It is possible with RingoneManager (Phone library).

Do you mean like this:
1. Download remote file
2. Use AddToMediaStore()
3. SetDefault() to new file to change the default ringtone
?
I wanted to use the MediaPlayerStream to play from remote source, without the need to download the file first.
Can this be done somehow?
Or how did you mean to do it?
Thanks Erel.

Why do you want to use the native alarm application? It will be simpler to use ServiceStartAt and play the file yourself.

For me, it would be simpler, but for normal user, it is more simpler to use the native alarm app.
Ok, I will not go against the wall, but if it is doable, I want to try.

You can use RingtoneManager to add the audio file to the build-in notification sounds. The user will then be able to choose this sound.

You will need to first download the file.

Thank you.
That is what I thought.
So I better make my own alarm time setup.
