Nest Doorbell Android Notification

I am looking to change the Nest Doorbell Notification on my phone. Currently it's the same as all of my text notifications, I would like it to be different so I specifically know when someone is at the door.

 

I've read multiple articles on here for changing the notification and most refer to "Sound When Doorbell Button Is Pressed" within a settings menu in either the Home App or Nest App, I do not have this option when I've gone through the previous how-to's.

I'm not sure about Android but I know that A LOT of people have requested this on the iPhone over  the years.  But it sounds like the Android works the same way.   Apple gives the user the ability to change the sound but it will change it for ALL 3rd party apps that need to make an alert sound.    Other than that is up to the 3rd part app to offer their own choices and a lot of them do not.  

I know at one point a few years back it was quite simple to change the doorbell notification within the app. For whatever reason, that option seems to no longer exist or has been changed as far as the process to get there. Not sure why that option would be removed or so hard to navigate. Hopefully someone has a better answer then what I've found so far.

The only thing I can remember is during the holidays Google lets us choose different ring sounds when someone hits the button.  There is usually one for Halloween and another for Christmas.   But beyond that I don't remember alternate sounds.
