You can change RINGING mode like this from silent to normal

AudioManager mobilemode = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
        mobilemode.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);


        // Turn on all sound

        // turn on sound, enable notifications
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, false);
        //notifications
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, false);
        //alarm
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, false);
        //ringer
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, false);
        //media
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, false);


        // Turn off all sound

        // turn off sound, disable notifications
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true);
        //notifications
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, true);
        //alarm
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, true);
        //ringer
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, true);
        //media
        mobilemode.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true);

FOR YOUR CASE YOU CAN TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS

int previousNotificationVolume =mobilemode.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);

        mobilemode.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION,mobilemode.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION), 0);

        // Play notification sound



        // Set notification sound to its previous 

        mobilemode.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION,previousNotificationVolume, 0);
