Answer 1

Use this method in your app delegte class.

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];

    if (state == UIApplicationStateActive)
    {

        NSLog(@"User Info : %@", [userInfo description]);

        NSLog(@"User Info Alert Message : %@", [[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"alert"]);

        NSString *messageString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"alert"]];

        NSString *playSoundOnAlert = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"sound"]];

        NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath],playSoundOnAlert]];

        NSError *error;

        audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
        audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;
        [audioPlayer play];

    }


}

Answer 2

To play this sound you must specify the filename of the sound in the notification payload. For example, lets say you've added a sound file named example.caf into your application, we can play this sound with the notification payload as below:

{
    aps =     
    {
        alert = "test example notification message";
        sound = "example.caf";
    };
}

Then the custom sound will play when your notification arrives.
