Samsung A51 notifications

Does anyone know if you can set a distinct notification for each app?

I want my security system to give me a different ring tone than my text messages, etc.

I went into application manager and changed the notification for my security system but it changed it for everything.

Yes, I do that for all of my apps.

My security system's alerts are different from all my other apps. Here are my ADT and text messages settings:

As you can see, their sounds are different.

I'm not sure what you're referring to by 'application manager.'

You should be able to adjust any/all of your alerts via System Settings. On my phone, with Android 10, my path looks like this:

System Settings | Apps & notifications | See all [X] apps | [app name] | Notifications | Notifications | Advanced | Sound

From there you can pick the sound you want for each app; some apps have multiple alerts--you can set each one differently if you like.

If this doesn't help, please post screenshots of where you're setting the sounds.

I found out I had a sound app (Zedge) over-riding the use of custom apps. When I changed one "notification" it changed all notifications.

All good now.

As an aside, I discovered yesterday on their site that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, and maybe higher devices, has 150 selectable vibration types for notifications etc.
I wonder how useful that is in practice, but a novel idea when it's in a pocket or on a desk.
