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.

I think it works for me but not entirely. That ecpksind why the missus woke me up the other night to complain about the led. Hope it's fixed soon.
Once fixed Fred, you can create a widget in tasker

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.

Hey guys,
if anyone is still looking for a fix.
I built a little plugin specifically for the galaxy s 3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117824
I'm glad we have a notification LED on the GS3, but I'm looking for something that will let us assign colors to different notifications, as well as let us control the blinking intervals. I looked at Lighflow's LED controller app, but it currently doesn't support the GS3. Any suggestions for another app? Paid or Free.
None work with blinking currently ... bug in driver it something. Also colors are wrong in all. Red is always always on no matter what rgb color code us passed to the Api.
Best I found to use is blink at least it let's you name the colors correctly that can be used on our phones.

^This. But, ultimately, our phone is screwy with LED notifications.
Lightflow works depending on the rom. no problems for me on stock

I just bought light flow once I heard its been updated for Jelly Bean. I'm running CM10 on my GS III and set up all my notifications. However even when I don't have any notifications my phone shows this dim green light. I've checked all my settings in light flow and have no idea whats causing this. Any ideas?

From the developers website...
" As many will probably know the hardware in the US S3 is different. Dual code compared to Quad and some variants with LTE.
Not only is the processor and radio hardware different but controlling of the LEDs is also different. At the moment the US S3 seems to have its color matrix mixed up, so issuing a code of Red will come out a totally different color. Putting out the color black (which we use when there's no notifications) causes the phone to display green."

Me too. When I saw it was updated, I was hoping it would work with the S3 but no dice. Most of the lights I set up would not work at all. And none of them would flash, just stay on constantly.
Although initially i was happy to know sg3 come with notification led, not anymore. There is something non standard about led notification in US phones which is making it not play nicely with many third party apps including light flow. It properly works only with stock dialer, stock email and messaging. Couldn't get it to work properly with k9 mail, google voice, good messaging, facebook app or anything else i use!

In CM10 you can change the led color without a 3rd party app, go to Settings > Display > Notification light > and you will see default where you can pick you LED color.
The developer of that app has an AT&T GSIII on the way to him he purchased to resolve this problem. It shouldn't be long.
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!

Well you really shouldn't have put it here because you sure aren't developing anything. You should read the forum rules so you know where to post.
To Your question there are apps in the play store that let you do that.

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.
Light manager works beautifully andbits free...no bugs

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

Another vote for Light Manager. It just works.
+1
Took me a sec to figure out the thread was moved lol. I was like "Ummm dummy this IS the Q&A section" Massive :facepalm:
Anyway +1 For Light Manager
So I noticed that I'm getting LED notifications on the top right of my screen. I didn't see this on stock Pie. I know it was hidden and you had to manually enable it, but not anymore I guess. I've been using the paid version of this app to customize my LED colors per app. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

Eh ive used that one in the past as well. It has a much larger footprint then light manager. I stopped using it years ago when it required a persistent notification.
Blue or green?
I do not use any LED color manager. My LED is very pale blue. I just noticed that my daughters pixel 2 xl LED is crisp, vibrant green. I don't see anywhere, natively, to change the color. Am I missing something, or is it maybe different hardware release builds? Anyone have thoughts?
I tested few apps before and Light Manager Pro is the best. Right now, you only can download Light Manager 2. But the Flash Rate option is disabled in Light Manager 2 and only enable in Light Manager Pro. There is no upgrade / support for Light Manager Pro version. Luckily, Light Manager Pro is still working OK on Pixel 2 XL.
I am using 2 apps for notification alert, Light Manager Pro + EDGE MASK. It makes my Pixel 2 XL looks very cool.

Light flow does not require a persistent notification, at least not anymore. I've been using it for years at this point as well, and I vaguely remember that persistent notification in the past. These days though there is no notification whatsoever showing, and the app works perfectly.
Although, for anyone else who may be interested in lightflow, you'll need to go to their website and download the legacy version in order to have it be able to set the light for missed calls voicemails and some other stuff. They can't put that version on the play store due to restrictions with permissions, or something like that.
