Description
When enabling the "silent mode" (Android 4.x), the "priority mode" (Android 5.0) or just switching to "vibration mode", apps are still able to play sounds through the "music" audio stream. So music or video apps and games can still play music, even when the device should be muted. "Media-Mute" automatically detects when you enter silent/priority/vibration mode and then sets the volume of the "music" audio stream to 0, muting even media apps and most games. When leaving silent/priority/vibration mode, the app restores your old volume. Additionally, you can always overwrite the set volume by just increasing the volume with your hardware volume buttons while a video is playing.
The new "do not disturb mode" (Android 6.0+) works better, but apps are still able to make noise if you put your phone in "vibration" mode rather then the all-blocking DND mode.

Recent changes: Re-added NotificationListener for Samsung Android 5.1+ devices (Samsung, once again, felt the need to do something different then every other manufacturer and implementeded the bugged 5.0 priority mode again in their 5.1 ROMs...). Without the NotificationListener, the app will only detect "Silent Mode" but not "Do not disturb" mode changes. Enable the NotificationListener if you use the "Do not disturb" option on Samsung devices running Android 5.1 (not required for any other manufacturer)

I have no idea why Samsung doesn't include mute media volume on silent/vibrate, but this app provided this feature for me. Simple, no frills, works perfectly. Thank you.

This essential app should be pre-installed on every android phone. Playing movies while your phone is on mute is guaranteed not to make a sound. I can now browse Reddit early in the morning or late at night without movie clips suddenly making a noise and waking my wife despite the phone being on silent. It does not mute your alarm clock. Top app!

Why is it asking for permissions to look at all my stuff? Used to be good. I don't remember it asking me this last time I downloaded this app. Well, never mind, it's all moot since I can't see why a Mute app would need to do this. I just need 'Mute all sounds' as a widget, so I can add to home screen. Do that without need for access to any sensitive info, and I'd buy in a second! Samsung S9

After my initial enthusiasm, it stopped working after a day. Still looking for a reliable mute everything app on Huawei.
★★☆☆☆
I had to open the app every single time I set the phone to silent or else it wouldn't run. Then I might as well just manually mute media instead, so I uninstalled the app. Love the idea, though, so will go looking for a similar app that actually works on my phone.
★★☆☆☆
App requires permission to read ALL app messages, including contacts, phone #'s, and message bodies. You'd be a fool to allow this.
