Disable sound from NotificationChannel ANDROID Oreo 8.1

Today I started targeting API 28 which forced me to use Notification Channels.

My problem is that now on each new notification (including updates to it) an annoying sound is played.

SO here is the solution for you :

You have to use: NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW

The code is like following:

• NotificationChannel chan1 = new NotificationChannel("default", "default", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW);

will work for sure

Thanks
