[4.5.0.18] Notification sound and LED no longer working for some Android apps

4.5.0.18 release notes for Android aps tell: Notification actions have been improved (custom actions)
Now I’m desperately trying to find out what “custom actions” means, and how I can get my Android apps to produce sound and LED indication again.
In previous Sailfish versions I added two entries into /usr/share/lipstick/androidnotificationpriorities, but I learned theis is no longer used.

More details:
I’m using MicroG to get push notifications for two apps: SocialChess (com.woodchop.chess) and Flashscore (eu.livesport.FlashScore_com). These notifications still appear in the notifcation area, but they produce no sound and do not switch LED. What do I have to configure to get sound again.

Sample messages of these apps, which I caught with dbus-monitor:

Hi i see this post. I have the same.problem with eBay Kleinanzeigen
Where you make this.configuration for your apps?

Sorry, I can’t help you. in pre 4.5.0.18 versions of Sailfish, there was a way to configure sound for notifications of android apps, but as you can see, there never was an answer in thist thread, and I also did not find any solution to get sound again for android apps

is a fix planned? we need custom notifications in AAS!!

You have to allow notifications from the SFOS settings as well as from the settings of the relevant Android apps.
I’m on SFOS 5.2.0.22 and that’s what I had to do. Now notifications for my AAS apps (eg. SIGNAL, THUNDERBIRD) work.

Yes, there are SOME Android that work. In my case it’s only Signal. But for most of the Android apps there is only a message text in the notification display, but no sound and no LED indication.

Same here. No notification sound for some AAS apps. Is there an issue tracker somewhere?
