So I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the LED lights within Tasker? I have a night profile where it turns down all the sounds, vibrations, etc etc but noticed last night that the LED light was flashing for some emails I had come in. I had a look in the tasker settings but I couldn't see any that would disable the LED?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
OK, I shall keep up this conversation with myself (the voices in my head make me feel like it's a normal conversation with others though ). I found the setting in tasker to turn off the led - it's in the audio section and it's called 'notification pulse'. In my night profile I have now set that to 'off' but it made no difference and any emails during the night had the led flashing
You can use Light Flow to disable notifications at a certain time, plus you can do a lot of customisation.
You need root.

I reckon, you don't need root w light flow, but other than that bortak is absolutely right. Light flow does all that and perfectly.
Yes, you are totally right. I have installed and uninstalled lightflow a few times already. While it does do that for me, it's just not quite working right. I kept on having a notification light flashing after dismissing or viewing a notification. It just wouldn't stop flashing. That was bugging me more than the extra features I got out of the app, so I've removed it again.

this is because you havemt set the "clear notification style" parameter. set it to 'screen on'. so that once you wake up the screen al notifications are cleared and u wont see that blink again. Normally it is set to 'app entered', where you have to go to the app (or the phone and click on the missed call etc). set it to what I told to all your notifications.
Thanks. I'll take another look at that. I thought I had it set that way but wouldn't be surprised to see I was wrong. I do think that I'd tried entering the app as well when it wouldn't clear, and still wouldn't.
Hi!
Im searching nearly same. Im looking for a solution to switch off and switch on this notofication Led like i want by a tasker or by a widget 1 click.
I dont really like the app light flow.
Tasker is audio>notification pulse

Thanks rootSU. I had found that, but it doesn't seem to be working on the S3. I found the tasker google group and some similar problems exist there. One is having the same problem as me, and another I think is trying to turn the led on but it's not working; all S3's. Maybe tasker isn't optomised for this on the s3 yet?
I've found lightflow to be hit or miss. Sometimes the led keeps flashing even when the notification is dismissed (have checked my settings, even tried different ones), and the day before flashing for sms's stopped working. Even a reboot didn't fix it. So, I lived without the led's on my S1 and I'll do the same here. I had them on last night and kept waking to a notification of some kind and found that too annoying.
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. Appreciate it.
Just a widget 1 click to switch would be perfect for me.

Don't suppose anyone's come up with any more ideas about this? I have emailed the tasker developers and I don't think they were 100% sure, but didn't think the notification pulse setting was for disabling the led's completely. I still try playing with lightflow every now and then, but the little bugs I have (mostly sms notification led not dismissing without reboot or entering lf app (only thing that works is having manual dismissal but it's a pain)) are still present for me. I also tried it with handcent but was getting no led notifications.
Hey guys,
I figured out a fix for the Verizon Galaxy S3. I know there are differences between the way the international version and US versions handle the notification light, but it might at least give you guys a starting point. You do need root.

need help jellyverse rom v0.3 i get notified even after turning off the led in the settings it blinks blue not big of a deal but does seem to drain battery after a few hours
Has anyone found a way to do this yet? Notification Pulse doesn't work, at least on the SGS3. I have tried LightFlow in the past, I found it buggy and uninstalled it.
I've been using light manager to manager my led for a while now. Doesn't have the talkback issues I had with lightflow, and free.

Please read again.
Settings -> LED Settings
Red is low battery and/or charging
Green is fully charged
Flashing blue means there is a notification of some sort.
Thanks Lenny,
The manual does not help:
●● Missed event: Set to turn on the service light when you have missed calls, messages, or notifications.
Doesnt say "Blue" anywhere so not exactly easy to find!
Paul
It's blue for every app notification unless you have light flow installed so you'll have to work out which app is notifying you
Usually I've forgotten to read an email or text message though - annoying though when you can't track it down

I use calendar snooze for my appointment reminders, and I set it to flash red for them.
I have been looking in Tasker if there is a setting there to turn reminders off while my 'night' setting is active. I also find them annoying during the night, but haven't been able to find a setting there yet. Anyone got any ideas?
what has to be done or there's an app that's already out, the led has to flash for a certain time and it turns off. constant flashing will piss people off and may possibly kill the battery

If you really think about it though, that flashing light probably consumes less battery then you having to turn on the screen to see if you have a new notification that you might have missed. Even if your screen is on for 5 seconds it is still waking up the phone and causing it time for it to fall back into sleep.
Quick question here -
On the OG Evo my favorite mod was the WiMax notification mod that enabled the green WiMax light to stay lit when I received a text message.
I know the Evo 4G LTE doesn't have this light. Is it possible to have the blinking notification changed to a constant on? That way it's harder to miss when I get a new text message.
How hard would it be for a developer to make this happen?
Thanks in advance!
And to go along with this could we get a mod so that the notification light doesn't time out after 5 minutes if it hasn't been checked? Kind of a useless light unless you look at your phone every 5 minutes. It is one of the main reasons I switched to Cyanogenmod on my EVO Shift.
The constant on mod would be nice. I wouldn't have to stare as long wondering if it is in fact blinking.
I use Handcent and while it's a little bloated it does allow you to set the charging light to flash when a text is received and also the frequency and color of the flash. It might be an option for you until someone creates a mod.

Wait, the notification light times out after 5 minutes? Seriously? I thought maybe I was just seeing (or not seeing) things. That's irritating.

I actually really like the stock one that is included in this build. I've had sketchy results with third-party apps in the past and don't really need the extra bloat typically.
Appreciate the suggestion though, that's more along the lines of what I'm interested in. A constant-on notification light would be perfect.

Menu/Settings/Notification Settings/Notification Settings (again)/Check the "LED Plus" box. You should then see a dropdown for LED color (Green or Amber) and another for LED Frequency. Not sure if you have to be rooted to select LED Plus.
I used the wimax notifier on the 4g, but it would be great if a ROM developer could include some tweaks for this!
I use this and it is godly light flow
It takes a while to figure everything out but once you do it's amazing

I'm on 4.2.5 and it's been there through multiple updates. It's possible it wasn't included for the LTE I guess, I'm still using the OG EVO (for now). Maybe someone else can verify. It would be hard to believe they would remove it for certain phones but who knows.

I tried this on my LTE, and it only worked in Direct mode, which gave me very few options. How did you get it to work?

I also tried this and although it works if my phone is silent the light turns off after a couple seconds if my sound is turned on. Also, the light doesn't flash it remains constant which I don't mind at all. However, I need to hear my phone sometimes so until that gets cleared up this isn't an option for me.
Ok for handcent there are a couple things but it does work even on our EVO LTE.
First I don't think the option is called LED Plus any more. To get to those options open up one of your text messages like you are reading it and at the top right side there is a little gear settings button. Click that and select Notification Settings. When you scroll down you will see three settings under the heading "LED Settings"; Blink LED, Color of LED and LED flash frequency. Those settings would have solved our problem. The problem is they are grayed out on our new phones. Bummer. I guess it means handcent isn't fully compatible with Sense 4 yet.
We can get around that though!
Now back out of your messages so that you are at the main screen of handcent where you can see all the contacts who have messaged you. Now press menu> settings>notification settings>notification settings. In here you will see a set of options called reminders. Turn on reminders and make sure the frequency is set for 5 minutes. 5 minutes is when Sense will usually time out a notification. Also, make sure to set the number of reminders to keep repeating so that every 5 minutes you get a new reminder. These reminders seem to restart the notification to your phone. You will get another notification sound/vibration or however you have yours set up and the led light will continue to flash like you just received the message. I don't think there is a way to not have the sound/vibration go off again unless your phone is on silent. Doesn't bother me since if I haven't checked the notification by then that means I still need to be notified.
Another cool thing about handcent is if you like the way the stock messaging app pops up your text on the lock screen handcent can do that too. It's in the options to popup on lockscreen and you also have to check the option for popup on lockscreen fix for some phone on Android 2.2+. You can even check an option somewhere in there so that the popup only shows up on the lockscreen and not when you are using the phone.
With these options I can make handcent function identical to the stock messaging app but have my notification led remain on forever until I clear it. I also turned off notifications for my stock messaging app and under display settings in my phone turned off led notification for sms/mms so handcent is controlling them.
Unfortunately this does nothing for emails, phone calls, etc but really texts are the one thing I need to know about since it is the primary way my wife communicates with me during the day.
I have also tried Light Flow but it doesn't seem to work at all. My notifications still turn off after 5 minutes even in direct mode.
Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone else is having any issues with tasker and their s3? I want to have my LED turned off during my night profile, and have the notification pulse action set to off, but they still flash for notifications. I've asked at the tasker Google groups, and a couple of others seem to be having an issue with tasker controlling the s3 LED.
I know I can use light flow to control it, but I get inconsistent results with that app. Some notifications don't flash, and sometimes I can't get the flash to clear without a reboot. So I've given up for the time being.
Or are there any other apps out there that can control the LED?
Thanks.

I was having trouble with Tasker & LED control on my S3. After playing around for a while I found that Light Flow was interfering. After uninstalling, Tasker controlled the LEDs properly. I haven't tried turning them off though, only from the task that lights them up, but that works.............I hope this helps...........

I am able to consistently turn off the notification light at night using a preset task in NFC Task Launcher. You will need an NFC tag and will have to remember to use it. I have mine set to toggle along with notification volume and put it on my bedside table, where I charge overnight.
I didn't put this thread in q and a since it's not really asking for basic help.
Moving along, i like the way the led pulses on phone power off with the animated Samsung logo. Is there some way to get the led to pulse like that for notifications? I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more ways to customize the appearance of it.
Thanks in advance!

Not sure what I did but I have Lightflow working with talkback off. I'll mention that Lightflow works best when you have root which I have. My setup does just what I want. Also note that the Note 2 has a setting that enables flashing the LED for incoming messages, voice mail and one other thing I can't recall. The drawback of this stock capability is that the flashing goes off when the screen comes on. I only want the light off when I go to the app causing the LED notification which Lightflow allows me to setup.

If rooted, the light will stay on when the screen is on using light flow - go into settings and enable root mode and s3 root mode. Unless I misunderstood what you said, in which case, my bad.
Also, once it disables air view to turn on light flow, just go back in and turn on airview

There's an older app for that on the play store. Called LG notification lights or something like that. Doesn't officially support OG, but might be worth a try. I don't recall any talk of the feature... Probably because we have a notification light. It was popular on the i777 though.

Thanks. I'll have to check that out. The only reason I want it is because of the case I have. :good:
I have confirmed that LG Touch LED Notifications by Martin Börjesson works on my E970 with KitKat AOSP 4.4.2. I have the Diztronic TPU case that covers the notification light. When I get a notification it will vibrate first (can be adjusted), then light the capacitive buttons. Perfect!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinborjesson.o2xtouchlednotifications
I used to have a Samsung Moment that did not have a dedicated notification light, the Devs used to do kernel edits that allowed for the BLN app by Neldar to work.
Also, just in case there is anyone like me who keeps their phone on vibrate but still wants notification lights for Gmail without the vibrate notification, do the following within the Gmail app:
Press hardware menu button or three squares menu button in top right of Gmail app to access Settings;
Select your connected Gmail account;
Leave Notifications box checked, press Inbox sound & vibrate;
Press Sound, select Silent;
Make sure Vibrate is unchecked.
What I would love to see is the ability to assign up to three types of notifications to the three capacitive buttons that we have.
Example:
Missed call = Back button
SMS message = Home button
Gmail message = Menu button
Missed call + SMS + Gmail = All three buttons lit. Hmm... maybe I will email this suggestion to the Developer of Trigger - location profiles to see if they could add this sort of functionality to their already awesome app.
Does anyone know if the E970 has one LED light to illuminate all three capacitive buttons, or are they three separate LEDs? Edit: Boo! Only has two... http://imgur.com/a/ydoJb
I've been using an app called ButtonLED I found on XDA since ICS days and still works with KitKat roms. The GUI is pretty basic and not the prettiest but the app is functional. When you turn the logs on, it will track what app or keywords appear in the status bar. You can then go in and add that app or keyword to be excluded and not trigger the notification. I'm going to check out the LG app and see if that performs better (battery drain, etc). Here's the link for the info on ButtonLED... http://www.xda-developers.com/android/buttonled-turns-your-hardware-buttons-into-a-notification-led/ Even though the app is not being updated, I've been running 1.6 with no issues.

didn't work on mine unfortunately. I'd tried it a couple of weeks ago while looking for solutions on this issue (along with many other apps). I'm on SnowJB. So far the only one that has worked is using Xposed+GravityBox... the problem with that one is that it seems to link the side notification LED red light to the front softkeys LEDs, so when the phone is charging and the red LED is flashing on/off the front LEDs flash as well. This bothers me because once I go to sleep and charge the phone the white front LEDs do seem very bright... plus I don't like the fact of having them flashing every night for 8 hours straight, gives me the impression that it'll cause them to get damaged much sooner than normal since they weren't really desinged to flash like that. There is an option on GravityBox that says DISABLE LED FLASHING WHILE CHARGING... which I thought could've helped to prevent that charging flashing but at least in my case that option did nothing,
It would be awesome if someone could come up with a mod for this. Even better if someone knew what file could be edited through root browser to make the red light flash faster on notifications.

didn't work either... which version did you install? (I saw there were several on the dropbox download link).
The problem I have with these apps is that they interrupt the normal function of the softkey lights... for example I like to have these lights always ON while my screen is ON as well, I don't like them to time out... and there is an option withing stock Android to set them up like that.... but when I use an app to use the LEDS for notifications for some reason it disables the stock preset and shutts them off entirely while the screen is on... I kinda gave up on this. I'd just be so happy if I could modify the frequency of the RED LED on the power button on notifications.

I use the same setup with cap keys always on. That's the downside all apps/mods have regarding the keys getting disabled when the screen is turned on after a notification. Simply turn the screen off and back on to reset the keys and they will turn back on/reset. I'm using 1.6.
