No custom sound with Android Firebase Notification

Question

I am using Firebase push notifications in my Android App. I can send correctly notification with custom icon, but I have not managed to play my custom sound. I always get th

Answer 1

Maybe this helps : In my case i tried with the above approach and it did not worked, whenever i was checking in the onMessageReceived (for debug purpose) the channel id

Log.e(TAG, "Message Notification channel id: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getChannelId()); 

i always got 'null'.

So reading the documentation from here https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/http-server-ref#notification-payload-support

I found out that i was using the wrong key for the channel id in the json.

Instead of 'channel_id' key try to use 'android_channel_id' key like this

"notification": {
        "body": "Body of Your Notification",
        "title": "Title of Your Notification",
        "android_channel_id": "channelId",
        "icon": "myIcon"
    }

If i use it like that it works as expected, custom sound (from res/raw) is played

PS: in my case i set my sound on the channelId when i created it

Good luck !
