Feature Request: Play sound as alarm sound #1176

Open meisterm opened 8 years ago

meisterm commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

could it be possible to play a sound like an alarmsound. So the sound will be played with the volume of the alarm volume like the alarm clock?

Regards, meisterm

No, it is not possible. The volume of the sound played when a push notification is received is controlled by the OS as set by the user.

meisterm commented 8 years ago

Yes. But there is definitly the possibility to use a different stream for sound playback. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html STREAM_ALARM is used for Alarmsounds which will be played with a different volume. (It's possible to define different volumes) So you can have a muted Soundvolume or Ringtonevolume and a loud alarmvolume for your alarm clock for example. The plugin should play with the STREAM_ALARM if there is set a special flag in the payload. That's my wish :-)

@meisterm I spoke too quickly there is a way to set the sound with AudioAttributes that can be used to indicate an alarm.
