Hi,
Please forgive me if this is a noob question, but I've not found an answer here or elsewhere.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S6 and used the notification light to isolate between emails (Nine, for Exchange), SMS (Chomp), Facebook, Whatsapp, etc - each of which had a different alert tone and colour. Will Moto Display show interactive notifications for these third party services?
Thank you, in advance.

ya defiantly it will
By far the worst thing about Moto Display is that it will make it really difficult to ever buy a phone without again.
It is still, by a wide margin, the best implementation of an active display on any phone. And since it's hardware-aided, no amount of software is able to replicate it on other devices.
It will show you all notifications as they come in and any time you interact with your phone, be that by touching it, lifting it up, bumping the table or simply waving your hand at the phone like a Jedi master. You can then immediately interact with any of them.
You might miss the notification LED for a day or two but I seriously doubt you'll ever look back once you're used to it.
I like it here and there i own moto x pure and the z play, the moto x pure was my first moto phone with moto display, i was to used to the led notifications that when i looked at my phone and didnt see an led blinking i would think theres no notifications and that was an issue, but if i waved my hand over the phone i can see the app icons for notifications, so the issue was not seeing an notification alert at a glance, moto display has breath notification but idk if it just my deviced it dont last very long . Once i get a notification the moto display will breath for a few minutes then just stops.
At the end moto display does its job and it is pretty cool, but i still kinda miss the led here and there.

Thank you, guys. Hopefully there will be a setting which will allow me to keep the notifications active until I clear them.

That i beleive is because Moto X Pure has a LCD display and not an AMOLED screen. The breathing notification worked great on my Original Moto X.
And my Moto Z Play should be delivered tomorrow
So if I have a notification on Moto Display, will it 'breathe' on and off to tell me until I clear the notification, or will it just come on if I wave my hand over or move the phone?

I don't know if it's just me but i never caught my display to light with a old notification. Only when I get new ones or with some kind of movement.

That's a shame. I loved the LED on the Galaxy S6 which would flash a different colour with different notifications, so I could see what was going on from across the room.

I'm sure it'll be fine. (Better, though, if it always stayed on, so one didn't need to interact with the phone at all!)

Just thought I would share that this app works great with the nexus 4. It actually is running flawless for me right now go check it out in play store. You can control your led light on the front of the device with just about any notification and color
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite
Yeah I love light flow I use it on my galaxy nexus
Luckily one of the android blog sites helped test the app so I managed to get a release out before the phone came out. I'd hoped to get one myself, but 10 cart errors later and they'd all gone!
Glad it seems to be working ok. I'm working on improving the calendar reminder notification as they seem to go a little crazy at the moment due to change in the way notifications are displayed now (ie snooze a notification and it won't totally disappear from your notification bar - you won't get an icon, but it's still there when you pull down the bar). So this is causing some extra notifications while on snooze, but I'm hoping to get a fix out for it soon. At least I can recreate it on my galaxy nexus on 4.2.
I was getting my led glowing randomly since installing so I uninstalled.. Was I doing something wrong?
Also how badly does lightflow affect the battery?
Thanks

I have the full version.
I've noticed some colours aren't working properly. eg. Indigo will show the some colour LED as red, Navy and Blue look the same too.
Would really appreciate if someone could make a list of all the true colours that actually work?

A couple of things with this. Swiping away notifications won't stop the led at the moment: vote for this android feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23106
Also try adding the light flow debugger widget to a homescreen as that will tell you which notifications it thinks are on.
As for battery drain, I think it varies for different people depending on what settings they use. I try to set the default app settings to be fairly sensible on battery drain.

I'm planning in a future release to have a section where you can remap the preset colors to new RGB values as it's one of those things that varies a little from phone to phone. The colors were originally based on what the nexus one could manage (it was probably the best phone for color representation) and then tweaked a little for the galaxy nexus.
As I've not seen a nexus 4 (stupid google play checkout errors) yet I've not been able to experiment.
I installed the lite app, dunno why, my led was active all the time (white colour), even without notifications or plane mode. I uninstalled the app, and now my led doesnt work (Nexus 4)
I'd really like to jump on board with this app, but after a report of "My LED doesn't work anymore" I'm scared. I think I'll wait for the dev to get his own n4 to work out n4 specific kinks/quirks.

Regarding to this, I have to say that the custom color mode works very straight for me, the color that I chose is the colour what I see (taking into account the obvious deviations from IPS and RGB led, of course).
Under Settings there's something that says "Additional LEDs Found" and there's 4 LEDs there:
lcd-backlight control
lm3530 control
pm8xxx-led control
spotlight control
Any idea what these are for?
Thanks

Also, it does seem to work well so far, but testing the LED in-app does not work. Any idea why this is?
Anyone having problems with Gmail? If I set Light Flow to use priority inbox I don't get notification lights. If I uncheck use priority inbox then it works.

the testing does work. when you get the popup about waiting 5 seconds, immediately click the wake/power button and you should see the led trigger the tests.
Developer said Priority Inbox isn't working right under 4.2. Will be fixed once a fix is found. Regular inbox is fine.

I have a weird bug with LightFlow. When it is enabled i will randomly get Accessibility voice when inside chrome. Like, she will say "NEW TAB" or she will call out the page title of every thing. Then if I disable light Flow, the bug is gone.
Would like to use it but if with this here....i can't. Unless i got something set up wrong, but i check all accessibility settings and they are off except for light flow

Check other Lightflow threads. I remember reading about on the S3 thread or GN thread. I've never had it happen, but remember some other people talking about it.
Tested it a couple of day and is not working properly, light notifications are very slow to get dismissed and sometimes the led blink without a reason

What? No. Outside of only inbox and not priority inbox it's working great. Same as on my S3. It sounds like you didn't properly setup your dismiss settings for how you want it. There are a lot of options.

No.
but you can use app like "NoLed" from play, featuring a little notification icon on the screen, don't worry, it won't drain the battery, that's the advantage of amoled screen.
but the app still a little buggy.
I am also missing the notification LED. But probably could utilize the touch buttons. Any app to recommend?
Mine also doesn't has these notification features.Feel bad why samsung did this.Also my smart screen doesn't work.

Seems like that needs to be supported by a custom kernel. So we got to be patient it seems...I never gonna understand why Samsung isn't using the ****ing background light of the buttons for notifications (on devices w/o a dedicated LED)...I used that solution flawless on my aging S1 for 2 1/2 years now.
Is the issue kernel support, or is there truly no LED for notifications? There's two things to the right of the speaker, but maybe those are proximity sensors or something....
Since we don't have LED notifications you guys can check out Dynamic Notifications. Gives a nice clean look to notifications https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications
What's wrong with Flash Alerts 2? I use it all the time, if you opt for it, you can buy the premium version, I just use the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.megawave.flashalerts
He didn't say there was something wrong with it, apparently he prefers that app. Does flash alerts give led notification? I thought it was just a flash from the flashlight.

so basicly the second screen but full screen i dont get it this phone has the best notifications ever just put date and time as your secound screen off mode then turn see all notifications on on the lock screen and boom second screen shows when you miss a call double time the screen and you see who it is. why would you install and app that turns on the screen when you have a second screen just for that. or am i missing something
Can't see it from a distance. Led is great for that.

well i've had notes up untill now and i cant say i missed the led i actually didnt even realize the phone didnt have one till i saw this post. seeing that all it did was say hey unlock your phone something is happening lol now i look and i see oh its just and email back in the pocket you go. i think this is better cause now your phone doesnt have a light that says to everyone i'm checking a message of some kind lol now it just looks like i'm checking the time.
Led was great, color coded for text messages, email, missed calls, etc. But hey, if you are happy, I'm happy for you.

:good: Thanks I was all set to download an app. No need now!
Easy solution to those missing the led, we can just make an app that makes the second screen flash different colors at full brightness. Heck let's turn it on permanently and the screen and go rainbow in equal divisions of color based on the order the notifications come in. I'm tempted to put a /s on this but I think I might actually use it if it became available...

Agreed. The camera led is obnoxious. Brighter, blinking, colored images on the second screen needs to happen.....why on earth are All the second screen notifications white?!
Also.....missed call AND text reminders need to be standard on new devices. Is there a rational explanation why my brand new tech still needs an app for common sense stuff?

NO LED
IF we can get this app to display on the second screen I think we will have a almost perfect solution:
NoLED app by madmac
For rooted phones w/ Xposed, just get the enable ambient display module.
That you can now swipe away notifications from the lock screen without the screen lighting up all the way? I just noticed this haha. Now it's more like the Moto display. SWEET!

No because on the nexus 6 and even the Pixel, when you touch the notification on the lock screen the entire screen would light up full color. NOW the notification stays black and white while you swipe away.

I guess you're right, I never paid attention to whether it was in color or not, just glad that I could swipe away without unlocking.

Yeah it was a big thing for ex-moto users. We got used to it and swiping away notifcations in the dark wouldn't light up the entire screen causing the room to light up. PLUS the reasoning for staying black and white was that its' supposed to save battery by not having to fully enable the screen.

with the ambient display or whatever it is you can swipe away whatever notification without waking up your phone to show the entire lockscreen.

That wasn't the original behavior. I'm wondering exactly when it changed. The original ambient display behavior was that if you touched the notification on the lockscreen, the ENTIRE display would turn on including your wallpaper. It doesn't do that NOW but I'm just curious if anyone knows when the change was implemented.

Yes. I'm on O. you can only do it when the initial notification comes in. Once the initial notification disappears it goes to the small icons with no info. THAT part I do no like
it's always worked that way as long as you did nothing other than swipe the notification, at least it always did for me. it was only if it actually registered as a tap that the screen would light up or if you stopped mid swipe.
What I think is cool is that you can now swipe a calendar notification and pick a snooze option!

So its new phone day (well its day 3) and i have problems i hope you have solutions. So the old phone (also running pie) ment i could change my text tone (tone1) facebook notifications (tone 2).
So i now have tone one as the default tone but it now is every tone on the phone, so easy go in the app and change it. Except messages does not have a sound option for notification.
Not to worry i think i can just change facebooks sound ....nope that don't have a sound for notification section ... ah i think i can turn facebook sound off .... i only need to see the notification in the shade ... nope facebook doesn't have that either ... any advice?
Thanks in advance
