Push notification, sound vs soundname

[nomaam]

does not play a sound, will not play default sound either

        $data = [
            'title' => $title,
            'body' => $body,
            'sound' => "mysound"
        ];

        $message = CloudMessage::withTarget('token', $deviceToken)
            ->withData($data);

does play a sound

        $data = [
            'title' => $title,
            'body' => $body,
            'soundname' => "mysound"
        ];

        $message = CloudMessage::withTarget('token', $deviceToken)
            ->withData($data);

Three days of troubleshooting to figure out how to play a sound.

Hopefully this saves someone else the headache...

Thank you for the information! Is this related to iOS, Android, WebPush notifications, or even all of them?

Sounds are somehow a recurring issue - have you tried using https://firebase-php.readthedocs.io/en/5.14.0/cloud-messaging.html#notification-sounds to see if that helps?

I haven't seen the soundname field before, could you show me some official documentation where it is described? This SDK currently only works with what I know from https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest/v1/projects.messages and https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/PayloadKeyReference.html

Yes I have tried using

https://firebase-php.readthedocs.io/en/5.14.0/cloud-messaging.html#notification-sounds

But I could only get default sounds working, and then my other settings would stop working.

I am working on Android through Cordova. Here is the documentation that mentions soundname. I have older apps that still use sound, not soundname, but I guess there was an update somewhere that changed it to soundname

https://github.com/havesource/cordova-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/PAYLOAD.md#sound

After some research I have the strong feeling that soundname is something Cordova-specific or at least client-side-framework-specific - the only places where I could find soundname instead of sound was in the Cordova-Plugin you linked to and zo0r/react-native-push-notification#1432... nowhere else.

I tried adding it somewhere in the AndroidConfig (similarly to what I shared in #533 (comment)), but this was rejected by the FCM APIs.

Long story short: thank you for sharing your findings, hopefully others will stumble upon this thread when they face similar issues - unfortunately there's little that can reliably be done on the SDK side :/
