This is how you assign the selection to your notification instance.

String strRingtonePreference = preferences.getString("ringtonePref", "DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI");
notification.sound = Uri.parse(strRingtonePreference);

Where notification is :

Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, time);

`"DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI"` doesn't work. Rather pass `null` as that argument, and call `RingtoneManager.getActualDefaultRingtoneUri` instead of `Uri.parse` if `SharedPreferences.getString` returns `null`. – Nov 05 '13 at 12:29
`Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI` is a good default as well when the preference returns null. – Jeshurun Nov 11 '13 at 15:04
