I almost always keep my phone on silent mode, so I've never really bothered with ringtones or other audible alerts. However, I've been noticing that when I get a call in the middle of listening to music, I will hear the ringtone in my headphones, but not on the phone's external speakers.

That made me wonder, is it possible to listen to other alerts when I'm listening to music, but not while there aren't any headphones plugged into the phone? I'd love to be able to hear it when my messaging apps, iMessage, my calendar app and Reminders sends off a beep in the midst of music.
