Android Studio: sound notification on build success

In Android Studio, go into Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > Notifications, go down to Gradle Build (Logging) and check the Read aloud box.

This will speak Gradle build finished in x minutes and x seconds when your build is complete.

A blend of https://stackoverflow.com/a/66226491/8636969 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/63632498/8636969 that's very simple for mac:

gradle.buildFinished { BuildResult buildResult -> try { "afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Submarine.aiff".execute() } catch (Throwable ignored) {} } 

in your build.gradle. This just plays the Submarine sounds everytime a build finishes.

Refer to this we need to call the task inside afterEvaluate. And since I can't comment, I will put my working code here. This code works for windows.

You can add this to your app/.gradle file inside android{ } tag :

afterEvaluate { gradle.buildFinished{ BuildResult buildResult -> if (buildResult.failure) { ['powershell', """(New-Object Media.SoundPlayer "C:\\failed_notif.wav").PlaySync();"""].execute() println("failed doing task") } else { ['powershell', """(New-Object Media.SoundPlayer "C:\\succeed_notif.wav").PlaySync();"""].execute() println("build finished") } } } 

Please note that this method can only run with .wav file. If you want to use an .mp3 you can try this.

On Windows you can do it like this (in build.gradle):

gradle.buildFinished { BuildResult buildResult -> // Beep on finish try { String filename = buildResult.getFailure() ? 'Alarm10.wav' : 'Alarm02.wav' ['powershell', '-c', """(New-Object Media.SoundPlayer "C:\\Windows\\Media\\${filename}").PlaySync();"""].execute() } catch (Throwable ignored) {} } 

On mac based on this gist and this answer to find the folder do:

Create file speak.gradle with below content inside ~/.gradle/init.d folder (if you can't find init.d folder, you can create it)

speak.gradle

// When runnning a Gradle build in the background, it is convenient to be notified immediately // via voice once the build has finished - without having to actively switch windows to find out - // and being told the actual exception in case of a build failure. // Put this file into the folder ~/.gradle/init.d to enable the acoustic notifications for all builds gradle.addBuildListener(new BuildAdapter() { @Override void buildFinished(BuildResult result) { def projectName = gradle.rootProject.name if (result.failure) { playSound('Submarine.aiff') def e = getExceptionParts(result) "say '$projectName build failed: ${e.first} ${e.second}.'".execute() } else { if (projectName != "buildSrc") { playSound('Glass.aiff') "say '$projectName build successful.'".execute() } } } private Tuple2<String, String> getExceptionParts(BuildResult result) { def exception = result.failure if (exception.cause != null) { exception = exception.cause } def className = exception.class.simpleName def of = className.indexOf('Exception') new Tuple2<String, String>(className.substring(0, of), className.substring(of)) } private void playSound(def sound) { "afplay /System/Library/Sounds/$sound".execute() sleep(100) } }) 

you can simplify more the sound to done and fail
