Solution 1

your JSON "sound" : "default" should be inside the "notification" key not in the root of the JSON. This JSON should work.

{
    "to": "myToken",
    "notification": {
         "body": "test",
         "title": "test",
         "sound": "default"
    },
    "priority": "high"
}

Solution 2

When using the FCM admin SDK, you have to specify sounds separately for Android and Apple devices:

let message = {
    notification: {
        'body': 'This is the message the user sees',
    },
    data: {
        'param1': 'specify some extra data here',
    },
    // Apple specific settings
    apns: {
        headers: {
            'apns-priority': '10',
        },
        payload: {
            aps: {
                sound: 'default',
            }
        },
    },
    android: {
      priority: 'high',
      notification: {
          sound: 'default',
      }
    },
    token: 'target FCM token goes here',
};

(Note: I've only tested the Apple settings thus far)

Solution 3

    payload = {
        notification:{
            title: 'SOLO has been changed by an administrator',
            body: 'Administrator changed your SOLO schedule',
        },
        android: {
        },
        apns: {
            headers:{
                "apns-collapse-id": "solo_changed_administrator",
                "content-available": "1",
                "apns-priority": "10",
            },
            payload:{
                aps:{
                    sound: 'default',
                    badge: 12213123223
                }
            }
        },
        data:{
            type: 'type'
        }
    }

I am using Firebase push notifications in my iOS Application. Although I am able to send the notification by sending below payload, it doesn't play a sound when received.
```
{
    "to": "myToken",
    "notification": {
        "body": "test",
        "title": "test"
    },
    "priority": "high"
    "sound": "default"
}
```
If I send the test message from console, it works well and plays notification sound.
Note:
1. My Authorization code is correct
2. I am sending http request to https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
3. I have tested it on IPhone 4 , IPhone 6 and IPhone 6S, All recieve notifications without sound

  i am getting notifications from fcm . now , i want to make functionality such as when i will get notification from fcm , app should play a sound file without even touching notification message . do you know how to do that ? didRecieveRemoteNotification will only get executed when user tap on notification . i want to play a sound file like alarm tune when i get the notification . please guide me through it .

where should this json file exist ? because i'm testing the notification via ui firebase.com , so how can i send this payload with sound?

Good call - I haven't been able to find any info on getting notification sounds to work in IOS anywhere, didn't realise it was part of the APNS object! Cheers for this.

Thank you, it worked for me. Would you please provide the source of your answer? Thank you.

@DuncanJones, actually, your answer didn't work for me with iOS 12.1 but putting sound:'default' in the non-device-specifc notification object ultimately worked for me.

but it takes only two arguments (title and body) if you do it without json: Message.builder() .setNotification(new Notification( "$GOOG up 1.43% on the day", "$GOOG gained 11.80 points to close at 835.67, up 1.43% on the day.")) firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/topic-messaging

Attention, this is only true if you use legacy api, and not http v1 api. see this page: firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/migrate-v1
