Android notification setSound is not working

Question

In my hybrid Cordova Android app targeting API 23+ I want to use a custom sound for notifications. To that end I have done the following

• In plugin.xml

Answer 1

You are accessing the sound in a subfolder in the resources

change the source of your uri to

Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + context.getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.siren);

For the default sound, use:

notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

Answer 2

Use this for setting sound

Uri defaultSoundUri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" + mContext.getPackageName() + "/raw/mysound");


NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
                new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext)
                        .setContentIntent(mainPIntent)
                        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                        .setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(mContext.getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher))
                        .setContentTitle("" + title)
                        .setAutoCancel(true)
                        .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
                        .setContentText("" + body);

        NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
                (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        mNotificationManager.notify(title, NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());
