Notifications individual Sound doesn't work

[bcvs 0]

Hi everybody,

 

I want my App to fire notifications with my own individual sound.

 

When I read the documentation and different tutorials and forum posts this seems to be easyly done:

 

Notification := NotificationCenter1.CreateNotification;
Notification.EnableSound:=true;
Notification.SoundName:= MySoundfile;

 

But when I do so, Android uses still the default notification sound and under iOS I here nothing at all.

 

On both platforms I can play the sound using the TMediaplayer. So I know that the Soundfile is present on the phone and that MySoundfile is correct.

 

I use a mp3-File unter Android and a caf-File under iOS.

 

Delphi is V12

 

Any Ideas?

Which forum posts, and which tutorials?

Sounds on Android are no longer associated with the notification itself, rather they are now associated with the channel via the SoundName property.

 

Note that you need to add the mp3 file to the deployment using a RemotePath of res\raw, and use the filename without the extension for the SoundName on the channel, e.g. for mysound.mp3, use a value of mysound for SoundName.

 

On iOS, you need to deploy the sound file with a RemotePath of .\, and use the actual filename for SoundName on the notification (i.e. not the channel)

Thank you for the hint with the channel but my first attempts were not succesful.

 

What I did: (according to https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/Using_Notifications)

 

- Deploy my soundfile notification.mp3 to remote path res\raw

 

- Create a Notification channel:

procedure TForm1.CreateDefaultNotificationChannel;
var
 NotificationChannel: TChannel;
begin
 NotificationChannel := NotificationCenter1.CreateChannel;
 NotificationChannel.Id := 'custom_notification_channel';
 NotificationChannel.Title := 'Custom notification channel';
 NotificationChannel.Description := 'Notification channel used for Firebase';
 NotificationChannel.Importance := TImportance.High; // NOTE: This is a 'heads-up notification'.
 NotificationChannel.SoundName:='notification';

 NotificationCenter1.CreateOrUpdateChannel(NotificationChannel);
end;

 

- This method is called once in TForm1.FormCreate.

 

- Setting the default 'notification channel id' in the project options, Application - Services to custom_notification_channel

 

Now the first problem:

When I check the generated AndroidManifest.xml, I don't find a 'meta-data' declaration for custom_notification_channel. Do I have to add something to the AndroidManifest.template.xml?

 

And the notification still play the default sound and not my notification.mp3
