Emergency Priority on Android

[danmed]

I've been trying out ntfy and it's.. well it's awesome.. so much quicker than pushover..

The problem i have is that i want to use it for my alarm notifications but i cannot figure out how to set it as an emergency alert on android.

My phone is almost always on vibrate only and after 11pm it's in DND.

I've figured out how to ignore DND.. but how can i get it to ignore vibrate and play a sound (loud!)

With pushover I set the priority to 2.. but i can't find the equivalent with ntfy

I just tried and if I

• set my phone to "Ring" (my OnePlus phone has a slider on the side of the phone)
• enable DND
• And set the "max priority" channel to "override DND"

It will play a sound even with DND.

Here's what that looks like. You can even set a custom ringtone for max priority items:

I found this is a great sound for max priority: https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/607/607878_12946258-lq.mp3

Hi,

thank you for your reply, but i don't want to take my phone off silent... (for a few reasons).. I was just wondering if NTFY could by pass the "silent" mode like pushover can.

Doesn't DND override all sounds and mutes them?

I thought I had looked into that and decided it wasn't possible. But if Pushover does it, it must be possible ... It's a valid request.

Thank you for considering it.. here is the Pushover info : https://pushover.net/api#priority

I had to set up pushover on my phone again (new phone) and by default it wasn't bypassing my DND.. it turns out i'd had to alter some settings in the client and the main one is to play high priority alerts as through the alarm channel which bypasses DND / Silent mode.. maybe that will assist in progressing this one! (it also allows customising the sound played for high priority alerts)

If you could share the steps or screenshots that'd be helpful :-D

[danmed]

This is just in the settings for the pushover app on Android... nothing else i can really share i'm afraid...

What app is that from? Is that from Android, or in Pushover? It'd be more helpful if you could provide specific steps in Android. If it's a pushover setting, then don't bother, because I won't know what Pushover does under the hood.

It's Pushover.. i just figured that the description of what it does might help

I have managed to produce a looping alarm sound, even with DND enabled, and even when the phone is silent. I think I can make a similar toggle to the screenshot above. Working on this now.
