Hello,
I would like to know how can I set up notifications LED like I used to have when I had android 2.3.x.
Which means:
new SMS => constant blue led (used handcent to do that, now it doesn't work)
missed call => blinking magenta led
etc
Is there any way to succeed in doing this?
If there was some source I could read about the led notifications, please direct me to them.
Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your reply Adrian, I've installed it yesterday, but it doesn't always light up the LED when receiving an SMS :/

When I receive an email on my Desire Z, the LED indicator (same one that glows orange when charging and green when full) will blink orange to notify that an email has been received. However, when I receive an SMS, the LED indicator does not blink, and only the little rim surrounding the trackpad will glow every 10 seconds or so.
Is there any way to get the LED indicator to blink when I receive an SMS the same way it does when an email is received?
Thanks for any assistance!
I've the same problem too... seems to be a default SMS application bug
Try GO SMS or Handcent SMS, both made notification led work for me...
Have you tried using "led me know"? You can get it for free in the market.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Yes i tried it but sometimes works and sometimes not, even if i enable the Desire compatibility mode...
Both Handcent and GO SMS works...
So the LED indicator (same that lights up when charging) will blink with GO SMS? I'll give that a try.
It is a bit silly that the LED indicator flashes for an email but not for a text message...
Missed Call is another free app on the Market, which lets you customize the LED notifications, like LED Me Know.
Chomp SMS is another SMS client (my personal choice) that is pretty nice, that also makes the LED blink when a message comes in.

I'll try it Thanks...
I have Go SMS Pro installed and it doesn't work for me while a few days ago it actually worked with a nice bright blue led when I got a new text mesage. I already tried to disable, reboot and re-enable the led-notification, and also disabling the main settings of led blinking (for all different kinds of notification but it doesn't work.
Anyone who has a solution for this?
Hi
Does anybody know how to get the LED notification light to work through whatsapp? (I mean without using a 3rd party applicaiton). There is an option in whatsapp to have the LED blink, but I cant manage to get it to work. Any ideas?
Using stock 4.1.1 GSM GNex

What color did you select? Mine is set to green and works fine.
I selected green as well. Also tried a few other colours but still no luck.
Do do you have popup notifications enabled in whatsapp by any chance?

No. Disabled.
Is Whatsapp the only app that's having trouble controlling the LED of your gnex?
Activate and setup in app settings>notifications

@OP Are you sure the 'Pulse Notification' setting is checked to work?
(Settings > Display > Pulse Notification)
Can't think of anything else, my whatsapp led blinks green on notification just fine.
Yeah, pulse notification in the phones settings menu is enabled. I'm using light flow now to control my led which works fine. For some reason I just could not get whatsapp to blink the LED itself. So I went the 3rd party route.
Thanks for the help
hello, i'm using lightfow on AOKP black bean and generally it's work good
i noticed 've the same problem, no led notification from whatsapp...
i am using light flow lite for notifications (no whatsapp support), maybe it is causing this problem?

Whatsapp is supported in the full (paid for) version of light flow.

you can try reinstalling whatsapp or emailing them to report an issue
EDIT: Not sure if this matters but I have the Whatsapp version from the market (version 2.8.4771) but on their own website the version number available for android is Version 2.8.4923
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
Not sure what's that all about but you could try both and see if one works.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes thats something that I also thought of - whatsapp not having access to the LED because Lightflow has 'taken control' of the LED. However to test this theory, I uninstalled Light Flow, but still could not manage to get whatsapp to blink the LED by itself.

Why don't you use the LED Notification build in AOPK? Settings -> Rom Control -> LED Control

i did too...also reinstalled whatsapps without any luck
My Whatsapp doesn't blink the led either. It did a while ago I know for sure. It has just stopped functioning and I can't get it to work again. Not that important to me though.
Notification LED
Is it possible to use Light Flow Lite and have stock LED notifications work too?
ie. so whatsapp notification LED works too because both Light Flow and default LED settings are on
Hello.
I have problems with my led notification.
First, the problem was that even i didn't have any notification - the led was work and i couldn't stop it somehow.
So i download from google play some alapplications and try 2 fix it-
1. Light flow
2. Flash notification 2
3. Light manager- led settings
But all of this doesn't help and even make my led to get crazy.
Now my incoming call led notification is on yellow/red color and can't set it to green light again. It's looks like it's stuck or something, because even if i set green color to incoming calls it's still red/yellow.
Please help.
Thx.
It's ok now
Suddenly the green light is back.
If someone know how to fix the first problem it will help me.
Is anyone having this issue
If go to setting and click on my led notification they all show they work but yet when i get incoming text or email they dont blink at all
But if I tap my screen to open it blinks a blue led light and when charging my LED Red Light works
I am not sure why the hold up on text and email and other notifications.
Same here, AT&T model. When I go into notification> interruptions I set all interruptions but when I back out, it still shows have no notifications interupt. Is that what your seeing?
yes
yes im on Verizon and yes everything shows thats its on and I can test the lights when I click each one on under setting so they work. They just never work when i get notification like a text or email ...very strange ........ i have tried using light flow and when i click to test it they dont work either on the test

You turned off the screen when you test with LightFlow? You allowed downloaded apps in the LED settings of the system?
Hi guys, could you please confirm if the a2 lite has a notification led and if so is it multi colour configurable?
Yes. A singular color on the left bottom.
may as well class it as useless even when charging it still is white only

it's white nothing else.
So even if you install some extra software it will still be only white.

We get that it's white, the question is, can it be configured to illuminate on receipt of messages?

Maybe you can find some Xposed Module for custom LED...
That is sad my older phones at least have yellow red and green
It is even configurable via third party apps or like I am using custom roms
Any way it doesn't bother me if its blinking smoothly or at least just blink it not a sloppy 3 step transition
Have a look at the Light Flow app. Unfortunately changing the blinking speed doesn't work but at least it's possible to define the apps whose notifications are switching the LED on.
Sorry it seems there is much confusion around about the (white only) notification led. I'm still reading people stating that the led just lights up for showing that phone is charging, and do NOT lights up for notifications like missed calls, pending incoming messages and other usaual android notifications.
May you please confirm that indeed it DO lights up for android notifications and not only when charging? Thanks
One more thing: if it lights for notificatins but it also lights pemanently while charging, how do you distinguish notifications while charging?
It blinks for notifications and is permanently on while charging. Not sure what happens with notifications while charging as I only do it over night every 2-3 days. Never had any problems with the LED by the way.
Thanks rfkf you cleared it up!
If any wonders exactly.
Made some test.
White led only, off, blinks slowly or always on.
When a notification is received and screen goes off it blinks slowly.
When is charging led is always on but if screen is off and a notification is received it blinks.
When battery saver is on it blinks slowly, if a notification is received it blinks anyway the same way.
I only tested text notification, and I am using Textra, not Android message.

I found the app " light flow" just after reading this page : it enables to manage the led, : which event (battery full/ WhatsApp/messages...) will make the led blink or stay still, obviously no colour management for this phone and unfortunately no possibility to manage blink speed.
