AudioManager manager = (AudioManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int max = manager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
manager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, new_volume, 0 /*flags*/);

See the AudioManager API for more details, especially which stream to
use and of course  you might have to change the ringer mode, cf
manager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL).

Please be nice to the user: only do so if the user checks a pref to
allow your app to modify his/her settings and remember to revert the
volume to what it was before ;-)
