How to Enable Push Notifications with Sound, Vibration, and LED for Android 9 and Above
In the evolving world of mobile app development, ensuring that your application can send effective push notifications is crucial. Whether you are using Firebase or another service, the goal is to keep your users engaged. Recently, many developers have encountered issues with push notifications on devices running Android 9, where notifications are received without sound, vibration, or LED indicators. This guide guides you through the steps necessary to enable these critical notification features effectively.
The Problem
If you have developed an Android app with Firebase for push notifications, you might have noticed that while everything seems to work fine on Android 6, notifications do not include sound, vibration, or LED indicators on Android 9 devices. This issue can lead to reduced user engagement and missed notifications. Thus, understanding how to configure notification channels correctly for Android 9 is essential for delivering a robust user experience.
The Solution
To ensure your push notifications properly include sound, vibration, and lead notifications across Android 9 and later devices, follow this comprehensive guide.
1. Add Required Permissions
First and foremost, you need to ensure that your app has the necessary permissions to send notifications. Add the following lines to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

Conclusion
Properly configuring push notifications for Android 9 and later devices involves understanding how notification channels work and setting the appropriate permissions. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should be able to reliably send notifications that include sound, vibration, and LED indicators, ensuring that your users stay engaged with your app.
If additional issues persist, consult the official Android documentation for notifications or reach out to fellow developers for guidance. Happy coding!
