Haiku Feature Request: HH Push Notification Sound Selection

[neillt]

So I was talking with a friend showing how I get push notifications from HH for different things.  But then we started talking about how all of the generic "sendNotification" method use the same sound, but how some special controller events like troubles and alarms have different sounds.
 
It would be nice to have an optional parameter to choose the sound played for a push notification.  The default can be the current one so it doesn't break functionality, but being able to say:
 
helper.sendNotification(controller,"Water has been detected on the garage floor!",siren)
 
so that it plays the siren sound instead of the default would be really nice.
 
I have no idea how push notifications work and what it takes to make that happen, but it would be a nice enhancement!

There is sendTroubleNotification() which is good for any trouble type event. We could add this but it would only support a fixed number of built in sounds. It might be possible to add sounds via iTunes > Device > Apps > File Sharing.

I'll add it to our TODO list.

Thanks!  Even the built in fixed sounds are fine...
