Local notification sounds

I’ve looked at the current documentation for local notification, and while it does display which methods and options are available, it does not explain what type can be used for each option. What I’m trying to do is use a custom notification sound, but I haven’t got it working yet. The sound is located at [ROOT_PROJECT]/public/assets/sound/sound.aiff (for iOS), and trying to load in the sound using the snippit below.

import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { LocalNotifications } = Plugins;

LocalNotifications.schedule({
  notifications: [
    {
      title: "Title",
      body: "Body",
      id: 1,
      schedule: { at: new Date(Date.now() + 1000 * 5) },
      sound: 'assets/sounds/sound.aiff',
      attachments: null,
      actionTypeId: "",
      extra: null
    }
  ]
});

I’ve also tried applying file:// in front of it (got this from ionic), and using a direct path. I know that the sound exists at that path, and that it can be played, but I have no clue what needs to be done to make it play that sound.

If anyone has an idea on how to do it, please let me know!

Hey guys after long time testing, I have figured it out using the capacitor local notifications on any version of Android. *To get the sound working you must create a channel

First you need to put the sound.mp3 file that you have inside the raw folder located in the res folder of Android files.

Second you need to create a channel using the plugin and put in the right values, for (sound: ‘sound.mp3’). Then schedule a notification with the basic values but don’t include the sound param when you schedule the notification. Examples below

//// Creating channel example ///// const channel1: NotificationChannel = { id: ‘mychannel’, name: ‘channel’, importance: 5, sound: ‘sound.mp3’, visibility: 1,

}

Important NotificationChannel from capacitor plugins

Plugins.LocalNotification.createchannel(channel1)

//// Scheduling notifications ///// Plugins.LocalNotification.schedule({ notifications { title: ‘example’, id: 1, channel: ‘mychannel’ (channel id from above) body: ‘example’, trigger: ‘example’

} })

Third inside the capacitor.config.json file put Plugins { LocalNotification { “smallicon”: “icon” “Iconcolor”: "#22222# “sound”: “sound.mp3” } }

That’s all after that it will be working. Once your notification triggers it will play the custom sound you assigned. If you get confused let me know. Here is the video you can follow to help you understand better. https://youtu.be/bww4a4B43tM

I have fixed this issue by creating first a channel:

The ‘slap.wav’ file is stored in android\app\src\main\res\raw\ folder

Then, I schedule my notification without speciying the sound path:

PS: I did not do any configuration on capcitor.config.json

It works perfectly on Samsung Galaxy A71 (SM-A715F) - Android 10

If you want to change dynamically the notification sound, you delete this channel and create another one with only a different id
