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!

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!
Anybody tried LightFlow or any other apps to control the notification LED?

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.
Hi,
get my Honor V10 today and the first thing i recognized, that notofication LED is not working for Gmail. Same as my other Huawei/Honar devices before.
Is there any solution to make it working?
I think you can see in settings-apps-gmail and notification, or direct in gmail app
I have the same problem. Everything is checked for notifications including inside the gmail app. I do get led notification for phone and messages but not gmail. Does it work for anyone else?
Works for my gmail.. I do get led notification
