How do I play a sound when I receive a Push Notification from Parse?

Question

I'm having trouble finding something that works or maybe I'm not understanding correctly, so let's start from scratch.

App A is pushing a notification to App B like so:

NSDictionary *data = @{
                           @"alert" : @"Purchase Successful! 1 Remove Ads",
                           @"badge" : @"Increment",
                           @"sounds" : @"Bell.caf",
                           };
    PFPush *push = [[PFPush alloc] init];
    [push setChannels:@[ @"Mets" ]];
    [push setData:data];
    [push sendPushInBackground];

App B Receives the push notification like so:

//

#import <Parse/Parse.h>

    // Track an app open here if we launch with a push, unless

    BOOL noPushPayload = ![launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
    if (preBackgroundPush || oldPushHandlerOnly || noPushPayload) {
        [PFAnalytics trackAppOpenedWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions];
    }
}

                                                    UIUserNotificationTypeSound);
    UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:userNotificationTypes
                                                                             categories:nil];

                                                     UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
}

return YES;
}

    NSLog(@"application:didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError: %@", error);
}
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
[PFPush handlePush:userInfo];

if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive) {
    [PFAnalytics trackAppOpenedWithRemoteNotificationPayload:userInfo];
}
}

//}

@end

Now how come I don't hear any sounds go off when App B receive's the push notification? No sound when the app is closed and the banner notification appears (which I'd like a sound), no sound when the app is open and the notification appears (just a vibrate, that's odd).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Did you check the setting of push notificaiton in the device setting? — tuledev, Aug 28 '15 at 06:03
Yes, the phone is NOT in silent mode and Yes, the sound option in the push notification settings is pressed. "/ — Creagen, Aug 28 '15 at 06:06

NSDictionary *data = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    @"This is an alert with a custom horn sound!", @"alert",
    @"Increment", @"badge",
    @"homerun.caf", @"sound",
    @"5", @"score_REDSOX",
    @"0", @"score_YANKEES",
    @"4th", @"inning",
    nil];

PFPush *push = [[PFPush alloc] init];
[push setChannels:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"REDSOX", @"YANKEES", nil]];
[push setPushToAndroid:false];
[push expireAfterTimeInterval:86400];
[push setData:data];
[push sendPushInBackground];

  "alert": "This is an alert with a custom horn sound!",

I have achieved this through PHP code to send Apple Push Notifications.

$body['aps'] = array(
'alert' => 'Hi hello message......',
'sound' => 'Bell.caf',
'badge' => '1',
);

May be this will help you.
