Description

Requested in 5593151-zd-woothemes:

One thing I really appreciate about the iOS WordPress app is that it has it's own unique notification sound. I wish we could have this same sound in the android WordPress app. I realize that Android sound notifications are highly customizable, but since the WordPress notification sound is not bundled with the Android app, I can’t associate that specifically. In a future version, I’d like to suggest including the same notification sound in the Android version which already exists in the iOS version.

Research direction

Start by locating how notification sounds are bundled and selected in the Android WordPress app, then compare that behavior with the existing sound in the iOS WordPress app. Done means the Android app includes the same notification sound and makes it available for WordPress notifications.
