Is it possible to set notification LED to blink for missed call on Micromax A1. Currently it blinks in Green colour for unread message. LED blinking stops after we press power button, and there is no blinking even if we dont unlock phone or dont read message. I want similar blinking if there is miss call.
I know it is possible with 3rd party apps, but I am not comfortable with those apps asking permission to access Contacts/Message/etc from phone.
Besides I also wanted to know how many LEDs are present in A1. Apart from Green colour for sms, I also see Red colour LED in ON state during calling. I guess it is different LED.
cmon being a Google user.. u shldnt worry about givn permsn. Android is all about open source , there's no place for privacy. notification works for msd call too. don't know wt u r sayn.

I know that there may be many apps which has access to phone which I may not be aware of
I have checked several times, Green LED notification only blinks for unread messages. For missed calls there is no LED notification.
Not only missed calls, But there is no proper use of LED indicator in this mobile. Battery charging, Low battery alert etc. I wish there could be an option for customization in Android L update.
After Lollipop update
I can now confirm Green Notification LED blinks for Missed Calls, unread Emails and SMS after Lollipop update
But there is no indication on LED during charging.
Earlier with Kitkat LED only blinked for new unread SMS.

I was recently going through the phone's settings menu, and in sound and display there is a section called pulse notification light which according to the description, pulses LED light repeatedly for new notifications. I have this checked to do this, but I have never seen the LED pulse for any notifications, whether it be incoming calls, sms, or email. I have checked and unchecked it, rebooted the phone, but to no avail I see no pulse notification.
Am I missing something here?
My phone is totally stock for the OS, and applications.
The notification LED light only blinks if the screen is off and if the notification LED light setting is enabled within their respective applications.
The screen is off, and I don't see any setting within the default messaging app, or the gmail app that says anything about LED notifications. I don't think that is very smart for a smartphone. I hate the phone vibrating while sitting on my desk, I would rather have the LED flashing to notify me of new messages, and/or email.
I'm sorry, there is no LED notification in the settings, bad memory LOL. The LED should work as long as Notifications is checked, although it may be defective, like blinking 5 times when you first receive an email or message, and then blinks sporadically afterwards. A fix is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11292197&postcount=4
It could very well be the case that your LED light is not working and you should go to a repair center to get it checked out.
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.

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 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?
Ive just noticed my notification LED isnt working, how do i make it work, i have got someone to text me with the screen off, still no led on silent, no led, on vibrate no led. what could be the issue
i had the same problem.
i knew the LED works because it lights up when i get an incoming call. but thats the only time it ever lights up. as soon as the call is missed it goes out, no pulsing light.
i downloaded an app called Light Flow (the free version) and works, as well as giving you much much control on the colour of the light and the different notifications it can be used on
Still cant get missed call led to flash even with light flow
any tips on setup ?
Pulse Notification Option in Settings, Display?? (Android settings that is ;-) )
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yer its ticked, before and after installing light flow and still nothing
Is more settings for light flow im after, if people say it works for missed call ?
i have installed the lightflow app to get more control of the notification LED but i noticed that after installing it the notification for whatsapp doesn't light up anymore. do you guys know how i would go about fixing or correcting this or is this a known issue.
also i have another question about having two notifications and how the LED reacts. Let's say I have a text come in (white LED), the phone will start blinking the white LED. Now, I don't wake the phone up and just let it sit there. Then an email (green LED) comes in. What is the LED supposed to do. from what I've seen so far, the phone just continues to blink the white LED. I thought it would blink both colors. is this normal? or what would be a fix for this?
thanks guys

I have the free version of lightflow and if I get a text (green for me) and then an email (yellow for me) It blinks a few times green, then a few times yellow, then green, then yellow. I've never tested with more than two colors/items.
As for the app "whatsapp",the app lightflow only supports "whatsapp" with the full version of light flow, I bet by turning on accessibility for light flow(free), it overrides the android defaults, hence nothing the app doesn't won't show. (Not positive about that)
You probably need the paid version.
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

But it can be configured to illuminate on receipt of messages?

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.
