延迟通知声音

Question

I am working on a group chat app. In a scenario where there are lots of messages coming in, I would like the notification tone to re-played only after an interval.

Essentially, once notification sound happens, I want notification sound to be turned off for a certain interval (60s) . After the interval (60s) has elapsed, if a new message comes, only then the notification tone is re-played and again goes quiet for another 60s and so on. In between 60s intervals any number of messages would not trigger notification sound.

So, If I receive my first message at 0 seconds, then for 60 seconds, there will be no notification sound irrespective of number of messages I receive. After 60 seconds, notification sound will be played only on new message and will stay quiet for another 60 seconds.

How can this be implemented.

Thanks Sunny

In your Service that creates notifications, when the first message is received, play sound and start a CountDownTimer (with 60 seconds). Don't play sound until timer goes to zero. After timer goes zero, play sound on next notification and reset timer.
