When using Android devices with version >= 8 neither sound nor vibration effects are applied, when a push notification is received on the default channel.
The root cause seems to be, that the default channel created by the library has IMPORTANCE_LOW assigned during creation.
This prevents any 'intrusive' effects.

Please change it to at least IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
