No sound and vibration for GCM when built with Cordova but Ok with PhoneBuild #520

gongfan99 · 2016-01-16T21:58:19Z

My phone's android version: 5.0.1

Previously when I use Phonegap Build to create android GCM app, everything works fine. When app is in background, notification shows up in shade and emit sound/vibration. Then when I click the notification in shade, the app goes to foreground and "notification" event is fired. All good.

Then I download cordova (v 5.4.1) and android SDK ("android-22") to build the same app locally. The app is successfully built. When app is in background, notification shows up in shade but does NOT emit sound/vibration. When I click the notification in shade, the app goes to foreground but "notification" event is NOT fired.

The app's index.html is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src * 'unsafe-inline'">
<body>
  <p id="debuginfo">Debug: ...</p>
  <script src="cordova.js"></script>
  <script>
if (window.cordova) {
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
        var myConsoleLog = (function(){ // show messages in "debuginfo" DOM element
            var debuginfo = '';
            return function(msg){
                debuginfo = debuginfo + '<br></br> --- ' + msg;
                document.getElementById("debuginfo").innerHTML = debuginfo;
            }
        })();
        var push = PushNotification.init({
                android: {
                        senderID: "6xxxxxxxxxxx0"
                },
                ios: {
                        alert: "true",
                        badge: "true",
                        sound: "true"
                },
                windows: {}
        });
        push.on('registration', function(data) {
            // data.registrationId
            console.log(data.registrationId);
            myConsoleLog(data.registrationId);
        });
        push.on('notification', function(data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data.additionalData));
            myConsoleLog(JSON.stringify(data.additionalData));
        });
        push.on('error', function(e) {
            // e.message
            console.log(JSON.stringify(e.message));
            myConsoleLog(JSON.stringify(e.message));
        });
    })
}
  </script>
</body>
</html>

The config.xml is:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.sample.MyApp2" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
    <name>MyApp2</name>

        <allow-intent href="itms:*" />
        <allow-intent href="itms-apps:*" />
    </platform>
</widget>

The GCM payload is:

{
    "to" : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    "notification" :
    {
        "body" : "great match!",
        "title" : "Notification: Portugal vs. Denmark"
    },
    "data" :
    {
        "whatData": [{name: 'messages'}],
        "sound": "default"
    },
}

The only difference is "xmlns:" header in the config.xml. For Phonegap Build, it is "gap=http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0" while for cordova it is "cdv=http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0". The difference is not substantial, is it?

I am speculating that my cordova environment may be different from what Phonegap Build uses. I installed cordova and android SDK yesterday so each is the latest version.

When I look at the build log, some difference exists on some libraries' version.

Phonegap Build:

:prepareComAndroidSupportSupportV132310Library
:prepareComAndroidSupportSupportV42310Library
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesBase810Library
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesBasement810Library
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesGcm810Library

My local cordova:

:prepareComAndroidSupportSupportV132311Library UP-TO-DATE
:prepareComAndroidSupportSupportV42311Library UP-TO-DATE
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesBase840Library UP-TO-DATE
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesBasement840Library UP-TO-DATE
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesGcm840Library UP-TO-DATE
:prepareComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServicesMeasurement840Library UP-TO-DATE

Where else should I start to check? Thank you very much.

@gongfan99 try sending this as your payload and let me know if that fixes it:

{
    "to" : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    "data" :
    {
        "body" : "great match!",
        "title" : "Notification: Portugal vs. Denmark",
        "whatData": [{name: 'messages'}],
        "sound": "default"
    },
}

WOW! It does fix it. Thank you so much.

I am just curious why? The phonegap build does not require this payload format.

This is a duplicate of #515. You'll find more details on what's up with data|notification on payloads there.
