Custom iOS push notification sound
Solution 1
According to the push notification guide:
You can package the audio data in an aiff, wav, or caf file. Then, in Xcode, add the sound file to your project as a nonlocalized resource of the application bundle.
It doesn't say anything about MP3s. I've used aif files which worked. I'd stick to what Apple specifies.
Solution 2
You can't play .mp3-files. However, you can convert them into .wav files here: http://media.io/ (online & free). Then put the converted file in your XCode project and you can call it by specifying "sound":"sound.wav"

I have been facing an issue. I implemented push notification in iOS with custom sound. Its a MP3 file. It plays well when I receive a push notification in iOS 5, but in iOS4, it doesn't play any sound. Can you help me with this?
The code is like this
{ "aps": { "badge": 10, "alert": "Hello", "sound": "sound.mp3" } }
