When I receive a text message I want the screen to wake up for a few seconds. I can't find this option.
Using stock EVERYTHING right now.
I know other apps like GO SMS and Handcent have this option. But, anyone find a way with stock text message client??
no way to do it with the stock app. Unless someone finds a way to make it happen
I think the led notification is all ya get with stock with i like because it uses less battery
Lightflow app (led color control app in the themes/app section) does it as well as sms reminder etc. Theres a bunch of apps thatll do it for the stock messaging app.

Can't do it with stock... at least not stock phones on Sprint.
The stock SMS apps on US Cellular Android phones do this... I'm running a ROM on my Moment based off the Acclaim (DL25), and the SMS app turns on the screen for a couple seconds if not in use, or beeps quietly if you are on a call.
Hello everyone,
I recently got a nexus and love it. Just one thing that I can't quite figure out is the notification light. Is it supposed to come on, when you have a text, email and notification from an app? I have it activated in settings but it doesn't seem to be coming on when I have a notification. Any ideas or special settings I should be aware of?
BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE!
When I'm charging my device, or if I receive a message my led lights up. I have light flow installed though. Didn't set up anything in my rom control settings.
Also when you receive a message do you check it right away or let it sit? If I check my message right away it doesn't come up if my phone is idle it flashes as a reminder.

Thanks, I can try that program. But isn't it supposed to show the notifications on its own? It did light up ONE time when I got an email. I'm on stock 4.0.2.
* Lightflow seemed to correct the problem. THANKS!
the built in notification is a fail. all the apps have their own settings which is why some pulse and some dont. Just download light flow..more control as to colour and pulse time and speed and such.
I dont use any app and my light works fine. Text blinks blue using handcent, google voice blinks green, gmail blinks white.
I believe the led can be configured by any app if the dev codes it in, but google did not give us control of it, instead letting devs handle it. Cyanogen surely will have built in controls.
I did a search and didn't find anything(although I used the mobile app to search, read:aggravating)on this subject. I want to know if there is a mod to change the led flash to blue for messages and missed calls instead of red. Just a personal aggravation, really. Not something I absolutely can't live without, clearly.

The only thing I know of is to use GO SMS. You can change the LED to blue for SMS messages through GO SMS but I don't think it will change the color for missed calls.
LightFlow has been working very well for me on default mode on EL29 and FC22. Only blue and red work, but they work reliably. You can get purple to work if you use "direct mode", but I find that the LED turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode, so it's not very useful as a notification light.
re
I as well have been looking for a WAY or MOD or APP that will successfully allow me to change the LED notification accordingly but yet have been able to find anything that FULLY works. Liteflow doesnt FULLY work as the adjustments are off and when screen times out its pointless pretty much.
The ONLY thing Iv been able to find for another "notification method" is having the LED Flash from the Camera flash for an alert. Pretty cool thought if you have your phone faced down and dont here it.... Send me a message as for request if anyone wants the know how to set that up and I'll give you step by step..
try blink from the marketplace. its like lightflow, but its much lighter and more efficient and works great.
keep in mind the led will only display blue red or purple tho.
blink is one of my must have apps

Hey man, might i ask how do i set it up for my camera flash to be my alert for notifications? that would be awesome
I've read some people saying they have had really bad problems with Lightflow that affect things like booting their device while others have said they have had no problems at all with it. What is your experience with it?
The options for LED control sound awesome, but I'd prefer not to screw up my week-old GN if I can help it.
In my experience, it works flawlessly
I've never had any problems. I definitely suggest giving it a try. I'm sure you'll love it.
The only problem that I have is when I dismiss an notification, the light doesn't go off. It keeps blinking.
Eg. Facebook notifications. I swipe them in my status bar to remove them, but as soon as I lock my screen, the notification LED glows blue. It happens sometimes even if I read the message or notification in the app.

Now that you mention it, when I received an email through the Hotmail application the light would not go away unless I opened the app. That's the only flaw I've found.
The only issue I have is that you have to open the app for the notification to get rid of the blinking light. Everything else works fine for me.

Iirc, it happens that way because lightflow monitors the apps, not the system notification. Like the description says, if the app isnt in the lightflow monitoring list, you wont get an led light for it.

There's a couple o' spots in settings, one in general, and one for the specific app notification that should look after that.
i. e. Clear the light after opening status/notification bar.

I used to have it and had no problems at all. Worst case you can always just delete the app.
I rooted my phone and downloaded a custom rom and now don't need light flow anymore since the rom has custom notif. light set up.
Never had problems, I set it to dismiss notification with screen on so I don't have to open that certain app
I've had extreme display glitches. Upon boot my screen would flash a green/pink burst of static, and post light flow I haven't a single issue.
Try Liquidsmooth, the integrated led has all of the same features.

This.
Have used lightflow in the past, worked flawlessly.

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at [email protected]
To use it:
Install App.
Disable any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
Thats it.
For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.

Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.

If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Give your feedback!!
Working great, good job!
What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.
Thanks in advance!

Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.
This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!
I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts
Fantastic
Brilliant
Go work for 1+
Show them how to do the job properly
Great start!! works like a charm, agree on the systems apps thing though..
Wow, Great App.:good:
Works Perfect.

@HarshBoy99 Hello! Thank you for the job you''re doing, but if you don't mind, i would like to point some important things.
You'r app uses a black overlay with a colorized dot in the corner, it's cool but there is a but. If The device is in a pocket, and you're using a pocket detection, the screen will turn on and show the pocket detection screen - what kinda annoying issue.
Another moment, again - becauses there is a use of black overlay, when there is already a notification panding and you recieve anothere on, there is a head-up notification with the all status bar info that shows up, again - kinda annoying.
As a recommandation - trigger the built-in AOD app instead of using a black overlay, that will fix the issues i've mentioned above + there will be an option to use fingerprint scanner on notifications.
Wish you the best!

Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.
Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.
There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.
Thank You!
I wish there is an more option for WhatsApp. I do not want to receive LED from the Watsp group
Thanks

Thanks for the app.
I have a problem in my op6t.
When i use the app and the notification led is on, the unlock button does not works well, i mean, i have to push three or four times.
Sorry about my english, i hope you can understand me. ?
@HarshBoy99
Power button does not wake phone when I receive any app notifications.

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.
App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.
The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)
Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.
An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)
If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.
That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.
Other then waking the phone this app is bloody great ?

Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.
