Description

Hi, I want to be able to set a sound file in external storage as notification sound. As of Android 8.0 I solved this problem by assigning audio files to the channel myself. But I need help with versions before 8.0. Can you add a feature that will solve this problem?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the plugin handles notification sounds on Android versions before 8.0 and how external-storage paths are represented. Confirm the supported pre-8.0 versions and define the expected behavior for a sound file outside the app package; done means a notification can use that file consistently on those versions.
