Unable to Add custom SMS tone

Has anyone been able to add a custom tone to their SMS notifications? I've been able to add my custom ringtone, but have had no luck doing the same for SMS?

Make sure you put the notification sound file in /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

also make sure it is a compatible file format.

Or you could use TonePicker if you don't want to bother with the file system.

most sound file formats should work. mp3, wav, ogg, etc.

save your files in one of the following directories:

Music/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as user music.
Podcasts/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a podcast.
