    Getting the default ringtone metadata is a bit more complicated than you assume.

    A good place to start is the RingtoneManager class. It provides methods for getting the default Ringtone, from four areas:

    int    TYPE_ALARM           Type that refers to sounds that are used for the alarm.
int    TYPE_ALL             All types of sounds.
int    TYPE_NOTIFICATION    Type that refers to sounds that are used for notifications.
int    TYPE_RINGTONE        Type that refers to sounds that are used for the phone ringer.

    Using this class it is straightforward to get the default ringtone’s title:

    Uri ringtoneUri = RingtoneManager
        .getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);
Ringtone ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(this, ringtoneUri);
String title = ringtone.getTitle(this);

    I’m not sure if it’s possible to get other data about ringtones.
