FCM custom sound not working on Android Oreo

[bochey1314]

I m using the fcm plugin(https://beta.ionicframework.com/docs/native/fcm) to do push notification with custom sound. Custom sound works on on IOS. However, it doesn’t working on Android Oreo. I read somewhere that in order to do custom sound in oreo 8.0+ . we need to create a channel first. My question is does anyone know how to do cusom sound in oreo with fcm or know how to add channel in this fcm plugin? thanks

I read that I may have to create a push notification channel for late…
