Where to put custom sound file for push notifications in Ionic 2 for Android

Question

I am using the push plugin in my Ionic 2 app. Now I want to use a custom sound file.

I am sending the file name in my payload:

options = {data: {title: "Title", body: 'Body.', soundname: 'soundfile'}}

But now I don't know where to put the sound file in my Ionic project.

I am supposed to put it into res/raw. But is this inside my platform folder? Can someone tell me the correct path starting from the root directory?

I found the answer:

You have to put it in:

platforms/android/res/raw/filename.mp3

For iOS I put it here:

platforms/ios/res/raw/filename.mp3

In your options it's important that you inform the filename WITHOUT the filetype:

options = {data: {title: "Title", body: 'Body.', soundname: 'filename'}}
