Android: No custom sound

Hi,

I am having issues with playing a custom sound on android after I upgraded to API 26. The sound worked before this upgrade and currently works in iOS.

I am using RN 0.56.1 and have updated the package to 3.1.2, added a channel name and description in my android manifest as per the readme (this issue occured in 3.1.1 too).

The code below is used to schedule a local notification:

PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
    id: id,
    number: 0,
    userInfo: {
        id: id,
        ...payload,
    },
    title: "My title",
    message: "My message",
    date: moment().add(30, 'seconds').toDate(),
    soundName: 'alarm.mp3',
    repeatType: 'minute',
    data: JSON.stringify(payload),
    priority: "max",
    importance: "max",
    visibility: "public",
    autoCancel: false,
});

alarm.mp3 exists in /app/src/main/res/raw/ folder and is 30 seconds long.

@zo0r PR https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/pull/1042 is very much needed. Could you please do something to make it merged?

This fork https://github.com/MaximusBaton/react-native-push-notification has been the only one that works for me. Unfortunately it’s behind a few versions, but it’ll have to do for now until we can get an official fix.
