I want to know if there's a way to control push notification's sound and vibration in a react-native project.

Actually I want to let user decide If notifications should have sound/vibration or not. User should be able to completely disable these functionalities.

I've search for this everywhere, but my question has differences with typical questions:

• I want to let user decide (If sound or vibration should be disabled or not), so I want some package or something that have Javascript implementation so that I could add this functionality to my app's setting view.


• I want to be able to do this in both IOS and Android.(feel free to answr if you have only knowledge in either case)

you should use react-native-push-notification package. just follow the documentation.

After installing the package and link it to the project.
Settings the notification is done (from documentation):

PushNotification.localNotification({

    /* Android Only Properties */

    id: '0', // (optional) Valid unique 32 bit integer specified as string. default: Autogenerated Unique ID

    ticker: "My Notification Ticker", // (optional)

    autoCancel: true, // (optional) default: true

    largeIcon: "ic_launcher", // (optional) default: "ic_launcher"

    smallIcon: "ic_notification", // (optional) default: "ic_notification" with fallback for "ic_launcher"

    bigText: "My big text that will be shown when notification is expanded", // (optional) default: "message" prop

    subText: "This is a subText", // (optional) default: none

    color: "red", // (optional) default: system default

    vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true

    vibration: 300, // vibration length in milliseconds, ignored if vibrate=false, default: 1000

    tag: 'some_tag', // (optional) add tag to message

    group: "group", // (optional) add group to message

    ongoing: false, // (optional) set whether this is an "ongoing" notification

    priority: "high", // (optional) set notification priority, default: high

    visibility: "private", // (optional) set notification visibility, default: private

    importance: "high", // (optional) set notification importance, default: high



    /* iOS only properties */

    alertAction: // (optional) default: view

    category: // (optional) default: null

    userInfo: // (optional) default: null (object containing additional notification data)



    /* iOS and Android properties */

    title: "My Notification Title", // (optional)

    message: "My Notification Message", // (required)

    playSound: false, // (optional) default: true

    soundName: 'default', // (optional) Sound to play when the notification is shown. Value of 'default' plays the default sound. It can be set to a custom sound such as 'android.resource://com.xyz/raw/my_sound'. It will look for the 'my_sound' audio file in 'res/raw' directory and play it. default: 'default' (default sound is played)

    number: '10', // (optional) Valid 32 bit integer specified as string. default: none (Cannot be zero)

    repeatType: 'day', // (optional) Repeating interval. Check 'Repeating Notifications' section for more info.

    actions: '["Yes", "No"]',  // (Android only) See the doc for notification actions to know more

});

The package is for Android and iOS...one code for both platforms

few points to mention:

1. iOS - vibration & sound are combined, one can't disable the sound but activate the vibration


2. iOS - to enable only vibration without sound, you should "attach" a silent sound file that will be attached to to the sound property.
