I have a Galaxy Nexus, running AOKP. I disabled the stock Calendar app and downloaded the "newer" stock one via the Play Store. One issue I've run into with this new one, though, is that it makes the notification light blink when I have a notification for the next event on my calendar. I always liked to leave those notifications hanging up in my notification bar, because it helps me remember that I have to do something soon, but I don't like the LED blinking all the time just because I have one of those sitting in my notification bar. The LED never blinked in the original stock app...
I've looked through the settings of the app, itself, and all I can find is a setting to turn off notifications altogether, but doing so means I don't get the little reminders up in my notification bar. Did I not see the right setting, or is there no setting to turn off the LED?
What's kind of annoying, too, is that the LED notification for these reminders seems to "override" that of other notifications. For instance, I have it set up in AOKP to blink different colors when I get notifications from certain apps, but the color for the calendar notification seems to take precedence over the LED for everything else.
Any other suggestions, or am I out of luck?
Maybe I can't find the right setting to turn this on, but I've seemed to have lost the ability to have different/customized notification sounds for different people/apps.
When setting up my phone, I wanted to have different notification sounds for email, texts, anything else. When I go into Gmail to change my notification tone, it changes it for the whole phone. When I go into an individual text conversation in Message+ to change their specific notification tone, it still changes it for the whole phone. It seems that any notification can only be used by one ringtone.
I'm willing to bet I have something turned on/off that's preventing me to do what I want to do. I'd rather not have to try and look for some app that the phone should (has has with previous versions) do on it's own.
Appreciate anyone's help. :good:
Trying to figure this out myself. So annoying
Did you find the solution?
Can't get notifications from Facebook, Words With Friends, Facebook Messenger and other apps. No badge notifications or alerts. And I get Facebook Messenger notifications at the top of the screen with every text sent or recorded WHILE USING FACEBOOK MESSENGER! Anyone else having notification issues?
I texted with Samsung tech support (big mistake!) and they said that it was a hardware issue and to return the S9+ to Verizon for replacement. This makes no sense to me. Sounds like a software issue. Thoughts?
what launcher are you using?
if stock Samsung launcher, pinch in on the screen and go to settings... you'll find that notification badges have to be turned on there separately for some annoying reason
if any other launcher, make sure you've given it notification access under accessability so the launcher can read notifications and give you the correct 'badge' for the icon
I heard that for some, the battery optimization might be running too aggressively. Try going into battery usage, settings (3 dots), then battery optimization, then select to show all apps, then try unselecting the apps your having problems with. Give it a run for a few days to see if that helps.
I am using Samsung's launcher. Spent 2 hours on the phone with them. Tried everything. Nothing works. May have to do a factory reset
It's software issues. I got the same problem.

Tried your suggestion. So far, no dice.
Yeah I am looking toward a factory reset too. Notification issue but different. no Edge Lighting alerts.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Edge Lighting Notifications to work. After a week with this phone I am yet to see one. Samsung Experience Home. Notifications on for everything. No apps have Optimise battery usage. All I get is a notification tone, an icon on the AOD and a status bar icon. But for me Edge Lighting Notifications are totally MIA!
So I eventually got some Edge Lighting alerts to work. Primarily by going into each and every app that I awn the alerts from and setting "Do not disturb custom exception" to On within it Notification area. PITA to have to do this in each app when it should be settable from the system notification area one would think. Now have it working for Whatsapp, Skype and Samsung Messaging.
But for love or money I cannot get it to work for GMail. Anyone else got Edge Lighting alerts working with GMAIL. Setting "Do not disturb custom exception" does not do it.
I'm new to the Samsung phones and can't seem to get notifications to show up on my lockscreen or get the led to flash. I know you have to set this up per app in settings but I can't seem to find an option that allows for this with notification sound turned off. I'm especially having issues with Twitter and Gmail.
TIA for the help.
If your profile is "silent" or "vibrate", the notification sound won't come out.
So I just recently bought this device about 3 days ago. I'm a former iOS user and I'm really missing pop-up notifications on this device.
I'm aware that they do exist and work, but not in my case.
I've tried setting setting up App launch, Notification management settings, manually checking if an app like Messenger has notifications enabled.
I am getting notifications to my lock screen and status bar, sound and vibration, but I'm not getting pop up notifications while I'm doing something on my phone which is really annoying.
I've also disabled notifications on the status bar, but I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.
Another thing I've tried is using a fake notification app and setting up a custom notification. It works just like described above while the priority is set to 'normal'. When I set it to 'high' priority, only then it gives me a pop up notification.
Sorry if I'm not very clear on this.
I'm running EMUI 8.2.0 and Android 8.1.0, also using Nova launcher prime if that's any useful info.
Thanks
