Is there an API to determine which profile is currently active such as Loud, Normal or Quiet? I have been able to setup my own Notification category and fire notifications, but I also need to determine which mode is active.

This is not currently in the API, although I understand that it is coming in a future release.

Hi,

I'm working on an application and I need to obtain the current profile to stop the sounds and vibration.

There is a way to detect the current profile?? with OS 4.5, 4.6 or 4.7 maybe?? or It isn't possible yet??

Are there any news to this topic?

[RexDoug]

The news is:  there is no news!

You can look at this from the other way around.  There are no APIs to detect the current profile.  However, your application can integrate with the user's profiles.  This means your application will be set to the defaults for each profile (i.e. Vibrate for the vibrate profile, no audio for the silent profile).  It also allows the user to select a custom notification for your application within each profile in the same way they would for the built in applications (Phone, Messages, etc...).  Have a look at the notificationsdemo included with the BlackBerry JDE for an example.

there is a way to determine the current notification profile - but you have to be a bit tricky.
the consequence interface allows notifications to implement its own profile reactions. if you implement them with only a callback and trigger the notification only the matching consequence will be executed.

Hi,

             I tried looking at the notfications demo as you mentioned in your post.   However, I'm not sure how get the application to be set to the defaults for each profile.  When I run the notifications demo on 4.7 for the Storm, the demo profile is set to Silent.  When I run it on the other simulators, the notifications demo is set to Mute by default.  I tried creating my own notification in code as well and it is also set to Mute in the profiles by default.  Is there any way to get around this?

Can you clarify how to create these defaults for each profile? I looked into the notificationsDemo but there is no defaults for any profile.

Also, it is possible to put a file(.amr) in your application and use this file as the default for your notification event?

Thank you

When your application registers with the NotificationManager and creates an entry in the Profiles application, default settings are applied (no alert for Silent, Vibrate for Vibrate, etc...).  There is no way for an application to specify what its default settings should be.
