Move your mp3 file from sd card to system/media/audio/ringtones and then reboot the phone and the mp3 should apear in phone ringtone.

I've had the same problem recently, and I found this thread with a Google search (I use an EVO). I'm about to try the fix mentioned above.
Also, I've had this same problem with my music for some reason. Maybe it's the same issue.
EDIT: Doh! Found out I had to delete ".nomedia"

Thank you, just had to delete nomedia file!

Play the file using music player and on the menu Set as then you will get option for that...

ok tq...can you help me where can i fine the ringtone folder??

Just create these folder structures on your sd card:
/media/audio/notifications/
/media/audio/ringtones/
and put your sound files there. System will automatically add them to the selection.

it's easy to set mp3 as a phone ringtone, but how to set mp3 to notification ringtone?

Copy mp3 to system/media/audio/notification
I use esfile explorer then in settings enable root and mount system as write.

where i could find the path? (..system/media/audio/notification).
i'm using ASTRO file manager but not finding the .../system ?

It's much easier to create a folder called /notifications on internal storage or SD card and copy the sound file there. It will be available as a notification ringtone then. (You also need root to copy to /system.)
Note that it does not need to be a top-level folder - you could have a directory structure like /sounds/notifications and /sounds/ringtones (as well as /sounds/ringtones for ringtones) and they will still show up.

"Copy Error"
when i try copy, i get "Copy Error"
java.io.FileNotFoundException:/system/media/audio/notification/ring.mp3(read-only file system)
????

You need to make sure you are creating the directory under sdcard, /mnt/sdcard. Based on what you reported, I feel you tried to create one from /system, of course it is read-only by default.
You will have no problem to create anything off /mnt/sdcard. Give it a try.

i already create directory on sdcard, the issue is how to point the directory files from: settings->sound->notification rington ?

You need to use a root explorer (es explorer) and tick the mount system as write. Motorola is funny with adding notification tones.

If the folder on the SD card is called "notifications", it will show up. This is standard Android, and is exactly what I have done with all of my phones since I have had one, and works with my Droid 3.

got it
using ES File Ex. getting write permission on 'system/media/notification' folder
and it's done

Ringtone Folder Location

I've got some ringtones & notification tones I want to put on my Note 5 from my Note 4, but can't seem to find the right folder. I tried the Ringtone folder, but it doesn't show up on the list when I try to assign them. Can anyone give me the correct location for it/them?

If you are rooted; system / media / audio / ringtones. If you are not rooted use another file explorer besides the stock one and use it to navigate to your regular ringtone folder and select it that way.

That was it, Thanks. I'm not rooted, but was using the stock explorer.
