Hi @Maria_Kudriashova

Do you send the notifications from a Push Template or use a basic approach?

As I know, targeting individual device by sending notification from push template is not possible.
That’s why I am using the example provided by a link in the question.

You can set the custom notification sound following these steps:

1. Locate your sound in the raw resource directory. For example: /app/res/raw/mysound.mp3.
2. Add the custom header with the name of your sound (without file extension):
   publishOptions.putHeader("android-content-sound", "mysound");
3. Send the notification with defined publish options:
   Backendless.Messaging.publish("Message", publishOptions, deliveryOptions)

Small icon for the notification can be set only from Push Template. Here is the example how to do it:

Hi @Roberio_Lima To set a custom icon for the push notification please follow the next steps: Locate your icon in the drawable or mipmap directory. Create the push template and set the value of “Small Icon” field to the name of your icon (but without file extension). Save the template and send the notification from Console or with API.

Also we will release the new version soon that will allow to send the push notifications to individual devices.
