I came from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330551 where a user has reported that my app works on this phone, so maybe you'll find it useful.
----- Forget this thread, I don't understand why a user has suggested me to post here... this mobile phone already has notification led -----
I've developed a little application that should work in all MTK phones that have separate led for lighting the buttons.
The latest version will be available on my blog, but as I don't have 10 messages I can't post links... so see attachments (in the app you can find a link to my page where there will be the latest version).
How to use:
Simply install the application, open it and test that LED works (by clicking the ON, OFF buttons, it will ask for ROOT permissions), once you know it works, you need to activate the Accessibility Service to let the application catch the incoming notifications.
That's all.

It's for phones without led for notification, so this is useless here... I don't understand then why the user suggested me to post it here...
Forget this thread, I'll try to remove it from here.

Yes works!!!!!!!! great For devices with non led notification and as reported a blinking notification as in nokias(speed of blink n style) would be great and another thing/Request..it would be great if user has a choice of which capacitive led (Back or home or multitask or search) to blink or notify for what will also be good and i'm sure there will be ton's of downloads for this app later on you an move for Universal device compatibility!!!!!

I'll add the blink option probably this night, I have finished it just now and want to test it before releasing, and will try to make it customizable.
About selecting which button to light, forget about that, usually this phones (and most of phones) control all the buttons leds at the same time, so it's physically impossible to select which button to light, as they leds are connected to the same control line.
Universal compatibility seems also difficult, there are commercial apps like Lightflow to provide more "universal" and "professional" led interactions, but even this app has lots of comments about not working (for example, on my MTK phones it doesn't work). I'll be satisfied if I can get "universal" compatibility on all MTK phones.

Is the Sony smartwatch 2 worth it at $85?
Yes. Next question.
Yes.
compared to what?
u8?
pebble?
AW watches?
the u8 is cheap but crap
-screen unreadable outside
-crappy companion app
-screen is off in standby
-only 4 boring watchfaces
-hardly any firmware development
-must have phone or audio connection to phone, can't connect otherwise
the pebble is nice
-has a lot of support, both in firmware and 3rd party apps
-good companion app
-long lasting battery
-lots of watchfaces
i just don't like the design of the pebble, nor do i like the e-ink screen
the AW watches look nice, but AW hasn't evolved enough yet
and those watches are quite a bit more expensive
is the sw2 worth it?
i say yes:
-screen always on
-very readable in direct sunlight
-3rd party apps and watchfaces
-even though it's not high-res, it has a nice color screen
-good notification support, including filtered content from facebook and twitter
-battery life is pretty decent, about 3 days
-doesn't look as cheap as the pebble or u8
only wishes i have for the sw2 are native whatsapp support and a selectable screen timeout
hope this helps
I decided to buy it! cheers for the replies! any recommendations of the best apps?

Watchit on the phone for notifications, Watchface Widgets for watchfaces, Ghostracer for running/cycling.

This doesn't allow you to clear phone notifications from your watch though, is that right?
Also, I don't think it has a watchface widget?

No idea, neither are things I would look for in the app that forwards notifications.

So that means you have to clear notifications once on the watch and then again on the phone....
Not that I have a better way to propose. Watchify should be, but unfortunately doesn't work reliably and the developer is AWOL.

I never bother to clear notifications on the watch. They are there as a heads-up, but want them to stay on the phone anyway for when I actually deal with them.

With watchify (when it works) I see the phone notification icons on my watchface, so I can be sure not to miss a text message for very long fir example, even if I happen to miss the watch vibrating.

How do you miss it, it's on your wrist! Anyway, lots of watch faces allow you to add notifications if that's your thing, glad you have one that suits you.

I don't have one that suits me, that's the problem, watchify is too unreliable.....
I'd be very happy if you can point me to alternatives but as far as I know they don't exist!
watchify doesn't have a content filter does it?
i only want Tweets from certain people on my watch
i have the Sony smart extension for Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Sms and Call handling
for Hangouts this one
for Whatsapp an app that's no longer in the play store, still hoping for a native version by Sony
JJW has pretty nice collection of watchfaces as well
Use "Notify Smartwatch" instead. It has widget, font size control, clears phone notification when cleared on watch and content filtering!

I tried that before.
I think a smartwatch should show notification icons on the watchface, same as you see in the notification bar on your phone, whatever you're doing on the phone. So just the icons. Then I can see if there's anything I need to action or clear.
Notify Smartwatch just shows the latest notification in the widget, same as with Sony's widget. It doesn't show all the notification icons.

So I've been using venom ROMs for years but now they've been discontinued and the Oreo ROM no longer has a feature I find essential, that is heads up notifications for calls, now my question is, is there any other ROM for the U11 which has this or is there a way (without breaking safety net) to add it? Maybe an app or framework?
Any help would be appreciated as without this feature driving with navigation is infuriating.
Many thanks.
Have you tried something like "android auto" and the likes which set your display to be more convenient while driving?.
That doesn't answer my question
You said "maybe an app"... Android auto is an app. Maybe you should be more grateful for the input you receive or maybe reword your posts to reflect exactly what you're looking for.

Hi,
There's an app on Google play store to do what you want. The app calls ''Heads-up Notifications''.

Hi, while that app does add a heads up notification, it doesn't stop the dialer displaying over the whole screen which makes it pointless, I need the dialer not to show only the heads up notification like Venom used to do.
Cheers

you can try this for flashing dot...( don't expect it will serve the purpose of an actual LED notification not sure why google got rid of it... meh )
free version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker
paid version - if you think the free version gives you the comfort then... mostly you can add more apps to be included in notification

I don't get this as well! Thx for the hint. Will have a look.
It works alright, but coming out of the notification screen can be a bit glitchy. Also, after a few seconds the screen dims and the notification light can be a little hard to see.
Also I find the payed version quite expensive - but overall it seems to be what I was looking for.

Apps like these keep your phone awake and drain the battery. Just use the Pixel Pulse app in the mods and themes sub forum.

If you use AOD it is awake. This app is using that. If you turned AOD then yes, battery. I am most disappointed by glitches when I try to open the phone.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. The AOD function is not the same as what most 3rd party apps use to keep the phone awake.
Pixel pulse, is the way to go, and the customized colors makes it even better at 2 AM work email notifications, so i know wtf i need to fix in the morning hahahaha
Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Features:
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!
Download link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.zunder.edgelightingfixforallappsv2
Patch notes:
Users using a version priori to 1.2 need to install a new version of the app from the market (link updated in the first post)!
v1.24
Fixed an issue that caused the app to crash for some users.
v1.23
Added a custom icon feature for each app (Premium feature)
v1.22
Added a switch to enable/disable display of system apps in the list
v1.21
Fixed a switch display bug when using the search feature.
v1.2
Just to explain: I had to create a new app on Play store because, for whatever reason, the Play Console won't let me update the old one.
- New super sexy interface
- Filter search
- In-app support purchase to remove ads
v1.07
Added support for Do not Disturb mode. You can still bypass it in the notification parameters on my app, but there is no way so far I can make it work on a per application basis.
v1.06
Taping an app icon now now copies its name to the clipboard for faster filters setup.
v1.05
Added a detailed help screen
v1.04
Finally added an icon for the app
v1.03
Fixed the issue about the switches resetting when you scroll

When you choose your edge notification style, you should be able to pick a color. Set it as custom and add filters from notification titles (which are the source apps names the way they are displayed in my app)

Thanks guys for reporting this issue, I'll add some kind of help in the next release and the PlayStore app description tomorrow (3am there, I'm just barely stayin awake cause I wanna see what you guys have to say about my app).
Hello, thanks for the application, now I want to try ... will the notification light remain on until I open it? Can you add an on and off time? similar to a led notification? Thank you
Works good so far, however, there is no app icon on the notification (generic android icon on gmail), also there is a ": nul" append at the end of text.

For now, no I just implemented a basic Samsung Edge Lighting notification, so you got what they designed.
I will see how I can make the notfication repeat at a fixed interval set by the user. I'm just afraid it will be extremely battery hungry.

With my app, notifications shouldn't wake your screen up but give you an edge light.
When you get in the menu for custom color, you have to allow my app ("Edge Lighting for all Apps") to send Edge Lighting notifications.
Edit: do you understand that Edge Lighting will prevent notifications from turning the screen on but instead display some kind of edge light while keeping your screen off?

OK thanks. It would be interesting to add that option. Does the goodlock edge light work? So is the LED only activated around the camera?
