Push notification sound is not working - ios

I am using Push Notifications in my app.when notifications comes,i am not getting the notification sound of the notification and also in iPad settings i switched-on all the notification buttons in iPad even though the notification sound is not coming.
{
alert = "Testing commands#2014-12-01T12:16:26",
sound = "default"
}
I am getting the sound file like this.But the notification sound is not coming.
I am new to the PushNotification concept.Can anyone please help to solve this...

you should use JSON format to send your notifications encapsulated in aps dictionary like:
{
"aps" : {
"alert" : "Your message.",
"badge" : 0,
"sound" : "default"
}
}

Notification delegate not being called when app is in background when notification is received

I am using firebase cloud messaging to send push notifications to our iOS application. When the application is in the foreground everything works fine.
The problem is when i send the app to the background and then send a notification.
I expect the following delegate to be called, but it is not:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any],fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult)-> Void) {
I have ticked the "remote notifications" background mode in my apps signing & capabilities tab.
The payload i send to firebase looks like this:
{"to":"--TOKEN--",
"priority":"high",
"content_available":true,
"mutable_content": true,
"notification":
{"body":"Test Notification",
"title":"New Notification",
"sound":"default",
"click_action":"notification"
}
}
This payload is sent to firebase via https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
When i click an notification it is then processed, and i can see the apns version i receive looks like this:
[AnyHashable("google.c.sender.id"): 8xxxxxxxx, AnyHashable("gcm.message_id"): 1xxxxxxxxxx, AnyHashable("google.c.a.e"): 1, AnyHashable("google.c.fid"): fxxxxxxxxx, AnyHashable("aps"): {
alert = {
body = "Test Notification";
title = "New Notification";
};
category = feedback;
"content-available" = 1;
"mutable-content" = 1;
sound = default;
}]
I am not sure why content-available and mutable-content appear in quotes? I know firebase convers its payload to apns format, is there something wrong here?
I want the delegate to be called so that i can execute some code to maintain various data items, so it is important that i can run some code when my app is in the background and a notification is received.
I am not sure what config i am missing as everything i read seems to say this is all i need to do?

FCM Push Notification "content" entry

I'm using FCM to publish push notifications to my users, which is working great so far.
Currently I'm trying to implement a Notification Content Extension to deliver customized push notification and previews, which is working great with local notifications, following this post.
As far I know, I have to set the category entry and my notification category identifier in the push notification, in order to tell iOS, which notification UI it is supposed to use.
The problem is, when I send the following message to FCM, with the category entry set, FCM erases the entry or changes it to gcm.notification.category, depending where I place the category entry (aps / data, etc.)
This way iOS never shows my custom UI / extension. Unfortunately I was not able to find any help in the FCM documentation.
Send (POST: https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send):
{
"notification": {
"title": "Good Morning",
"body": "Wake up Jack!",
"badge" : 1,
"sound" : "horn.aiff",
"category" : "Cheers" <-- Is going to be deleted / changed
},
"data" : {
"time" : "2018-01-19 23:00:00",
...
},
"mutable_content" : true,
"priority" : "high",
"registration_ids" : [
"abcdefg123456"
]
}
Received:
{
aps = {
alert = {
body = "Wake up Jack!";
title = "Good Morning";
};
badge = 1;
"mutable-content" = 1;
};
"gcm.message_id" = "0:1516392279506894%dc84760ddc84760d";
"gcm.notification.category" = "Cheers"; <-- not working
}
The category APNS parameter FCM counterpart is click_action.
When adding in a custom parameter (using the data message payload), it is handled differently for iOS and is often included outside of the aps payload (like in the sample you provided).

JSON structure for an iOS 9-10 silent push notification

We are developing an app which could receive remote push notifications. We just understand that there are two types of notifications, “normal” and silent.
We want to know the JSON structure of a silent notification with message.
{
"notification_type":2,
"aps":
{
"alert":"Message de la notification",
"content-available":1,
"badge":1,
"sound":"default"
}
}
For silent push notifications we omit the alert, badge and sound (that are not used in silent pushes) keys and then the notification is not displayed, but the handler is called. The json should look like this:
{
"aps":
{
"content-available":1,
}
}
You can send extra contents with the notification too, so your app will know what to do:
{
"aps":
{
"content-available":1,
}
"example-action": "example"
}

How to send a silent Push Notification payload

I just want to know how I can determine what action to do on a silent push:
This is the aps that I sent to the client:
"aps": {
"content-available": 1
}
My problem now is when I add type: "Order_Update" to determine that the silent push is for the Order Update to display an alert notification.
There are a few options for it! Let's take a small ride to understand all the different payloads and their usage.
Simple Payload
Displayed in Notification Center : Yes
Wakes app to perform background task : No
{
"aps" : {
"alert" : "You received simple notification!",
"badge" : 1,
"sound" : "default"
}
}
Payload With Custom Notification Sound
Displayed in Notification Center : Yes
Wakes app to perform background task : No
Step 1 : Add custom notification sound file (.wav or .aiff extensions only. e.g. notification.wav) in your app bundle.
Step 2 : Configure your payload as shown below to play your custom sound
{
"aps" : {
"alert" : "It's a custom notification sound!",
"badge" : 1,
"sound" : "notification.wav"
}
}
Notification With Custom Payload
Displayed in Notification Center : Yes
Wakes app to perform background task : No
{
"aps" : {
"alert" : "It's a notification with custom payload!",
"badge" : 1,
"content-available" : 0
},
"data" :{
"title" : "Game Request",
"body" : "Bob wants to play poker",
"action-loc-key" : "PLAY"
},
}
Here the data dictionary holds custom information whatever you want. It will also display as normal notification with the alert message "It's a notification with custom payload!".
Normal Silent Notification
It will not a show an alert as a notification bar; it will only notify your app that there is some new data available, prompting the app to fetch new content.
Displayed in Notification center : No
Awake app to perform background task : Yes
{
"content-available" : 1
}
Silent Notification With Custom Payload
Here comes the magic to show a notification alert as well awake your app in background for a task! (Note: only if it's running in background and has not been killed explicitly by the user.)
Just add the extra parameter "content-available" : 1 in your payload.
Displayed in Notification Center : Yes
Wakes app to perform background task : Yes
{
"aps" : {
"alert" : "Notification with custom payload!",
"badge" : 1,
"content-available" : 1
},
"data" :{
"title" : "Game Request",
"body" : "Bob wants to play poker",
"action-loc-key" : "PLAY"
}
}
Use any of these payloads according to your app requirements. For background app refresh refer to Apple's documentation. I hope this gives you all the necessary information. Happy coding :)
As i understand, you want extra data inside payload, so you can identify what push notification type is,or what action need to be handled.
For that edit your payload as:
$body = array(
'content-available' => 1,
'sound' => ''
);
$payload = array();
$payload['aps'] = $body;
$payload['action'] = 'order_update';
Then in your iOS Code:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
NSString *action = userInfo["action"];
if([userInfo[#"aps"][#"content-available"] intValue]== 1 && [action isEqualToString:#"order_update") //order update notification
{
//handle Your Action here
return;
}
}
Hope this solves your problem!
Please also check apns-push-type (Required for watchOS 6 and later; recommended for macOS, iOS, tvOS, and iPadOS) The value of this header must accurately reflect the contents of your notification’s payload. If there is a mismatch, or if the header is missing on required systems, APNs may return an error, delay the delivery of the notification, or drop it altogether.

How we can fetch push notification in background

I am receiving push notification in that payload message i am receiving one URL with message as push notification. but i dont want to show URL to user i want to show only message to user. is it possible from ios side.
If your are using url as a separate key in aps then its possible you can display alert only as a message, otherwise any message can't be modify message in background.
"aps": {
"alert": "alert!",
"sound": "default",
"URL" : "your url"
}
yes, its possible but it also depend on how you have created your payload but its simple as you create your payload with your link and message, receive at your delegate
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)pushChatObject {
// get the message value and NSLog is or set to UIAlert or in NSString
(pushChatObject)[#"Message"];
}
You can, but you shouldn't, because
Delivery of notifications is a “best effort”, not guaranteed. It is
not intended to deliver data to your app, only to notify the user that
there is new data available.
(c) Apple
Specify the notification message as
{
"aps": {
"alert": "alert!",
"sound": "default"
},
"URL": "http://apple.com"
}
When you receive the notification in the app just check for your param in the notification dictionary:
// Place this method to AppDelegate.m
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:
(NSDictionary *)notification {
if ([notification objectForKey:#"URL"]) {
NSString *url = [[notification objectForKey:#"URL"] stringValue];
}
}
Check this section of Apple's Local and Push Notification Programming Guide for more info
I think in this case you can use Child properties of the alert property, you use 1 argument as a alert and another argument as a url, like:
"aps": {
"alert" : {
"loc-key" : "ALERT",
"loc-args" : [ "Your alert message", "Your url"]
},
"sound": "default"
}
When the device receives the notification, it uses "ALERT" as a key to look up the associated string value in the Localizable.strings file in the .lproj directory for the current language. Assuming the current localization has an Localizable.strings entry such as this: "ALERT" = "%#";
And later on you can get your url using aps NSDictionary.
