How to display the notification without playing any sound

Question

I need to show a notification without playing a notification sound using notification builder.

I tried using

set sound(null);

And I have also tried using the custom sound

Here is my code:

public NotificationCompat.Builder getChannelNotification() {
   getData();
    return new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext(), channelID)
            .setContentTitle(time)
            .setContentText(text)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_android)
            .setDefaults(0)
            .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_LOW)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setOnlyAlertOnce(true)
            .setSound(null);

}

@gaspar do you try this setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL) instead .setDefaults(0) — Mohsin kazi, Aug 24 '19 at 12:58
@gaspar For O version n above add channel.setSound(null,null) after creating NotificationChannel channel. — Mohsin kazi, Aug 24 '19 at 13:06
@Mohsinkazi, thank you, but what do I do for the versions that are lower then the O? — gaspar, Aug 24 '19 at 13:09
@gaspar for versions lower than O your code is correct (.setSound(null) or setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL) ) according to me. — Mohsin kazi, Aug 24 '19 at 13:14

Remove the line to builder.setDefaults(0); . It will not play the sound, but you may need to enable all other notification defaults if preferred
