Listview: How To Notify The User About New Fetched Data With Sound And Vibration?

I've added my MainActivity below, the application fetches data from a database and refreshes automatically and on swipe down. My question is, how on earth can it notify the user ab

Solution 1:

After you fetch new data, there is a place you need to call notifyDataSetChanged() to let the listview update its content.

right after that call, you can use Vibrator to start a vibration

Vibratorv= (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
 // Vibrate for 500 milliseconds
 v.vibrate(500);

see: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Vibrator.html

To play sound, you need a MediaPlayer:

MediaPlayermp= MediaPlayer.create(this, yourSoundFile);
mp.start();
