Bug description

Prior to the latest beta version of signal, I have had certain contacts set to different notification sounds (specifically the "Hey!" sound)

After the update to 4.25.X now all notification sounds play the default system notification sound unless I actually have the signal app open with the conversation with that contact open (the list view of all chats can be open and still play the default sound)

Steps to reproduce

• Have a contact notification sound set to a non-system-default sound
• receive message when in conversation, hear custom sound
• receive message when signal in background, hear default android system sound

Actual result: When I get a message from the contact I the default notification sound when I used to hear "hey!"

Screenshots

notification sound set to hey

I hear default sound when signal in background OR on this screen

I only hear custom set sound when on this screen

Device info

Device: Pixel XL Android version: Stock Android version 9 Signal version: 4.25.2

Appears to be the same issue I'm having #8112

@schmeat shoot, you're right. looks like the same root cause.

This issue can probably be closed as a dupe
