Yes, the sounds can be defined by the app.
In the iOS case (with Cordova) the only way to make the sound play
that I
know is to put the file in the project's root and pointing to it. I
tested
and it works. Not that i use it very much, but sometimes it's needed...
The function you use to play a sound along with the notification is:
if (e.sound) { var media = new Media("/android_asset/www/" + e.sound);
media.play(); }
I didn't manage to make it work. Anyway I think it would be more "normal" a
function like the one I sent. But, as I told before, the vibration and / or
sound play only makes sense when the notification arrives in the
notification area, not before I pressed on it.
Mind for instance a geofenced notification:the user must see it at the
moment it arrives, and not 30 minutes later. In this case the vibration or
sound are very important.

Are there no "out-of-the-box" sounds for Android?
I thought the iOS sounds were not driven by the indiviual app.

I haven't play too much with sound but e.sound is supposed to contain the
filename of your sound file (like beep.wav / sirene.wav ...)
