Android does not play notification sound when 'notification' key is not present.

Expected Behaviour

When you define a notification like this:

var content = {
  priority: 'normal',
  data: {
    title: 'A short string describing the purpose of the notification',
    message: 'The text of the alert message',
    sound: 'default'
  }
};

The default notification sound should play when the notification is received.

Actual Behaviour

The notification is silent. The notification can be made to play be using:

var content = {
  priority: 'normal',
  data: {
    title: 'A short string describing the purpose of the notification',
    message: 'The text of the alert message',
    sound: 'default'
  },
  notification: {
    title: 'A short string describing the purpose of the notification',
    message: 'The text of the alert message',
    sound: 'default'
  }
};

However background notification handlers are not called when notification is tapped.

So the choice is to either have background notification handlers called properly, or sound. Cannot have both.

Same story here. It seemed to work yesterday and suddenly I can't get the notification event to fire, not even in foreground. The code has not changed, as I'm trying the same commit, but maybe something in the config (ignored by the repo) changed and it's preventing this from working again... so frustrating

Same here

In my case, if I include the notification key, then the sound works, but the notification icon on the lock screen breaks (show only a circle).
