Example 1: Create an alert

Goal: Create an alert with heavy vibration and sound.

To achieve this the following code can be used:

  "type": "alert",
  "params": {
    "vibrate": true,
    "vibrationType": "heavy",
    "playSound": true,
    "soundType": "default"
  }
}

The sound does not play when the device is muted
