When I set my phone to Priority Notifications either Floating Notifications or Light Flow notifications get through even though neither are selected as priority apps. Has anyone else experienced this? Not only do they get through & wake me up but they also turn priority mode off.

The apps need to be updated by the developers to work with Priority notifications properly. If they're not, anything can happen.
Yes I noticed that Floatifications hasn't been updated. I thought that Light Flow had.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to enable notifications (specifically those of the led) on the xoom while the screen is on. I know by default they only show up when it is not in use, but i dont know how many times i have missed a gtalk message or an important email because i was watching a movie and forgot to occasionally tap on the clock. There has to be an easier way than constantly checking my notifications to make sure i didnt miss anything. And one last thing, while we are on the topic of notifications; is there a way to do a "clear all" for the notifications?
Thanks,
Ryan

No clear all notifications. Many complaints on that already.
I think the idea was that if the screen is on, you will already see the notifications appear in the lower right bar. But I would also like to see the LED light blink as well. But I kind of feel lucky with what it is because my Samsung Captivate does not even have a notification LED at all and from what I hear, neither does the new Asus Transformer tablet. I am not sure why LED notification lights are so low priority with these devices as I feel it is a must.
Well as I was going typically crazy to get back the actual Silent mode on LP builds and wasn't able to find anything I stumbled upon this settings, and this setting I think shadows the real Silent mode. I don't know if this how its supposed to be or just a bug, but this is working for me rather well now.
Steps are extremely simple too, follows as,
1- Just make sure all the three options under priority interruptions are untouched, Events, Calls, Messages all of them (because if you enable these the device will vibrate according to the selected notifications)
2- Put the device in Vibrate mode (Sound-Vibrate)
3- Then hit on the Priority Only option in notification toggles, the bloody Green Star will show, and it will say Vibrate(Priority) under Sound tab.
4- If you use Light Manager app control LED like me then put that app under Priority mode [Settings- Device- Sounds and notifications- Application notifications- Scroll down to select Light Manager app and set as Priority] [This step is must, not optional]
5- Now go to Light Manager's Advanced settings, scroll down and you will see an option labelled as Wake Screen (Wake up screen while generating LED notification), you MUST enable/tick this option, IF you want your phone's screen to turn on on every notification. If you don't tick this option the screen won't turn on for notifications, but the LED will keep blinking nevertheless, if you do Step 4 that is.
So Step 4 and Step 5 are MUST.
Done.
Now when you receive a text message your screen will turn on and there will be no vibration, no sound (obviously, still) and even if you miss the screen turning up then the LED will keep blinking. This is how actual Silent mode works, or used to work, all along.

Do comment if I am wrong in anywhere above, and if it works the same for you.

Yeah, you mean when I play a song right? Yes, it stays like that. When you control your volume when music is being played then only media volumes are affected, so notification volumes don't change, but that's how it is for pretty long time anyway.
Nice find, no "true" silent mode was a bit annoying. Not a fan of priority mode and waiting for 5.1 to get silent mode while using this half baked silent mode that comes with 0B6 was gonna be troublesome.
OB6 has Silent mode already under the sound button.
Also, why set to Priority only, if you can set to "No interruptions", which is same as unticking all and setting to "Priority only"?

Yeah but that isn't "true" silent mode, screen doesn't wake on notifications and no LED.
As for no interruptions, that would make everything silent, including alarms, so that is a deal breaker for many.
Those 2 are the reason why this workaround is best for users who want "true" silent mode.
LOL it seems like I have forgotten to mention the most important step, I mean the step which causes the screen to turn on for notifications, and it has nothing to do with the firmware either, its all in the Light Manager app.
I freshly flashed a ROM, so while resetting up stuffs I understood that I have missed to mention the most important step. Added to OP as 5th point, if you don't do this step then the screen will NOT turn on for incoming texts etc., but if you do this step the screen will turn on for anything, even WhatsApp messages and all, which wasn't the case even in KitKat or previous iterations. Thanks to the dev of Light Manager app for adding this great option.
Just got it the other day, installed all the latest updates. Everything is working fine but do not see any notifications at all on the lock screen, the notification LED doesn't blink either. I have 'Do Not Disturb' enabled, not sure if it is the problem. The notifications in the settings are enabled. What am I doing wrong?
Do not disturb mode prevent notifications regarding calls and messages to prompt up except from contacts that you white listed. It'll silence any kinds of notifications too, so if you don't see notifications on lock screen (and relative led light) it's normal.
Please try disabling do not disturb mode and check if the issue persists.

Is the behavior of DnD on Honor devices different from DnD on Nexus devices? Because I've used DnD on both Samsung and Nexus devices, stock & custom and it would show ALL the notifications but without any kind of sound or vibrations. Only display badges/icons on the lock screen and pulsing LED. If DnD is disabled then yes the message tones ring and the phone vibrates. How can I make the same happen here?
Solved it. Seems like it was an issue with the theme, changed to another one from the Themes app and now it works as expected, meaning only notifications on the lock screen without sound or vibrations.
I'd never thought about that as cause of the issue. Good
Hi,
I just got a pixel3a - on my old moto handsets, you could set what notifications would show on the ambient display - I liked to just have calls and text messages to quickly see if I had anything important coming though. Is this possible on Pixel? To clarify, the only notifications I want to see on ambient are calls and messages - thanks
I believe you will see whatever shows on your lock screen and the only option is either all notifications or none.

You can use Tasker to do this if you're willing to not have the ambient display on all the time. I've set mine up using Tasker so that the ambient display is off until I get a notification. Basically, what it does is turn on the ambient display when a notification is received and once you clear the notification it turns it back off. When you create the profile in Tasker you can choose the apps you want to be able to turn the display on so you don't have it turning on for notifications from apps you don't care about. I have mine set up so that only Messages, Facebook Messenger and Snapchat will turn on the always on display. If you're open to something like that, I can help you with setting up the profile and the tasks necessary.

Thanks for the response - Tasker sounds like the best bet, I've installed it along with Autotools. I've had a play around and get the idea, but would really appreciate any guidance, cheers !
Do you mind sharing your Tasker profile regarding this?
Thank you

Hi,
I have been occuring a problem for a half year now or so. After a major update to new version of one UI (4.5) my on screen notifications are not working anymore. I can see only small red dot and need to swipe to see the noticifations.
I did follow bunch of instructions how to enable it back... paired and unpaired phone, got a new phone, try enable/disable all... Yet still same result: all I can get is only red dot (screen indicator) and then I need to wake up the display and swipe to read notifications.
My setting in galaxy wear app for notifications:
show notificitations even when using phone
notificitaion indicator ON
read notifications aloud OFF
show details ON
turn on display ON
allow for new apps ON
Is there any way to enable again something like "wake up display upon receiving new notification and show it on screen"? Or any idea why is it not working anymore? Could it be watch face problem?
thanks.
I just found out recently that after switch to ring mode from vibration mode it started displaying messages again. Please check and confirm if its the same or i tinkered something else....
