Battery Sound Notification for Android

Overview of the app

Battery Sound Notification is a free utility from Argon Dev that notifies you about battery status using audio cues instead of relying solely on visual indicators. Rather than placing a badge in the status bar, it lets you assign sounds to specific battery levels and events. You can pick any audio file on your device and choose the exact percentage or condition that triggers it. The interface is designed to be straightforward so setting up alerts is quick and easy.

Notable capabilities

• Assign any audio clip on your phone to play when a chosen battery percentage is reached.
• Enable repeated alerts so you don’t miss a notification the first time it sounds.
• Temporarily pause the notification service during scheduled quiet hours or when you’re on calls.
• Keep alerts active even if the phone is in silent or vibrate modes (persistent notification option).
• Configure sounds for transitions like charging start/stop as well as discharging.
• Set separate notifications for very low or fully charged states and other battery thresholds.

How configuration works

All options are accessible through a compact and intuitive settings screen. Pick a trigger (for example, 20% or “charging started”), select an audio file from your library, and choose whether the alert repeats or is one-time. You can enable or disable the service quickly, and create several distinct alerts to cover different percentages or events.

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Flexible: supports custom percentages and user-selected audio.
• Practical: audible alerts help when you miss visual cues or aren’t looking at the screen.
• Simple setup: clear controls let you add or remove alerts without fuss.

Cons:

• Volume control is tied to the media volume stream, so alerts may be louder or quieter than you expect.
• No built-in separate volume slider for notifications (could be added in a future update).

Final thoughts

Battery Sound Notification offers a fresh, practical approach to battery reminders by using sound. It’s easy to configure, supports custom alarms, and includes useful options like repeat alerts and quiet-time suspension. The main drawback is how it handles volume, but otherwise it’s a handy tool worth trying if you’d prefer audible battery alerts over visual ones.
