Solution for you .

AudioManager am;
am= (AudioManager) getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

//For Normal mode
am.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);

//For Silent mode
am.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

//For Vibrate mode
am.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE);

Is this answer still valid in 2013? I thought I read that this is no longer viable per some recent update. – temporary_user_name Sep 25 '13 at 02:14

A little update: as per documentation "From N onward, ringer mode adjustments that would toggle Do Not Disturb are not allowed unless the app has been granted Do Not Disturb Access." -> which means you can't change Silent mode without asking for DnD permission. – E.Akio Mar 18 '21 at 13:04

//SilentToNomal and NormalToSilent device Programatically
 final AudioManager mode = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
//Silent Mode Programatically
mode.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

//Normal Mode Programatically
  mode.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);

Yes this is possible to turn off and on the silent mode programmatically below is the code :

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);

for setting silent mode :

audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

For normal mode :

audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);

int normal = 2;
int vibrate = 1;
int silent = 0;
int RingerMode;
public static AudioManager AUDIOMANAGER;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    AUDIOMANAGER= (AudioManager) getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    if (AUDIOMANAGER.getRingerMode() == normal) {
                    AUDIOMANAGER.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
                    RingerMode = normal;
    } else if (AUDIOMANAGER.getRingerMode() == vibrate) {
                    AUDIOMANAGER.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
                    RingerMode = vibrate;
                }
    //And after do all your jobs..... you can return to previous mode:
                    AUDIOMANAGER.setRingerMode(RingerMode);

}

Is it possible to turn off the silent mode programmatically in android?
