When my phone is plugged in and charging the red notification light is no longer lit. Messaging notification has stopped working to. I'm on the lollipop update and have these apps turned off idk if they might be the reason. Anyone that knows why this is happening please don't hesitate to help. I know the light still works when I power down
Found it in display settings

After disabling notifications for light flow, the status bar icon is gone, but the LED doesnt work normally now. Normally i set to LED shinning colour when plugged in but now after i disabled the notification, the LED doesnt light up anymore. Anybody else having similar problems?
Im guessing its due to the app not being updated for 4.3 yet.
App runs just fine here.

Make sure Accessibility is on in setting. I missed that myself.
That seemed to fix it.
Sent from my bathroom throne.
I have a stock Note 4, never been rooted. When I used to plug in the charger, the notification light would light up red with the screen off, and if I had notifications it would blink blue.
Today it stopped doing that. I tried restarting and removing the battery, same thing. The only time the light will come on is if I restart my phone, it turns blue for a little bit, but notifications nor a power cable plugged in will trigger it.
Phone is less than a month old, I don't have the TEP on it, would Sprint replace it with a refurb model if they're unable to fix it?
edit: I found a way around it by going to accessibility > notification reminder > and turning on LED indicator, when I turn it on though it warns me that using this feature disables the charging notification. I guess it’s better than having no notification light at all.
edit2: there's another option under settings > display and wallpaper > LED indicator. for some reason that was unchecked. turned it on and everything is back to normal.

Thank you!! I had the exact same problem and the "edit2" solution solved it perfectly. :highfive:
Has a proper fix been found for this yet? I have a Samsung Note 4 that was just updated to Android 5.1.1 and the LED notification stopped working. I have gone through all of the settings that effect it, but nothing works. I am not interested in a work around. I am only interested in having my phone function as it is supposed to.
guys, i didnt get the exact moment when it stopped working and can only speculate about what caused it, but my notification led isnt working any more. nothing triggers it. not whatsapp, not gmail...
is there any way to test it or tune it without relying on third party apps?
im on stock taimen with flash kernel, systemless xposed and gravity box.
thanks!
I dont think it ever has??? Isn't that why we have always on display and dont need notification light?
It definitely works. I use the app Light Flow - LED Control to customize my LED. Maybe try that app with charging light and see if it turns on when charging. Make sure you have blink light turned on in apps and notifications --> notifications --> Blink light.

I second this. Works fine for me.
Hi guys,
So this has been driving me nuts.
The notification blink light is turned on in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications. However, I've never seen the LED actually turn on during normal usage. Not during charging, nor when charged, nor when I have any kind of notification active (emails, texts etc etc).
I suspected the actual LED component might be broken, so I downloaded Light Flow and ran some tests. Yes, the LED works and will display in any colour during Light Flow tests. However when I go back to just using the phone normally, nothing. The LED never turns on. I'm on 8.1. Completely stock. No root.
Any clue why this is happening? I'd appreciate any help or ideas whatsoever.
Thanks!
Ben.

My LED works too at least when I test it. However it does not work when enabled. Seems like google disabled it on purpose because of the on screen notifications.

Confirmed... that fixed it. Thanks.
OK, so after doing this, the notification light will blink when i receive an incoming email, text, or call?
Is anyone else facing buggy notification light, when I bought the phone I didnt even know it was there I found out when I plug it in to charge but after I tried and wanted to see if it blinks for notifications and it wasnt. But after a while it started blinking for some notifcations while it still doesnt work on third party apps like telegram
