Either the 2nd or 3rd depending upon context. Was there one bang, as in someone bumped it? Or multiple bangs, like a knock?

All three options are correct but have slightly different nuances:
1. "I heard a banging on my door" - Suggests repetitive knocks or hits; it's more descriptive.
2. "I heard a bang on my door" - Indicates a single loud noise.
3. "I heard banging on my door" - Implies continuous or repeated banging.
Choose the one that fits the situation you're describing!
