Hi, I'm looking for a decent app that allows my whats apps, texts, missed calls, Facebook and messenger as well as emails to appear on the lock screen and light up. I've tried a few and can't find any that work too well, I am also looking for an app to allow me to change the LED light colour for notifications. I tried a few again and didn't work too well, one particularly still kept the LED flashing even after the notification was accessed in the app, it only disappeared when the notification bar was pulled down.
Thanks.
Try NiLS Lockscreen widget, works perfect for me for Lockscreen notifications.
BTW: In lollipop update coming native notifications on Lockscreen is a built in function.
As for me NiLS and gravity screen give a perfect combination, notifications and display turning on when taking mobile out of my pocket
Thanks, found some apps that do the job okay but not great, also having issues with getting the LED notification light to blink when in do not disturb mode. Apps I'm currently using is Light flow lite for control over LED notifications, Floatify and Screen notifications.
I feel like the Lollipop update for the Ascend mate 7 will be a while!

Hello everyone,
has anyone had success using applications to customize the LED notification light with the stock ROM ?
The stock settings screen (Settings->LED settings) only allows to set notifications for SMS, missed calls and new emails with the email client (not gmail).
It works fine, at least for missed calls and SMS (the light turns on as expected).
I have tried a bunch of applications (Gmail notifier, blink, Lightflow, LED Tester) and could not get the notification LED to turn on with any of these apps.
Am I missing something ? Is the SK4G different than every other phone ?

It is different because there are actually 2 LEDs instead of one so that is probably what causes those apps to not work. I don't know how hard it would be to implement more LED options into a custom ROM but I have let AYOTEDDY know that would be a nice feature so hopefully we will see something in the future
This is my first motorola phone in a longg time, so apologies if this is some well known thing.
Is there a way to change the settings for the LED?
I like that FB is blue and my texts are Green, but then my emails seem to also be Green... Would rather Gmail be red or something.
Thanks!

Where are the controls to turn on these light notifications (for received text, for example)? I didn't know the default settings used the notification light at all. If I had, I might not have gone looking for an app
To answer your question, there is an app called 'Light Flow' that allows you to customize the notification LED for different events. You can change things like colors and flashing speed for different app notifications (text, gmail, calendar notification, missed calls, low battery, etc) and also add other apps so that their notifications can trigger the LED.
There is a 'Lite' version of the app that is fully functional so you can try it out. I just started using it but I really like it so far.
No idea, mine were on by default haha.
But thanks! I'll go check out the app.
I don't think there is a way to control the LED without a 3rd party app.

Lightflow is awesome!
I now have my led turn orange when charging and green when charged! How did Moto forget something so basic?
Hi:
Thanks to Vector for pointing out Light Flow. Between the mysterious, single, unread text message imported from my old phone and all of the emails sent out by groupon et all in the middle of the night, the green light was flashing all night.Thankfully, Light Flow has a sleep mode that turns the light off at night.
I was ready to return the phone as it was keeping me up. Really appreciated!

Hello
Is there a notification LED on this phone ?
My LED work only for charging. Is it possible to use it for notifications for SMS or applications ?

Yes, settings -> display and there should be notification led or notification light. For me it is the last entry but I have german language.
But it uses only 3 colors.
I tryed to change the color for text messages but if i chose another color the notofication led would not show any reaction.
Ok thanks.
But it works only when the phone is not connected to the charger.
Hi,
As far as I know, LED colors are : green, red, yellow some people manage to get white, I didn't.
You can use Lightmanager to deal with the LED. It's working.
You can also use the builtin led notification in some apps like Handcent, WhatsApp ...
Whith the EMUI notification, I only manage to get green.
Indeed when the phone is charging, the charging notification is shown and no other notifications can be displayed.
My notification led doesn't work when I get notifications from facebook or facebook messenger, although notification led is turned on in settings and is also turned on in facebook app.
I'm not sure but I thought it worked in the beginning. I've tried light manager to change the color for various notifications and now i don't get the led to flash when I get facebook / facebook messenger notifications (I'm not sure if it worked before I tried light manager).
I've also tried a factory reset of my honor 6, but still the led doesn't blink. With whatsapp and other notifications, the led works.
Can somebody confirm this problem or can somebody confirm that the led works normal with facebook at his honor 6?
Any solution suggestions for this problem?
I've got an H60-L04, original with EMUI 3.0, not rooted
Hello All,
I've recently made the mover from Kitkat to Lollipop, and working out some of the kinks...
I am running the latest "official" COS12 build (YNG1TAS2I3 - LRX22G), and I use Google Messenger as my default SMS/MMS app. and LightFlow Lite to manage LED notifications. SMS notifications work fine (wakes the lock screen, notification LED OK), but MMS notifications do not wake the lock screen or enable the LED. I get the notification via noise/vibrate, but the screen does not automatically "wake" up and the notification LED does not work when I get the MMS. If I manually wake the screen, I see the notification is part of the lock screen, and is in the status bar. I also noticed within LightFlow that there are no "active" notifications regarding the MMS ones.
I am pretty sure I have the correct Android 5 notification settings (set to "ALL" rather than Priority or None), but can't pin this one down. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello guys,
I flashed successfully from B131 to B360.
All works fine as soon.
All notifications arrive immediately but not all were shown in banner mode (heads up) although I chose it in notification settings.
For example AquaMail is only show as banner if I choose in AquaMail settings high priority notificationas.
Tapatalk or other apps are only as icons in statusbar. Whatsapp or sms are shown as Banner.
I'm very confused. In emui 4.1 all notifications are heads up.
Is this a bug
Thx for helping
I am having the same issue with EMUI 5 with Android 7. Searches on google and xda don't give many answers. Have you tried exempting all apps from battery optimization yet? That's the only other answer I've found so far, but some claim it still doesn't work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/notifications-t3454081
The more I learn about this phone, the more I realize that EMUI simply gets in the way of how Android is supposed to operate. Banner and LED notifications are either overridden or ignored by EMUI for third party apps. The only way around it is to use apps that have built in notification settings that can override EMUI.
For example, I use Textra as my primary messaging app and its banner and LED notifications only work when I select those options within the app. EMUI doesn't seem to recognize those functions for Textra and a bunch of other apps as well.
That would explain why I only see notifications for default apps.. will see with the settings in the other apps..

And this applies to the LED notification as well. I turned on the phone screen yesterday to find 3 different apps had notifications in the status bar, but the LED never flashed to tell me they were there.
Hii @PuffDaddy_d
Yes I have the same issue
And the only thing works is the sound notification
But then missing the LED one
LED manager will take over and control the LED notification - just a shame you can't turn off the battery charging LED.

Yes, that app works very well, but it is a huge battery drain for me. It wasn't worth keeping installed.
