Notification Sounds do not work on Android in push 3.0

[MichaelJCole]

After a day of testing, and looking through the code, I don't think this works on Android:

Here is the documentation from the Cordova Plugin used by this Meteor package.

In order for your your notification to play a custom sound you will need to add the files to your Android project's res/raw directory. Then send the follow JSON from GCM:

{
    title:"Sound Test",
    message: "Loaded res/raw",
    soundname: "test"
}
Note: when you specify the custom sound file name omit the file's extension.

Here is where raix:push wraps and sends the notification:

            if (typeof notification.sound !== 'undefined') {
              data.soundname = notification.sound;
            }

Here is how it's documented to work:

Push.send({
  from: 'Test',
  title: 'Hello',
  text: 'World',
  badge: 12,
  // sound: fileInPublicFolder
  query: {
    userId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'
  }
});

All of which don't make sense when put together. It may work on iOS, but on Android, I'm calling it out as broken. If you've used this on Android, I'd love to know how you got notification sounds to work.

I'm a newb at Cordova, but from the docs, these would be the steps:

From the cordova plugin docs:

1. In order for your your notification to play a custom sound you will need to add the files to your Android project's res/raw directory.
2. Send the notification live above (w/o the file extension)

I don't know how to do 1)

Would love to be wrong about it not working :-)
