'Wake Up' on Notification

Is there an app or setting to force the phone to "wake up" when a new notification comes in (gmail, sms, calendar, etc...). I find it easy to miss notifications when the phone is locked and it would be nice for the screen to turn on when a new notification is received on my Captivate.

ChompSMS has a setting that will repeat notifications. I have it set to repeat every 2 mins. That way, my Samsung Vibrant at least has an audio and vibrate notification until I get it. I don't remember if it lights up too...I'll have to check.
edit: it does in fact light up the display for each repeat. The repeat can be set as low as every minute.
ChompSMS is in the google marketplace.

Isn't that just for SMS though? I want something that can handle all notifications especially Google Voice and GMail.

[Q] Xoom Notifications

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.

My phone doesn't vibrate anymore?

So I have my phone on silent the majority of the time. Now recently for some reason my phone stopped vibrating for texts and any other notifications completely. I can't even get the timer in the inbuilt clock app to vibrate.
The motor or whatever vibrates the phone is working because my phone vibrates when I go to adjust the vibration settings. But it doesn't vibrate for notifications.

For text messages idk what rom your on but go to settings in messaging and find the vibration settings

What Rom are you using?

Ya may need to go into the messaging and email app settings and change the vibration settings there.
Next time you may want to post this in q&a section as well. I can hear the trolls coming out from under the bridge already. Just a heads up
Edit: I may want to realize which thread I'm in! Lol. Sorry, but the settings piece still applies.

I'm on CM9 and my notifications were not vibrating either. I went into system>sound>silent mode then chose vibrate. I also went into the settings of text messages under vibrate and chose "only on silent". See if any of that helps.

I dont have any vibration settings in the default text message app. Samsung's clock timer isn't vibrating on silent like it used to, I messed around with the sound settings as well and nothing changed.

I had this problem yesterday. I wasn't getting any notification for text messages. I would see them only when I turned the phone on and looked at the screen. Turns out I was playing around with the CM9 profiles settings, and had it in night time profile, which by default sets the vibration and volume to 0. You can either change the settings of that profile, or just set it back to default profile.
Having said that, it is kind of handy being able to disable notifications during certain hours...

[Q] Settings for Notification LED?

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!

No notifications?

I haven't been receiving any notifications over the last few days, whether its email/text or whatever, the phone doesn't vibrate/sound like normal, just a quick split second vibration but no notification led or sound. Nothing shows up in the status bar either, but if i go into the app i can see the new email or text.
What's going on? Haven't seen an issue like this before.
Never mind, i must of disabled led blinker pro notifications for some reason, works now.
