I will quickly show you how you can set a specific song that will be played when a particular user sends you an email. For this, you have to first create a filter on Gmail for that user and assign it a label, so that every email from that user automatically get tagged to that label.

The method to perform this task can be divided into 2 parts i.e. in the first part you have to create a search filter for that specific user and apply a label to it, and in the second part, you just have to manage notification settings of your Gmail android app.
