Android 8 not playing sound / vibrations

[meisterm]

Expected Behaviour

App should play sound (Custom, Ringtone or default notification sound) and vibrate when notification received.

Actual Behaviour

Notification is shown but no vibration and no sound is played.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Setup a new Ionic Project with Plugin Push v2. Registration, Receiving of Push Message (showing up), Icon etc. is working. Only sound and vibration is missing. Additionally I use the cordova-background-geolocation-lt 2.10.1 "BackgroundGeolocation" Plugin in my app which uses the Google Services as well.

Steps to Reproduce

Nothing special. Install plugin, take my init Options and send the FCM Message.

Platform and Version (eg. Android 5.0 or iOS 9.2.1)

Android 8.0 with OxygenOS 5.0.2

(Android) What device vendor (e.g. Samsung, HTC, Sony...)

One Plus 5

Cordova CLI version and cordova platform version

cordova --version                                    # 7.1.0
cordova platform version android                     # 6.3.0

Plugin version

cordova plugin version | grep phonegap-plugin-push   # 2.1.3

Google-API Version: 11.6.2

Sample Push Data Payload

{
    "registration_ids": ["xxx"],
    "data": {
        "title": "Testtitle",
        "message": "Testmessage"
    },
    "priority": "high"
}

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

Init Options for Push Plugin:

let actionEinsatz: CategoryAction = {
            yes: {
                callback: "accept",
                title: "Annehmen",
                foreground: true,
                destructive: false
            },
            no: {
                callback: "decline",
                title: "Ablehnen",
                foreground: true,
                destructive: false
            },
            maybe: {
                callback: "later",
                title: "Später",
                foreground: true,
                destructive: false
            }
        };
        const options: PushOptions = {
            android: {
                senderID: '313658594957',
                forceShow: true,
                sound: true,
                vibrate: true,
                clearBadge: true,
                iconColor: 'red',
                icon: 'ambulance'
            },
            ios: {
                alert: true,
                badge: true,
                sound: true,
                clearBadge: true,
                categories: { "einsatz": actionEinsatz }
            },
            windows: {}
        };

 const pushObject: PushObject = this.push.init(options);

@meisterm you didn't put the sound property into your payload in order to tell the plugin to play a sound. Please read: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/PAYLOAD.md#sound

[meisterm]

Hi, sorry I tested all possible soundname constellations. The goal is to play a custom sound but after this didn't work I tested the other variants. So these are the logs with the payload for default sound:

{ "registration_ids": ["xxx"], "data": { "title": "Testtitle", "message": "Testmessage", "soundname": "default" }, "priority": "high" }

Beacuse of the use of the background-geolocation plugin there is a permanent notification on the android screen. Is it possible that there are some influences between these both plugins? (I can read something about "TSLocationManager" in the Notification Channel)

[meisterm]

I did some further research regarding the geolocation-background-lt Plugin. I saw that there is a NotificationChannel created by this plugin called "de.xxx.yyyTSLocationManager". When I call listChannels from the push-plugin I get this one Channel back. When I try to create another channel with a custom ID it doesn't seem to work because when I call listChannels after that again the new Channel isn't listed. Also the FCM Notification will not be shown -> logcat tells me that there is no such channel.

Is it possible that sound and vibration is not working because of the missing Notification Channel? By default it looks like, that the "de.xxx.yyyTSLocationManager" NotificationChannel is also used by the push-plugin when showing the Notification.

[meisterm]

Now I have some more information:

After checking the NotificationChannel of the GeolocationBackground Plugin I could determine that the notification sound and vibration was turned off in settings. After turning on I became sound and vibration. But only the default one. Custom Sound and Vibration Pattern didn't work.

Than I removed the Geolocation completely from my app and remove and rebuild the app on the device. Now the default NotificationChannel channel=PushPluginChannel exists and is used when a Notification is displayed. But still custom sound and vibration doesn't work. Even creating and removing of custom NotificationChannels is not possible. Currently I'm testing Google-Api Version 11.8.0 even without success, too.

[idekterev]

I can also confirm the lack of custom sounds - Tested on Android 8.1.0. 'soundname' seems to not have any effect. Even the example using the value of "soundname": "ringtone" does not play the ringtone, just the default notification sound.

As an idea it would be great to configure the 'default' sound in the PushNotification.init block, just like we can set the default icon with: "android": { "icon": "custom_icon_name", }

JSON Payload: { "registration_ids": ["my device id"], "data": { "title": "Ringtone", "message": "Plays default ringtone sound", "soundname": "ringtone" } }

p.s. my Logcat showed the exact same entries that may be related:

W/Notification: Use of stream types is deprecated for operations other than volume control W/Notification: See the documentation of setSound() for what to use instead with android.media.AudioAttributes to qualify your playback use case

[meisterm]

Can you give us some feedback?

[tominou]

Same here, custom sound is not working on Android 8.1

[warthog618]

I'm still seeing this problem with plugin v2.2.3 and soundname: "ringtone". Works for Android 7.1.2, but not for 8.1.

[panchazo]

Based on my experience the sound must be set in the javascript side when creating the channel for android 8+. Sending the sound in the payload will only work on Android 7 and lower.
