I am getting push notification in background mode and in killed mode as well but I am not able to play the custom sound which is defined in the notification payload body in background and killed mode.

    Hi @Vic ,

    Forgive me I misunderstood your question, but I don't believe your notification message could (or should) contain the payload for the actual sound. The sound should be an asset in your app package.

    I did see https://stackoverflow.com/a/43284214/10987310 which contains a code snippet of how to play a custom sound with a notification. If you include the name of the sound file in the payload and use it to make the resource Uri.

    Regards,
    Ryan
