Update: I got it working by defining the sound name in the init function like below:

var push = PushNotification.init({ 'android': { 'senderID': ANDROID_TOKEN, 'sound': 'fanfare', //fanfare.wav 'vibrate': 'true' } });

However, with this setup, I could not change the custom sound to another without reinstalling the app.

Confused ... does the plugin support custom push notification sounds? I've had no luck.

Same as you but Pixel 5 (fully updated).

I have a sound file -> res/raw/sound.mp3

This is my test data from PHP, the notification goes through just fine. I've tried "sound" and "soundfile" as well as just the filename without ".mp3" and with. Also the full path. No luck.

Advice appreciated :)

$fields = [ 'registration_ids' => [ $device, ], 'data' => [ "title" => 'Some Title', "message" => 'Some Message', "soundname" => "sound.mp3", ], ];

I am not sure if the plugin still supports custom push notification sound if the sound is set on the server-side. On the update I posted, the fix was to set it on the mobile-side by defining the value of the 'sound' parameter when calling the PushNotification.init. However, the downside of this "fix" is that you can only set the custom sound once. If you want to change the custom sound, you will have to uninstall the app, reset the value of the 'sound' parameter, and then install the new version again.

Any news ? Since the custom notification sound set on server-side work on IOS. I think it should work on Android.

Same issue here, something to do with the new push notification channels for firebase. Even defining a the default channel in strings.xml no luck. Any additional insight?
