To create a custom notification sound for both Android you will need to predefine a Notification Channel for your app. I used Flutter Local Notifications plugin to do this. In there, you can specify the parameters for your Android Notification Channel such as

var androidPlatformChannelSpecifics = AndroidNotificationDetails( 'your other channel id', 'your other channel name', 'your other channel description', sound: RawResourceAndroidNotificationSound('slow_spring_board');

Note: slow_spring_board.mp3 is stored in the android\app\src\main\res\raw section of your app. Do not include the file extension when calling RawResourceAndroidNotificationSound()

There are other steps required to get it setup for iOS devices (mp3 are not supported). Once this is all done, you can begin working on your cloud messaging portion, in there you'll have to reference the notification channel id, and the sound file. I recommend including the audio file extension in that code.
