How to make my own Android custom calendar?

Is there a way to make separate notification volumes in android for the calendar reminders and text messages?

• It seems in Android 2.2 (Incredible) that the notification volumes for both the calendar and text messages are the same. I'd like to essentially mute the calendar sound (but have it vibrate) but make my text messages make a sound plus vibrate. I can't seem to figure this out.

• Answer:

  Notification volume in Android is a global setting, not app specific.  That means that all apps using notifications display them at the same volume. One way to achieve what you're after is to set the Notification Ringtone of your calendar app to a sound file that doesn't contain any sound.  1. Create an mp3 file that has no sound in it 2. Connect your phone to your computer 3. Copy the silent sound file to your phone in the /sdcard/media/audio/notifications folder 4. Detach your phone from your computer 5. In Calendar -> Settings, select the the silent ringtone for your Notification settings.  You'll still feel the vibrate, but you won't hear a sound. If you need a sound file, here's the one that I use: http://bitly.com/gzndzo
