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?
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.
Hi guys,
These apps i am about to introduce will change your phone experience for the better not just our phone for that matter but any Android phone.
1. Immersive Mode Manager (Paid)
This app is a must for every Amoled screen to protect your phone from future screen burn, the other thing is you get to enjoy the full screen experience with every app on your phone. I install this app on all of my Android devices.
I have created a thread long ago doing it manually but i think it's too much of work for people who want an app for that, if you want a manual free alternative check it out.
2. Glimpse Notifications ( Free)
So on the ROG 2 phone only a couple of apps does wake the device when you receive a notification mostly chatting apps and I guess not all of them. This is where Glimpse Notifications solves the problem that is if you just want the screen to simply light up.
3. Blokada (Free)
You must have an Ad blocker on the list if you are unrooted and definitely one of the best open source and free app out there is this one.
4. Fluid Navigation Gestures (Free/Pro Features)
I will dare to say IMPO that it's the best custom gesture navigation app on Android currently. Also it's way better than the default gesture navigation because of the extra features.
5. Tiles (Paid)
Although it's a paid app it's worth its price. The beauty of having it you get options of having tiles of any application you need including the power button which I use mainly for that purpose, instead of clicking and wearing the power button.
6. Edge Gestures (Paid)
This is by one of my favorite developers in the play store, he has some other apps in the play store you should check them out. Now why I recommend this app because with this app you can add extra features to the default system gesture navigation which completes it.
I stopped using FNG because in certain apps it doesn't play well and sometimes it stops. So using this app you can add whatever shortcuts, apps using one swipe from whichever side of the screen you like especially the top part of the side where back swipe doesn't work anyway which makes the default gesture navigation complete.
7. Zone Launcher (Free/Paid)
Launch any app from any screen with one swipe, this is a new favorite.
-------
Edit:
I have removed "Light Flow" from the list due to it not working properly with our device. When you try to customize the led notifications for third party apps and then testing the modifications within the app itself everything seems be okey. But it turns out non of the modifications apply or stick. Anyway for now there isn't any third party app that can customize the led notifications for our device!
I will keep updating this thread once other apps are discovered or suggested.
-------
Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely these apps seem useful and apart from Fluid Nav Gestures and Light Flow, rest are new to me.
Also a small correction, link to Fluid Nav Gestures is wrong(tiles link attached to Fluid Nav Gestures text).

6. Light Flow Legacy (Free)
This app is a must have if you want to customize the led notification light for each app, currently i believe only 3 colors are available for our device (Red, Yellow, Green) so you can set any colors of those to any app you want.

Hi, thanks for these. I really like FNG. However, I'm having an issue with Immersive Mode. All the input boxes that are normally above the keyboard (e.g. try to change the name of your phone) are hidden because they are now under the keyboard.
Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure that the system navigation is set to virtual key navigation instead of gesture. Now if you have the pro version of FNG you can disable the navigation bar from the app settings. So either buy the pro version of FNG and disable the navigation bar from there or use another app to disable the navigation bar which you can find some apps do that in the play store.
I couldn't get light flow to work. What settings have u tested it with to get it working?

Make sure it's not killed by mobile manager. Also disable battery optimization for it. Personally I mainly use a different color for two apps sms and calls. I use red color for calls and yellow for sms.

Did both of those but still nothing. When I go to test and turn screen off, nothing happens.

On my side when I do a test it works fine. But I can't confirm if it's working all the time because I can't recall the last time I noticed the notification light of my custom notifications.
Try to reinstall the app and play with settings.

I tried everything. I also have the pro version of led blinker, and that doesn't work either.
But who knows. Maybe a few restarts will help

I tried Light Flow Legacy, and it seems to work, except for cyan, blue and light blue color. If i put light blue, the led is Yellow. If i put cyan, the led is green. What's wrong?...

I only see the notification light when the phone is off and is charging
I use the APP dimly. It helps lower the minimum brightness on the phone so you won't get blinded using it in a dark room.
I just updated my phone to 1908.21 WW and now ther LED notification is back and working again!

I have tried both Fluid Navigation Gestures and Edge Gestures, both pro/paid version, and the system will sooner or later make them stop working, and have to enable them again, having to give them permission to draw over other apps from time to time and it is a bit annoying. did you or someone manage to make it work perfectly? any tips on what might I be doing wrong? thanks
I don't think Tiles app works as it says it's only for Naugut and Oreo. I have paid for it and now it's not working. I don't know why did you say that it works with our phone. You should not give wrong info to others without checking.

If you don't know how to use it that's is your problem, I have it right now on my device working. Add to that I haven't recommended any app on this thread without testing. Choose your words carefully!
One more thing, if you don't have anything positive to say just move on and let me be, you don't have to visit this thread or take my word for that matter!
Installed Miui 12 eu rom, now notifications are sorted by time instead of priority...
I have many persistent notifications and I intentionally set priority to minimal / 'trivial' so they stay at the bottom
I now have to search the notifications in the list and it's annoying.
Anyway to get it to the way it was?

Maybe try disabling this?
Not sure it made any difference.
Some of the apps did however stop "refreshing" their notifications and jumping to the top after a couple of times I opened them.
Some asked for permissions again...
There is just 1-2 apps that still do this.
ended up using Mi control center app
solves the notification sort problem + notifications aren't huge which I like and overall a very neat app.

nice app, but would be great if if worked correctly with custom quick settings tiles, like from Tasker, AutoNotification or Blokada.

Thanks for sharing. I have my first MIUI phone (coming from stock Android) and notifications in MIUI were driving me nuts. This app seems to return the stock Android behavior, hopefully there are no issues with it.
I still wish MIUI would honor the notification priority, what sense does it make to have silent notifications otherwise..
I am sorry for asking if it sounds silly, but how do we adjust priorities of notifications from different apps? Like I want some apps like text messages and missed calls etc to show on top of others in the list.
One more question, in Oxygen OS there was a feature of silent notifications, they were separated from the rest of the notifications by a neat divider labeled other notifications, they were collapsed by default and did not make a sound or splash. Can this be achieved in MIUI 12?

The problem is due to all the PER-app notification permissions. (I was missing notifications all the time. )
The next time you miss a notification: (Instructions are for MIUI12 but should be similar for MIUI1. I think the upgrade may have also reset some of the notification settings):
Swipe down on the status bar from the top left.
Long-press on the notification that you missed.
Click MORE SETTINGS. (The app in question will display.)
Ensure "Show Notifications" is enabled.
Allow Sound, Vibration, LED.
Below Notification Categories, press on one of the notification sub-categories:
Ensure "Show Notifications" is enabled for the sub-category. Change "Importance" to Default or High. (If it is "LOW", the other options are disabled.)
Change the notificaiton SOUND, Vibration, LED as desired.
If the missing notification isn't appearing in the status bar or if you want to fix the problem with other apps, you will have go to SETTINGS | NOTIFICATIONS and find the app yourself.
tried all the above...still does not work
Today: Poco X3 PRO + MIUI 12.5.1 and still the same problem. How could it be broken for so long? Maybe no one cares
