.

Ratings and reviews

Loved this app until this week (Aug 3, 2022). It used to split the ringer and notification sound volumes that some sad creature decided to combine in the recent Android versions. Not anymore. If I move the notification slider, then when I go to the ringer slider, it is set to the same as I just set for the notif. It does provide a good control hub to move available controls, but I'll have to move on to find a way to split off the notif from the ringer now.

Awesome! Settled on this app after trying many others. No ads or purchases! It offers great customizability for the notification, plus it also adds buttons for Quick Settings if you'd prefer to use them instead of having an always-present notification. [EDIT: per dev's helpful response, to prevent main screen pop-up message indicating that the Quick Settings buttons are available on Android 7+, just hit 'Cancel' instead of 'Ok'. Doing so on my device has prevented further pop-ups. Thanks!]

This simple utility confounded me after I installed it and I stuck with it only because of developer Seht's promises. I still don't understand how I managed to set it up in my android 11 Samsung Galaxy (a phone that requires hardware contact to open volume control is high motivation). Working, VN's worth any initial aggravation. I rarely award five stars but if I could double them here I would. ❤ Bless the generous wizard Seht.

What's new

- Should fix crashing with more phones! (From Android 5 to Android 14...)
- If you're updating from a previous version you must clear the app data.
