Hello
Ive seen a Huawei Ascend G630 that a friend has and he told me that the notification light when receiving WhatsApp messages does not work. The light is green by WhatsApp configuration.
How can I test the notification light is working correctly? When charging, it does light up.

I have Huawei Acend G630,and I have issue with LED indicator,its only on when charging or when the battery is low..its off for notification,I tried many apps to test it and its not blinking.
My friend have a same phone (just white edition,mine is black) and his LED indicator is blinking on notification.
HELP me,what to do,I had a BlackBerry,and i get used to led indicator,i want it to work on my g630
I'm not sure if this is the same as your problem, but my old phone only had blue and red LEDs, so setting the light color to green would result in nothing. If changing the color doesn't fix it, then I don't really know what the issue is, but you could try using an app such as Light Manager to test out the light.
Tried
Tried with that app and no light works when testing..... maybe a update???
SOLVED!
Install "Notification light widget" from google play store.
Add widget on homescreen and just tap on it.
I dont know whats cause this bug but this widget force LED light to start working.
Then install light manager if you want to edit your light colours
Just Google for every f*****g thing
If this work for you click thans button
Cheers!

Its said for motorola but for me its worked on Huawei.
Try to make a new google account,its possible that notifications are turned off on google settings from your smartphone that you had before G630.
First what I've did is creating new google acc and installed NLWidget and LED its work!

OK, on usual devices, just drag your application to the app info icon and when it opens, on the top left corner just below the app name you can toggle on/off notifications. Please let me know if this works.

Well making a new Google Account for this doesn't make sense. Also, the person before had the same Google Account on another phone and the notifications were lit up perfectly on the person's previous phone. Anyways, I DOUBT this has ANYTHING to do with, for example, WhatsApp, notifications.

It sounds odd because by defect it IS activated so why would it be deactivated? Also, with the widget and the light manager app it does not light up either.
There was to be some strange software bug in MIUI playing up here.

The glitch is a side effect of restoring from your Google account to the phone, which is part of the setup process for the phone. The feature downloads apps and settings from the cloud, which is usually a good thing. But in some instances it can tell the phone to restore the notification LED setting from another phone, leaving the light disabled with no way to re-enable it.
Fortunately there's a simple fix for this issue, and it's one that apparently applies to Motorola and some other phones too...
Motorola has released a widget that lets you toggle the notification light on and off, so if you're affected by this bug simply download it, place it on a home screen and toggle it on. After that you can remove the widget and your notification light will continue to work.
I dont know why but this bug comes with old google acc.
My LED was dead(it was on only on charging and batery low,not for notification),and I did factory reset,create new google acc. installed Notification light widget,and LED started to work,then I installed a Light manager for editing colours for notification.
Strange but black G630 have this bug,white G630 LED works perfectly.

Is the widget for activating it when you receive a notification? I might have been doing something stupid as in just toggleing on and off without doinging something.
Im going to turn it on using the widget and then send a WhatsApp to that person and see if it works.

Creating a new Google Account is a overkill and completely out of the question. At most, in the Google account, there has to be a setting to receive notifications. But even then, notifications are received perfectly; It just the light that doesn't turn on!

You have absolutely 0 proof of that. And I can confirm it isn't connected to this bug at all.

Are you solved your problem with LED ?
Mine is work perfectly whats with yours? Send mail to google and they will tell you am i in right
I've searched forum plenty, seen replication of these issues and tried suggest fixes, nothing works.
1) Gmail LED. When I get Gmail mail, I get notifications in lock screen and top notifications bar, but no LED light flashes like it does for other apps (example, yellow for unread Snapchat). I've tried enabling various notification permissions.
2) Missed calls. If I miss a call, I have zero notifications of this. I only noticed if I happen to open my Dialer app and I see it in the logs. Otherwise, no notifications on lock screen, nothing at top notifications bar, no LED light, nothing. I've tried suggested fixes like disabling spam caller id.
3) for some reason my phone thinks it is wirelessly charging at random times. I do not own any wirelessly charging devices.
4) double notifications sound and vibrate. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/double-notifications-t3768124
I have Samsung s9+ unlocked, using stock launcher. SAB enabled.
I've tried Samsung support and they don't have a clue. Any help?
Updated with a #4 problem I've found on my phone
I also have the samsung unlocked version and I'm not experiencing any of those problems. I have also read a couple other post about it, I have sab enabled and using stock launcher too. Could it be a carrier thing maybe?
1. I normally use Lightflow for LED control, and get LED notifications, but to try this out I disabled LF and sent myself an email. No notification light. And I don't see anywhere in settings to control this.
2. Ditto for Lightflow. Don't have any missed calls to check without LF at the moment.
3. Haven't noticed this.
4. Haven't noticed this, either.
Check out Lightflow. It really make the LED useful and informative, letting you choose different colors, blink patterns, and vibration patterns (if you want) for each different type of notification.

Which lightflow app did you get, pro version? I'll give it a try ....

Yes, Lightflow Pro.
But using LF on Samsung phones is a little weird. There's a version of LF called Lightflow Legacy, which works better on Samsung phones. I think you can just install the legacy version to test it out. If you install the Pro version, it will prompt you to install the legacy version over top of Pro.

Am I missing a way to get normal heads up notifications on lock screen other than the Always ON display ( all I can see is an Icon Notification here)?
I really want something that shows me more than just the Icon...
Has anyone found an app that actually allows a notify over lock screen? or screen wake up?
The Notific, FLoatify apps have some serious incompatibility issues with Oreo....
So they only way to get ANY notification is with Always on Display?
Deleted at OP's request.
I use Glimpse Notification. Unfortunetly this app only wake up screen when notification is comming. Wish app that use ambient display. You can try AC Display app, but on my V30 not working good.

Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.
FIRST!
So, I've installed and tested and here are my initial findings:
It works great and looks gorgeous!
If you have your notifications set to display the notification contents, those contents will also flash on the screen.
The default display interval of 60 seconds works perfectly, but when I set it to 30 seconds, it flashed approximately every 10 seconds for some reason.
The notification it chooses to flash doesn't appear to be based on the most recent received or highest priority. Can you explain how the app knows which notification to flash on the display?
So far, there is no way to interact with the notification. Swiping away or double tapping do nothing.
The only way to wake the phone is to press the power button or fingerprint scanner.
This is a great start and I hope you please keep up the great work! I will be donating to the cause!

The times were accurate on my pixel 2, but my pixel 3 which only just arrived, was being stopped. Probably due the aggressive process killing I've read about. So this morning I quickly added a secondary wake to keep it from being killed. I'll sync the times when I get home from work.
It uses the natural order of notifications. A priority option would be a good idea.
No interaction yet, but that's planned. So is a blackout period (don't pulse when you're sleeping for example).
Ignore my comment about the notification priority - that was user error.
Feature request: Can you add an option to have the ambient display stay on (no pulsing) until the user bypasses the ambient display screen? The flashing of the ambient display is a little distracting when the phone is on a desk. This way, we could still tell at a glance when we have a notification waiting, but the screen will go back to all black once we act on it or simply unlock the phone.
I can try but it may not be possible without root.

I have been working on a similar app, and could not find a way to get this to work while still allowing the device to doze, so the battery life is heavily impacted. Did you solve the battery drain issue?

I haven't noticed a battery drain issue, but I'm hoping xda can help find one if it exists. I'm not actually turning on the screen so doze should remain active.

Ah, I see. I have not actually run your app. I did not realize that your were pulsing the notifications themselves -- that's clever! For my own implementation, I am animating a fake LED that fades in and out, which obviously requires the screen to be on. The AOD has a way to doze with the screen on, but I have not found a way to expose that functionality to an app without root.
Anyhow, I see you are using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle to schedule your pulses. I wonder what the battery (and timing) impact is compared to setAndAllowWhileIdle?
Nice work on this!
I originally went down the road of doing a custom screen to mimic the LED until I came up with this idea.
From other threads I've seen some people will prefer that even if it uses slightly more battery.

I'm willing to be a tester for you if you need one. Pixel 3, rooted with magisk.
There's now an option to be able to swipe to dismiss and double tap to open the app. I'm working on notification actions next.

Dude, you're a beast! Keep it up!
I may be able to use the real icons and colors. If so should I just remove the icon customization or would people still find that useful?
Hi mate, i bought your app right away. If you can integreat the original Icons for the famused apps, that would be great.
And can you look at the puls time? I set my time to 20 seconds but it puls every 40 - 50 seconds? Strange.

just as it is perfect now, only the repetition time does not work reliably
There is a possibility that the AOD stays on until the message has been read
Been looking for a way to customize the notifications since there's no LED light on this phone. I installed and bought you a coffee, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi is this app only usable to Google Pixel phones???
Man this sounds like an awesome app however I'm on an LG V30 (which also doesn't have an LED but this doesn't seem to work. The notification interaction feature alone would be worth the donation.
I'll mess around some more and see if I can get anything
Original Thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/app-amoled-notification-light-t3943715
So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
To use it:
Install App.
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: 1. On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
2. Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this in next build
Thats it.
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen.
Also on pressing power button once the LED stops and on pressing it again it will bring you to lock screen.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k
If the app is not working check whether the Notification Service is running under Developer Option > Running Services, this service is required for the app to work as intended.
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.

Hi. I'm going to try it my question is if this would not burn the screen?
Can you explain how the stop timer works?

Nope it won't burn the screen as LED is shifting towards right every time.
Stop timer is the time after which the "LED" will stop after receiving notification.
please mention digits(seconds/minutes) in slider of led time interval & stop timer. working fine with S10.thanks
I couldn't make it work...
Great !!
Very simple & the first one that perfectly works with the screen off.
Next step a circle around the camera ?
Thanks for the work
It does use a bit of battery....
Great app. But the approximately Sensor doesn't responding. Does anybody confirm this?
If „don’t disturb“ is enable no notification light appears.
Is there any way of getting premium features without play services? I would love to use the unlock with fingerprint option
