Local notification in iOS coming without any sound

Question

-(void)notifyMe
{
    UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
    localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0.1];
    localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
    localNotification.alertBody = @"Alert";
    localNotification.alertAction = @"Local notification";
    localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
    localNotification.alertLaunchImage = nil;
    localNotification.userInfo = nil;
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
}

This is the method I am calling for local notification. This is working fine with other applications. But with my working one, notification is coming but with no sound.

I guess there is some problem with app setting, but I am unable to find it out.

Have you checked the hardware/software sound mute switches on the device? — Nikola Kirev, Oct 07 '13 at 07:29
Ya, on the same device the alert is working with other apps. — user2706166, Oct 07 '13 at 07:40
How are you invoking this method? I think, that if you get the notification while the app is opened, it will not play a sound. Try setting a longer interval and send the app to background. — Nikola Kirev, Oct 07 '13 at 07:51
I have created a new app and use this same code on a device(ios7) it worked. And the same code on same device, but on my working app the alert is coming with no sound. And more interestingly if I am running my working app in iPod having IOS 6 is also working fine. — user2706166, Oct 07 '13 at 08:03
have you off the sounds for notification for this App in Settings. check that Settings->Notifications->Your App->Sounds — manujmv, Oct 07 '13 at 08:16

I found your question as I had run into the same problem. Turns out it was a simple fix on my part, my code was fine all I had to do was enable push notifications for my app (which I had already done but was getting no sound or badge), and then switch Badge App Icon and Sound to ON.

I'm surprised there have been no other answers to this question in 6 months.
