Try the NoLED app from the Market, and set it to light up on GTalk. I use it on my SGS4g, and it works great.

I am sure you could do this with Tasker. You would also have to get "Secure Settings" from the Play store. Also you need to be rooted. It will probably take some research, but when I did a Google search for (tasker "screen on"), I got a number of hits that looked like they had the info you would need.
Also, Tasker is great for automating many other tasks on your phone so it is worth the $6 and change it costs.

Want the screen to wake up on getting notifications
Hi guys.
I'm using a Motorola defy plus with Gingerbread. What i want is, my screen to light up when I get any notification like sms, email, whatsapp etc.
I tried the app LightFlow which does the job quite well, but its consuming a lot of RAM. Same is the problem with Popup Notifier. I dont even need popups, I can perfectly live with the status bar notifications. I just want to screen to light up, in the locked state.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply.
However, I'm not looking to pay for such a minor functionality. Also, using two apps will consume even more RAM than what the other two apps i tried did.
Please suggest something in the free domain.
Thanks.

Make sure that under your phone settings, accessibility, services that Tasker is ON.
Go into Tasker and make a new profile. Select Event, UI, Notification, select the "Owner Application" as the app that you want the screen to light up for when a notification from it is received.
Then, as the task, click new task, add an action, click Plugin, click Secure Settings, configuration "Edit", click Wake Device, select the things you want it to do and for how long, then click the save icon in the bottom left corner. It should then work then.
Tt should work now. Thank me if it does, let me now if it doesn't

It works good..how do I select multiple apps like facebook,messenger,email,wtc
[deleted]
I have recently moved from iPhone to the s8. I do not get chat heads at all with messenger, is it still supported? I’d really like to get this enabled. I have checked google and searched the issue and can only find how to turn it off. I have ensured on top notification is enabled. I have a galaxy tab also, it did work previously but is now experiencing the same thing. Is this a nougat issue? I have no setting in my Facebook messenger for chat heads either. Thanks in advance for any help.
Make sure you don't have Messenger Lite.
Check the screen overlay permissions.
Borrowed from android central.
- Launch Settings from your home screen.
- Scroll down and tap on Apps.
- Tap the overflow menu button in the top-right corner and tap Special access.
- Tap on Apps that can appear on top.
- Find Messenger and make sure it's turned on.
I physically do not have a toggle to turn it on in messenger

I have logged out, removed , restarted and re installed, cleared data and cleared cache. I can get the function of chat heads by using an app called flychat that's the only way I can get the function.
I checked a friends Verizon phone his selection reads "draw on top" my unlocked phone reads " apps that appear on top" I have for enabled but still nothing appears
The only way I got it to work was to log out and start like it was a new account, now chat heads works perfectly, need to figure out how to associate new messenger profile with old facebook account
Same issue
I have had my S8+ for a few weeks now and am experiencing the same issue. Wish I could find the link, but I found something saying it has to do with our facebook UID.
Issue resolved with the latest update to facebook messenger
Mine ignores the off setting
This reminds me a lot of older Huawei days I hate with my Mate 8...so I am little bit familiar.. that we have to whitelist.
But can some one tell me what I need to do for the apps that have push notifications ?
Is it 2 or 3 places I need to white list ???
From what I remember from my Huawei days was... I did only whitelist apps that used push notifcation or that was a multimedia app for video or audio, the others dont need to run in the background really..
so the concept are not wrong.. but.. I think vivo software should detect if the app want to use push notifications and ask the user if we want to allow that or not...it would make the set up more simple.
I could probably figure it out myself but this would save time..and also its good information for other new owners of the device. Besides this I am super happy with this Vivo Device, its clear to me that Vivo is the next Huawei, the only bad thing about vivo is their pricing, Vivos brand is not strong outside china so it will take time for them to build up same brand as huawei.

We need to Allow Apps to AutoStart & Run in the Background
Funtouch OS Kills most apps in the background in order to achieve better battery life and you would often find yourself missing notifications from your apps like whatsapp, telegram, instagram, twitter etc. You have to allow them to Autostart & Whitelist them/Allow to run in the background if you want to receive timely notifications. To do so follow the below:
* Settings > More Settings > Permission Management > Autostart (Select your preferred apps)
* Settings > Battery > High Background Power Consumption > Select apps
Allow the apps to continue running in the background so keep receiving notifications instantly.
I recommend most social media apps and messenger apps like Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter along with your Widgets and any other applications that are important for you to keep active.
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
that is OK...try using the SofaScore application but not with home wifi network...try with mobile network, I think the notifications in this case are not coming regularly
One more thing I figured out is to make sure background data is on. It is hard to find in the settings. I wasn't getting my email notifications for the stock email app even with all the settings correct.
i somehow found that the background data was off for some reason for that app. Turned it on now everything works great.

I have Nova Launcher. Press and hold the settings spp. You should see a pop up that says battery, data and wifi. Go to data. In there go to data usage. Find the app you are not getting notifications. Check to see if background data is enabled. I don't know how to find this setting by not using Nova Launcher.
Hope this helps.

What setting couldn't you find? The man settings icon in your app drawer. Press and hold. A pop up should appear. Should say Battery, Data and Wifi. Hit the data. On this page, go to Mobile Data Used. There should be a list of apps that have used data. Find the app you are looking for and make sure background data is on. Or even go through the list and turn off background data to apps you don't want. If the app you are looking for isn't there, try again after you have used the phone for a while. Give the app some time to show up.
This is the only way I know of getting to this setting.

What app are you having issuea with out of curiosity?
I keep having issues with the stock email app. Third party email apps work properly.
Ok, I have a problem with notifications.
It's annoying that you can't drag the notifications screen down from the top in the lockscreen, it only works after you unlock the phone.
Also, some notifications in the lock screen don't fully show, they are also not responsove to touch(as to expanding the notification in the lockscreen to show more info)
I can only see what they say after I unlock the phone, drag the top down and press the little arrow that now appears on the right side of google notifications as in the example pics below
The arrow is not there in lock screen, I can't "expand" notifications in lockscreen...
You understand what I mean???
Lockscreen notification 1 st pic and unlocked screen notification second after I press the little arrow
Same for example when I got multiple whatsapp messages, in other phones in the lock screen I touch the notification in the lockscreen and "drag" it down, it expands to show me the messages, in the Nex this is not possible
Any fix? Thanks
Try remove com.vivo.pem in adb shell.

This is very common issue between Chinese software iOS style like Funtouch,MIUI,EMIU.
They don’t support expandable notifications on lock screen neither option like reply or delete from various app like Viber,WhatsApp,outlook,messenger,Gmail.
You can’t resolve it even with third party app because Google remove with Oreo overlays management on lock screen from third party app.
Only when native being supported by OEM.
Unfortunately Chinese OEM interact badly to core Android OS by removing basic features like expandable notifications.
All other non Chinese skin support this feature(Samsung,LG,Sony etc)
The only Chinese OEM support it is OnePlus because of Oxygen skin being stock based.

Thanks for the reply. I made a side by side comparison vixeo with a samsung s 6 and sent it to Vivo on Facebook. Customer service has been amazing I must say
I have the Chinese version of the NEX. Settings\Status Bar and Notifications\Manage Notifications. On my list I have apps listed including my Android messaging app, which lets me select detailed message info on my lock screen.

But you can’t reply or delete a massage(WhatsApp Viber,Facebook messenger etc)or email(Gmail,outlook)through lock screen since does not let you expand on it.
And if you get long massage with many words characters you can’t read all of the massage but half only, unless unlocked the screen and pull down notifications center.
Vivo software does not support expand notifications on lock screen just like non Chinese android skin.
I had the same issue with Huawei and Xiaomi device when I had it.
Take a look at this screenshot.
I’ve got 3 emails from outlook but I can’t read the details each one also not having option of reply or delete each massage.
The same with Gmail I can’t expand so I can’t read the whole message and just like outlook I can’t delete or reply directly through lock screen.
In both situations I have to unlocked the phone and the pull down notifications center and only then let me do that.

The past few updates and now this "Lenovo Services" app is now constantly running. I've tried to force stop it; nope. I can't "mute" the notification.
Any of you even know what this app is? When did it get installed and for what purpose is it there?
Thanks.

I've been regularly updating (Xiaoxin Pad Pro / P11 Pro) but never encountered "Lenovo Services". I do have "Device Service" (package name com.lenovo.lsf.device) which wants to connect to AliCloud in Germany a couple of times per day. I don't allow it on my software firewall (currently NoRoot Firewall), so no notifications from there.

I just double-checked and it is indeed there. I will post a screenshot if that helps you. Furthermore, I'm unable to uninstall it or remove the notification that it is running.
I checked the app, and it has no permissions granted other than "draw over other apps" but nothing for storage or location or contacts.
I'm on a US device if that makes a difference. Someone here must have the same thing I would assume?
I do have the same service running on mine and unable to hide it from notifications.
Time to go play in the Registry...
At least there is a way to "hide it" see here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo...ervices-is-Running/m-p/5083807?page=2#5447336
swipe down to see the "LenovoServices is running" notification and tap on it, it goes to the app settings page
Here you have 2 options
tap on Force Stop, it stops the notification but also the service itself (which is probably not a big problem, I've received an update, today, with this service killed). No notification in the status bar, no notification in the pull-down
Or
tap Notifications, DownloadService
there you see two main options, Alerting and Silent, it's on Alerting
switch to Silent and tap Minimise, notification gone from status bar but it's still in the pull-down, service still running

Good info. Thanks. Although still no explanation as to what it's doing or, how it got on there in the first place.
Guy anyone knows how to turn off the built-in download manager notifications? Or have a 3rd party download manager override the built-in one? there is a section in the download manager notifications called "done" and "queued" and they can't be modified in anyway. I just want it to stop playing sounds every time I download something. Thanks in advance.
Is it handled by one of those 2 apps or the browser? I don't have anything to download ATM to test it out. I use Chrome, so things normal pop up under silent notifications if I remember correctly.
If you can't modify download manager to be silent, what you can do is set the custom notification sound to be "none" instead of default.

If you open the google app called "files" you can see the download manager I'm talking about. I believe it is not a part of the browser but I know it handle the downloads from Google store and other apps besides the browser. I could not modify it notifications in anyway. When you can try test it out and let me know if you are able to change anything.

When you download something, have you tried home clicking the notification to see where it's coming from?
Under Files, there's no notification channels for me, and u can't remember ever seeing a notification coming from the app before. I do see multiple channels that deal with downloads under Chrome's notifications though.
Nevermind
Long press on any notification that you want the notification to change somehow. Press the gear icon and customize the notification, including the ability to turn it off completely.

If you go to Google files "blue folder icon" then Apps> System Apps> and fine download manager> notifications you should see "Done" and "Queued" but activated but greyed out and you can't change them. And yes clicking the notification will take you to the same download manager I just mentioned but what I explain doesn't require you to download something to get to that section.
All download manager notifications can not be turned off including the three options below it.

What app are you downloading the files in? When I try an example download in Chrome, and I long press on the download notification I get this:
Spoiler
You should be able to click "Turn off notifications" here if that's what you want. If I click the Gear, I get lots of options for disabling, or you can click on the name of each notification (screenshot below) to customize beyond just turning them off and on (and apparently there are more than one pageful of possible notification types to customzie):

If you tell me the name of the app that you're doing the downloading in, I can try to replicate it and see if I think of anything else beyond the idea of changing what app you're downloading through.

So then yeah, it seems like the other channels of Download Manager are already silent, just change the sound to none for notification tones to silence the one that can't be changed.

I just checked out the app you mentioned since I wasn't sure what apps I have that would use the generic download manager. At least you can keep them from showing up on the lockscreen (if you have the lockscreen display notifications at all).
