Note: You Not put Alert Notification sound means Its default Take System(iPhone or iPad) Message Tone.

You can't get List of Tones from iPhone.Apple not allowed this. WhatsApp may be used for copy the tones and add their resource file.

Reference: Access apple's iOS ringtones and display them

The aps dictionary contains a property that specify a sound to play:

{
    "aps" : {
        "alert" : "You got a push.",
        "badge" : 9,
        "sound" : "bingbong.aiff" //here
    }
}

You have to embed the sound file in your app, if you like the systems sounds, then try to make your own.

Documentation

The name of a sound file in the application bundle. The sound in this file is played as an alert. If the sound file doesn’t exist or default is specified as the value, the default alert sound is played. The audio must be in one of the audio data formats that are compatible with system sounds; see “Preparing Custom Alert Sounds” for details.
