Hoping for some assistance in solving an annoying problem. After updating my rooted XT926 to 4.1.2 last week, I have noticed strange behavior from the LED notification light. I have noticed this on 3rd party apps (such as Tweetcaster, Go SMS Pro, Enhanced Email) as well as stock apps (such as Gmail and the native SMS app). When I get a new text message, email, whatever, I will hear the notification sound but the LED does not activate. I have left it alone for as long as 30 minutes after hearing the notification sound, but no LED light. All the notification settings in each individual app are set as they should be. When I turn the screen on, the light will then blink once. While the screen is on the light will not blink (which I understand is normal), but as soon as I turn the screen off (as long as I didn't clear the notification) the LED will start blinking as it should.
The LED worked fine before the 4.1.2 update. I rooted using mattlgroff's utility, and used voodoo rootkeeper to protect root during the OTA. I have tried using Light Manager and Lite Flow; neither solved the issue. Using the test features in both these apps, I was able to get the LED to display each supported color, but it wouldn't work in "real life". I have factory reset the device twice, and I reinstalled all apps manually. I also tried the Motorola Notification Light Widget from the Play Store, with no luck. If unrooting would help in solving this issue, I would not be opposed to that as I was considering unrooting before taking the most recent update. But, I do not know of a way to unroot besides mattlgroff's utility, which apparently is not currently possible after the 4.1.2 update.
I would be very grateful if someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: After doing a full SBF and reformatting the SD card, I am still having this issue. Am I the only "lucky" one?

I have a rmhd with lightflow installed. I use light flow for the audible and vibration only, having all led reminders off. Lightflow when working works great, but it does not work consistently. At times it does not alert at all to texts which is what I need it for. My questions are does anyone else have issues with Lightflow and is there any other app that has vibrate and audible reminders.
I have used light flow with my razr when it was on the stock rogers ROM and again with the Telstra jellybean ROM and it works great. I am only using it for the notification light and not with the audible reminders though
I gave up on lightflow. sometimes made my phone laggy. I deinstall it, and it makes the phone reboot spontaneously. I now just use Gmail label notifier for changing my notifications for each of my email accounts.
Sad too, as I purchased the paid version of the app.
I installed it tonight since it seems to be the only app(?) that can make use of the multi coloured notification LED and it FC'd on me within the first 5 minutes. I use to use it on my GS3 with no issues. I don't understand why Moto give us a multicolored LED with no way of using it?
Lightflow works great for me.
It was buggy on the stock rom, but Vitreous and Batakang both like it. Haven't had an issue since I stopped using the stock rom.

I had battery drain issues when I first got the phone so I uninstalled it. After the official Telstra JB update I have installed again and first impressions are that I'm not getting any crazy drain.
Am a big fan off this app and especially the fact I can set sleep hours for my LED.
I tried Light Flow. Then I uninstalled it. Since then, I no longer receive LED light notifications at all. This, despite having the setting turned on . If I reinstall and use light flow all is well again. However, I prefer not to use it anymore.
I see some other people having issues with LED notifications on the Nexus 5.
Any ideas?
That's weird. Installing LiteFlow and then uninstalling it seemed to be the only way I could get all my notification lights to work.

Try deleting data in your sms and email apps, it worked for me.

Please help. My notification light is continuously blinking blue and green. I have no new notifications. List is clear.
I have rebooted several times, gone to ART and then back to dalvik and turned led notification on and off several times. I'm stumped
Mine doesn't work at all so you're 1 up on me. Or maybe not? Mine blinks blue when waking it up. That's it. I figure it's just flaky.
Well I ended up flashing stock firmware and its back to normal.
So it blinks with notifications? Mine isn't rooted but I'm not running the stock mms or email so that's probably why. Always worked on other phones though.
Funny thing is that first G3 had led notifications but they were very slow, I used a 3rd party app to speed them up.
My replacement G3 seems to be working as I expect, ie. text message has the led blinking once every second or so.
I think I'll wait a little while but I think it's my third party stuff that hasn't been updated to work with the phone.
I'm using handcent with no trouble.
Every thing is working as it should. Must have been a weird glitch.
I'll try it. I've used it before and it's ok.
(EDIT) Yep, it works. I figured it was GOsms that needs to update their software. Thanks!

I had been a very satisfied user of Lightflow receiving tons of notfications a day, it was essential for me to look at my phone and based on the colored LED notifications I was able to tell if I have received anything important.
One day I had to factory reset the phone since it was just showing the blue LED with a black screen. Ever since that I am unable to make Lightflow or any other 3rd party LED solution to work. All I have is just the red LED charging light nothing else.
I have contacted the developer of Lightflow to help with the complicated settings but no luck.
It looks like something just blocks the 3rd party apps to access the LED.
I have looked into all the possible apps, that could use, hence block the LED such as Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, Nine, even the stock apps such as Email, Skype etc and everywhere I have switched off the LED management. Deleted Galaxy Button Manager. Still no luck.
I am on 6.0.1. I know that there could be something in the settings, I just could not figure out what. When I restetted the phone it imported the settings from an old backup I guess.
Settings / Display / LED is of course ON. Could be the Notification Reminder? I have tried OFF and ON as well. I have tried everything in the last two days, including LED Blinker Pro with all the recommended settings, read the relevant forum topics, but no luck. :crying:
Would any of you have the same problem? An idea?
Would you share your phone / Lightflow settings with me?
Thanks
Consider this solved.
Since I had the factory reset the s6 the phone restored an old version of accessibility settings from an earlier saved settings saved in my Samsung account I had to factory reset the settings manually from the menu. This finally cleared something blocking the LED and voila everything is back to normal.
I recently got my Xperia 5 II. While setting it up I imported my old apps and settings from my xperia XZ1 via the set up wizard (that automatically pops up). (Not sure if that has anything to do with it).
The problem is that the notification led doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it blinks, sometime it doesn't. I'm not even sure if it's caused by certain apps or not. Most of the time gmail notifications don't make it blink but sometimes it does. Whatsapp never blinks, although it should accodtring to the settings.
Obviously the notification settings have the led enabled both in system settings and each app. I even tried deleting and reinstalling some of the apps. For gmail the notification led worked once after a new install but afterwards never again.
My last hope was to add it to the exceptions of the battery management, so it doesn't get killed, but that didn't help either.
What's going on? Is this a common bug? Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
