Also, how is everyone's Blink Light setting working? I have mine turned on (Apps & notifications -> Notifications -> App notifications -> On for all apps. And Blink light is toggled on) but it seems pretty inconsistent so far.
For the blink light you really need the Light Manager app to fine-tune it. I have blue for texts, green for WhatsApp and so on. You can configure until your heart's content
What is blink light?? Does the pixel 2 have a notification light?
Yes. It's at the top right of the phone.
You have to turn it on in settings. Blink/notification light is off by default.

Settings can be a bit daunting even if you know what major section it is in...
Specifically it is located in:
Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Notifications -> Blink Light ON/OFF

What.!!
I meant that when does the led light up by default??

Basically he wants to know what notifications the led lights up for, by default? As in before any customizing, etc. What does the led notification light up for on stock?
I am curious about this as well. I've watched and watched for the light and it didn't come on for anything until I installed light flow, lol. So I am curious

The light comes on so long as you have it enabled in settings.
It also lights up in the color reflective to the app, usually..
For Hangouts, it's white.
Facebook, blue. Facebook messenger, green. Snapchat, Yellow. Etc.

Ticking 'Notification light' under 'Settings -> Display' is the requisite for your LED to work at all. As soon as you disable this no app should be able to trigger the LED signal again.
I suppose that the notification itself is not handled by the system because it doesn't appear for every notification. It's more like every app can take advantage of it. I don't know every app which is capable of using the LED - just some of them; but they have already been mentioned in this thread. Some apps don't support the LED notification light, some do and even let you customize its color.
If you want an all-in-one solution to customize colours for different apps I can recommend "Light Flow". I bought the paid version and I'm totally satisfied. Just be sure that those two options are activated, else the app can't control the notification light.
-> Settings -> Security -> Notification access -> Light Flow activated
-> Settings -> Accessibility -> Light Flow -> On
I didn't like Facebook messenger to be green. I turned it blue. WhatsApp is green, SnapChat is yellow and so on... Works like a charm for me :3
Use LEDBlinker, I think it works better..

They both got lite versions so you can easily try and choose which one you like best. Would be great if there'd be an official solution from Google. A system app that is able to control the LED for every app But again: At this moment in time there are only apps in Play Store which can do this.
Afternoon all
Updated to 5.0.1 today and now notification light doesn't show for any app
Anyone else having this happening? I've used an app to test the light still works and it does
Some other user had this issue after upgrading to 5.0. Check that the notification light is enabled. Go to Settings->Sound¬ification and check that "Pulse notification light" is on.
Android 5 introduced a new feature called "quiet mode" (I think thats the name in English roms). When you turn off notification sounds, i.e. by tapping on "none" in the volume pop-up, the notification led gets disabled too.
Pulse notification light is set to on along with all set for notifications as apposed to none or priority but still no light
Turned light off, restarted phone, turned it back on and it has started to work again
I'm trying to figure out how to get the edge lighting to work. I've set it up to trigger on all app notifications and I have yet to see the lighting function.
Is there a trick to get this to work? Does lighting work when having AOD on?
The apps should also support edge lighting, otherwise you wont see it. As of now, only samsungs default apps only support.
You can use the app called "Edge Mask" from play store to customize edge lighting for all apps.
this is how I got it working with all apps defined & in state screen on or off:
First disable notification for all apps you want to show with new notif style
in settings > notification
install SystemUI Tuner from playstore,
then in miscellaneous > enable Heads-Up Notifications.
scroll down and enable Power Notification controls.
now go back to notification setting, tap the app then slide to level 4 or 5 (peek enable)
the notification for the app should be in new style now (edge lighting enabled)
Now the trick so it also works with screen off:
install from playstore: Lightflow legacy
Add Lightflow in edge lighting setting "manage apps notification"
setting in lightflow app:
the key is the setting in lightflow must enable "Switch screen on" in the app setting
After you add the app in lightflow, goto app setting and tab Notification, scroll and enable switch screen on.
then you will have edge lighting notif for other apps too.

Thanks man, now I have it working with screen on. Just can't figure out how to make it work with screen off heaven with your trick with light flow.
have u turn on edge lighting setting to "Always" ?
also add light flow and all apps defined in edge lighting manage apps.
Any chance you could point me to working root for the S8+ to install SystemUI Tuner? Model: SM-G955F
root is not necessary. just install System UI tuner from playstore,
then follow the step to enable permission from adb . are u familiar with adb ?
- enable developer mode on phone, then turn on usb debugging
- connect phone to computer, start adb
- type in the set permission command in adb, as instructed in the app.
- then follow my instruction above.
I guess that the edge lighting for apps when the screen is on but not when it's off i'm talking about whatsapp for instance it gives you an edge lighted notification when screen is on but not when it's off although you have it in the edge lighting permissions toggled on ,
all you need to do is to turn on the pop up notification in the whatsapp application either for always or only when the screen is off but for me I did it only for when screen is turned off
enjooy
I got whatsapp edge lighting work with display off. But there isn't the text of the message. Only the icon on the screen.
@Bautinho88 How did U manage to make it working for whatsapp with screen off? For me it only works when I select "popup" on whatsapp and that's not good for me
Still wouldn't work on apps with custom notification APIs like Facebook Messenger. Oreo removes the ability to have power notifications too, btw
And lightflow/glimpse notifications seems like a half-baked solution, since it hijacks the icon, and doesn't display any message info for me. Also it hijacks the color.
Oreo allows notification channels, which lets me enable it for most of my apps. like i said, the only ones that don't work use custom APIs for notifications.
I don't think we will ever see a fully working 'Edge Lighting Notifications" as long as it's running as an APK. It should be built into the UI/system in Samsung's skin so that it's not piggy-backing off of notifications with Android, and rather Pre-skinning it as the notifications come in.
Recently I got a U11 and installed LeeDroid rom with root. Personally I do not like LED, and I wonder if it is possible to disable LED completely. I am aware that I can disable LED notifications sent by apps, but I could not find a way to get rid of LED alerts for charging and low battery warning. Or is there a rom that has this functionality?
Well, no way to disable LED? It's especially annoying at night...
a very black tape could help you out

Yes, https://www.google.nl/search?q=htc+.....69i57j0l2.6107j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
You can change when to flash and which apps will flash the LED when there are new notifications.
From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Sound & notification.
Under Notification, tap Flash notifications. Choose whether to always flash the LED or flash it only when the screen is off.
Tap App light notifications.

I know that setting. It is already set to "Off", so no app is flashing LED. My question was how to disable LED completely, even when charging.
So on the htc 10 which is what I am coming from I am able to choose silent notification or different notification level for each app, that seems to have changed. I cant find any way to get rid of vibration or sound just for specific apps within the notification setting panel. In the Twitter app theres nothing specific and if there is I have it off and in the app settings within the phone it just gives me the type of notifications such as direct messages, news etc. No where does it let me turn off sounds or vibrations for the app.
Within the Twitter app in the settings the only option is under Display and Sound, second from the bottom you can turn off in app sounds.
If you go to the app settings (where you would force close or clear data) and tap Notifications it lists multiple categories such as Direct Messages, Related to you and your tweets, etc. Here you can disbale ALL notifications (but moving the slider at the top to OFF) and the checkbox next to each of these turns them on or off completely.
If you tap on the item like Direct Messages (or any other item) you can again toggle them off for that function (same as unchecking on the previous screen) and set the behavior. I have most set to Show Silently, which will not vibrate or make sound. If Make Sound is on, vibrate is available under the Advanced roll up. Review settings for each type and turn vibrate off or change all to Show Silently if that's what you're after.
Hope this helps.
