New to nexus 5... searched and found light flow and light manager. Neither work for charging. Perhaps I set it up wrong?
Also, sorry if this has been asked... search function on the app sucks
Light flow has option...just need to enable it. Also check the settings , there are some settings for while charging.

Hmm... I wonder if something in gravity box is conflicting... I have those sittings set, still nothing
Light Manager works on my Nexus 5 with the following setup:
1. Turn off daydream
2. Light Manager Advanced settings > Static LED > Option 2

Light manager is working using your settings, thanks.
Quick question. If I disable the unlock cancels notification setting, what does cancel it? Clearing the notification and unplugging charger?

I noticed led only comes on when screen is off.
If u enable that setting, led notification will stop once u unlock the screen.
If u disable the setting, led notification will go on until u read the message, checked the missed call, etc.
Cyanogen Mod 11 Milestone 4 might be the way to go

If you are willing to unlock your phone and load a ROM, CM11 M4 has that feature built in. This is a really stable build and has Google Dialer working.
Here is a review of some of the features
If you are feeling really adventureous you can try the nightly builds http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584004

They work if that's what you're asking. Light Flow and Light Manager are the two I tested. Definitely prefer LF of the two.
Light manager seems to work for sms but not email. Always on also does not show email notifications. Arg!

No. The email does not show at all for me. Only sms and missed calls.

LightFlow is not working for me. Did you enable the LED in the display settings and did you enable or disable the workaround for Samsung?
I have been emailing the dev for light manager. in order to get it to work, you need to turn on the 5.1 workaround in the apps settings and you have to let it wake the screen for notifications. then the led colors work correctly. one thing that does break is you can not longer expand the gmail notifications in the notification pull down shade. he said he doesn't have an S7 yet to test on but is getting one.
LED Blinker Work correctly
I didn't install light manager yet. I'm just using signal for SMS and changing color of LED in its settings. inbox is blue and I guess missed calls would be the same blue default. Works for now. Also charging is red by default and green I think when charged...
LED Blinker Work

Yes LED Blinker works. I have tested under S7. And many customers told me, too.
Just enable workaround 5.1.1 in app settings (its needed for Android 6, too sadly).

Same here. (With Light Manager) So it seems to be a hardware/model related issue.

Needed screen on for me too (for Gmail at least, some apps worked okay - Handcent/Whatsapp). Which I didn't really want to use but it's better than nothing at this stage.
Ah, sorry, it's Light Manager I used - I was trying a few and got confused!
Ok then what now? Do we return it to samsung and ask for a good one or just live with it??

LED Blinker works, but has the same problem that all of the other LED notification programs have....The Gmail notification icon in the status bar will not auto clear after reading email. It must be cleared manually. Light Manager does the same thing, and according to the developer, it is an issue with Android 6.0

you have to disable the light/led in all apps you use, gmail doesnt have such option, use google inbox instead.

Thanks, but I use Google Apps, with multiple email accounts, so Google Inbox really doesn't work well for my use.
I wanted to see if anyone is using Light Flow for your Led and sound notifications.
It works fine. Light notifications are turned off by default. I'm using light flow legacy
Thank you !
Just downloaded it and tried it...not impressed. The colors are a bit off. They were great on my S6, but it looks like the LED on the Pixel has some sort of filter or something over it and it dulls the colors.
Pixel has LED support by default. You don't need to use crazy hacks like lightflow to make it work.

You do if you want to actually customize it at all.
When I installed light flow. My gmail notifications sounds, lights and vibrate settings functioned as intended. I had many issues with getting full functionality with any of sms notifications. I contacted the developer about my sms notification issues and his replay with a work around works.
This can be used with any app, BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW EACH STEP FOR EACH CONTACT or Notification.
From the developer: 10.25.16
I'd recommend the following.
1. remove the contact specific notification you have set up and the standard text message notification.
2. get a text message from the contact you want specific notifications for and don't yet read it.
3. go into lightflow, notification settings and press "+" and select from all installed apps and select messenger.
4. Press "+" again and select from an outstanding notification and select the unread text message and select it and click add.
5. Find this notification and click on it (then press the pencil icon in the title to give it a meaningful name)
6. Enable the "notification person matches..." switch
7. Finally in notification settings click on the 3 lines with an arrow button at the top and drag the contact specific notification above the default messenger notification.
Messenger and be replaced with any app that you want notification from.

How would you make your notification LED flash white for SMS notifications and blue for Gmail notifications on the stock ROM?

Each application has control over the way it makes its own notification blink.

I didn't say they HAVE TO USE IT.
I said they have CONTROL of it.
So ditch the crappy gmail program and use k9mail instead.

Replacing apps with ones that support the control of custom LED notifications isn't a viable solution for most people. How would you replace the Phone app if you want custom notifications for missed calls and voicemails?
You don't seem to have any interest in helping the OP, so I am done here.

It certainly is viable, especially when doing so increases functionality.
And yes, you CAN replace the phone application. There are HUNDREDS of alternatives.
Do we have to use Legacy?
I am using the regular one, and it is not working for me.
Did you have to set any special config options? In the device settings page?
Edit: I realized hiding notifications for LightFlow in the settings app (to hide the persistent icon) disabled the LED, so switched to legacy.
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.
So I thought I was going nuts, but indeed, somehow. I am getting edge-lighting effect notifications on the Always On Display. It looks cool, but I have no idea how to set it, or what exactly is even triggering it! I think it is emails, but I use a third party mail app anyways.
Anyone else getting this?
it's just this setting
I have a similar setting, but mine looks way different than yours!
its on, but only some apps trigger it. Is that normal?
For example, Blue Mail does, but the OEM messaging app does not.
Thanks for your help

Only the apps that show on AOD will trigger the edge colours as far as I'm aware.

Edge lighting notifications on Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has not been advertised or reviewed adequately. I also noticed it coming randomly on AOD during certain notifications.
Now, I am using the android app "Always On Edge" (AOE), which lets me customize it beautifully so I never miss a notification. There is a nice tutorial in the AOE for Xiaomi phones and one should read it to make changes in the settings before the app works properly.

A link to the tutorial please?
I followed the xiaomi tips in the apps help section and it just won't work for me with everything set up correctly.
There is no web page link. I paid $2 for the app and not sure if it is needed for it to work properly.
I will type the changes I did to the settings after reading under AOE settings ( "settings" on AOE app; click on "not working" tab then scroll to Xiaomi ( I am assuming you did that);
First, modify in the phone settings;
1) type in the search bar "Permissions": Autostart: enable AOE.
2) type in the search bar "Installed Apps": AOE (always on edge): Battery saver-no restrictions.
3) Under Lock screen & password; click on notifications; choose "show animation".
4) Power-off and restart the phone.
Second, change AOE App settings;
1) Allow this app to run without restrictions under "app restriction"
2) Un-check "manually" under the tab "how to start"
3) Check "when a notification comes" screen always off/on.
I am using it without the ambient display in my phone, but it works either way.
