Hey there 🙂  
Here I can Play a sound wich I choose: [https://fuseopen.com/docs/fuse/playsound.html](https://fuseopen.com/docs/fuse/playsound.html)  
But can I play the standard notification sound wich each user has on its device?  
Thanks 🙂

Push notifications already has a property for that, just pass in `"sound":"default"` into your notification payload.

Thanks 🙂Yes and that works like a charm for notification.  
The Problem is, that if the app is in foreground there is no notification. So I startet to display a custom notification on screen. This works like a charm.  
But therefore I want to play also a sound. The only Way I think is to play a Sound with “PlaySound”. But I dont want a special sound implemented, but the standard Sound of the user.  
You know what I mean? 😕

Ok yeah, I know what ya mean, I dunno how to play the devices default sound, I personally would find that quite annoying though, especially if there are a lot of notifications.

You could write your own native module to get the users default notification sound…

- iOS: [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/unnotificationsound/1649030-defaultsound?language=objc](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/unnotificationsound/1649030-defaultsound?language=objc)

- Android: RingtoneManager - [http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/RingtoneManager.html](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/RingtoneManager.html)

```auto
Uri uri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

```

…then just [check environment](https://fuseopen.com/docs/fusejs/environment.html) and play it.

Sounds great 👍🏼 thanks a lot 🙂  
You are right, too many are annoying, but it is only for a few and the user can easily turn this off 👌🏼
