[Q] Facebook app - no sound for notifications - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is driving me mad. Brand new 64GB Nexus 6 running stock 5.1 (47D). All notifications are working fine (Gmail, Fenix, various news apps) except for Facebook where I'm getting notifications but no accompanying sound (whatever ringtone I assign in the Facebook app settings). If I turn on vibrate in the FB notification settings then I get the vibrate - it's just the sound that's not happening.
I've deleted the FB app cache; I've even completely uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Checked all settings and they are identical to my GF's on her 32GB Nexus 6 and she does get sound with FB notifications.
Not sure what to try next.

I'm having the same problem. No matter what sound I choose, it won't work. Only vibrates. I have even reset my phone and it still doesn't work. I have a Nexus 6, stock, running marshmallow, no root. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Issue might be because of facebook notification sound is very short(damn ascending volume) and also for some reason Facebook itself is the issue(adding more delay to ascending volume or something else). For myself I let lightflow take care of notification sounds which some apps are acting like facebook.

Notification Issues (MLB At Bat & CNN)

Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

[Q] Gmail social/promo notifications

Hi all,
I've just upgraded to an N6 from the HTC M7 and having a small issue with gmail and the notifications. I get a notification sound and icon when something comes into the primary tab/label. I do not get any notifications/sounds when something comes into the Social or Promotion tabs. This is how my M7 functions.
I have checked the settings for gmail under both General Settings and the [email protected] which has Notifications and Inbox Sound & Vibrate (Label notifications, sounds, vibrate and notify for every message enabled). I've compared these against that of the M7 and they are like for like.
Right now, the Nexus is completely stock and gmail is v5.0.1 (1642443).
Any help/suggestions as to what I've done wrong would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eyeloose
Nobody else has experienced this issue?
Just checked gmail again this morning - no notifications but 4 emails in social.

Disruptive notifications

Went from a Note 8 to the Note 9, anyone else notice that some notifications are super disruptive and find the setting to resolve? Maybe I'm just missing something, but seems like notifications like facebook for example are awful.
Doesn't seem to matter if it's youtube, VLC, Poweramp, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. If I get a facebook notification, as it's the worst, it will pause my currently playing movie/music/video for a good 2-3 seconds and then resume playing. I didn't have this on the Note 8 and it's driving me nuts lol.
I figure it has to be a os setting issue (as all notifications do this) but I can't find a way to change it other than disabling all notifications all together.
I'm having the same issues. Was hoping this thread wasn't empty.
I was having the same problem. If you go into Settings > Notifications, you can manage notifications for each app. I don't remember for sure, but I think just about all of my apps' notifications were ON by default! I shut them all of, then re-enabled just the ones on wanted! Sometimes you individual apps will also have different settings for notifications, too. But at least going into settings allows you to just shut them all down for an app. Thank goodness! No more Facebook notifications! Just be careful what you shut off. I shut off messages by mistake. I wondered why I wasn't getting notified when I got a text.

Facebook notification sound

I know there were a lot of threads about not being able to change the notification sound in different apps... but none was talking about FB.
(BTW email notifications work although finding where to change it was a pain in the ...)
It drive me bananas since I see that in the app the push notification sound is the 'Facebook' tune one but on every notification I get the default phone notification sound...
Anyone solved it?

Missing notifications

I am running EX Kernel, Magisk, Edexposed, and Blackenedmod. I used to have all notifications come just fine to my phone and my smartwatch. Recently I stopped receiving certain notifications.
For example Snapchat no longer sends me a notification if someone is typing or if a message has been sent to me. I notice I have to open Snapchat before it pulls a chat update request from their server. Also, I have games that notify me about stuff every few hours/daily reset, but I no longer get those notifications either for those games.
Could I have done something to my phone where some apps give me notifications but others don't? I checked settings and no notifications are disabled. Wear OS is also set to disable notifications on my phone while I'm wearing the watch but I had that setting on before and got notifications just fine. Any ideas for me?
Edit: fixed Snapchat by reinstalling it. But reinstalling my game won't give me the passive notifications.
