Ambient Display Customisation - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Since there's no more LED in the Pixel 3, I want ambient display to turn on when notification come in (as they normally do), but stay on till I wake up device and dismiss the notification, then turn off when there's no notification.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable this via tasker or any other app.
Is anything like this possible?
Thank you!

LED blinker pro has been talked about. Give that app a try.

That would be a great alternative to the always on display. I would love to know if there was a trick to make that work. Otherwise, yes, there are a bunch of screen led notification apps on the play store, but I haven't found any that play nicely with the default lockscreen. Some notifications work well, others dont. Give it a try though.

Yes you can do this via tasker.. in fact the latest versions have it built in.. just look under settings for "custom setting". Click the little search icon under name and it will help you find it by toggling it.
I just set it to enable ambient when a notification comes in and then turn the screen on once (you can turn ambient on when the screen is off, but it wont actually work until the screen has turned on once), and disable it either when the notification is cleared, or when you unlock the screen. Seems to work well...

Do share!

I just want to:
- Thank you for the idea. I was a little bit concerned about the lack of notification led, and also didn't like LED Blinker Pro and similar...
- Note that actually you don't need root to let Tasker toggle Secure Settings... You just need to grant Tasker permissions to change Secure Settings via adb (tasker help guides you to do so). It was quite straighforward, and now my phone acts exactly as I wanted!
Thanks again.

I have root - but can you please explain how you got tasker to do this for you. I haven't used tasker since the Android 2.2 days so I'm basically a newb. Or, I think you can simply export your tasker profile so I can import it directly. Whichever is easiest for you.

Well... my profile fits my needs, but may not fit yours... Also I must do some fine tunning, as it stills doesn't act as I would love. Sometimes AOD is not deactivated, and I must find why. But 90% of the time it's working Ok.
Anyway, I PM you my config so you can test it.
Let me export and send it to you.

You can enable ambient display to show when you get a notification through System > Display > Ambient > New Notifications.

I've just created an app called Pixel Pulse. I could use some testers if anyone is willing to give it a try. You can select the apps you want to have the app pulse your Ambient Display. There's paid customization for icons and colors but the core functionality of the app is free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

This is not the issue, we're trying to replicate the functionality of the LED pulse so that we can see missed notifications. Ambient display only wakes for a few seconds and then never again.

This app is great for me thus far! No noticeable battery drain (in fact, this app is not even showing up on my battery stats) and works as advertised! Recent update to include double tap to open app and also include swipe to dismiss made it perfect! Gladly donated...

Many thanks. Got it. I noticed that under Profiles, for On, there's numerous apps listed. There are some of them that I do not have. How do I delete them? I clicked on the Gmail icon, I was able to add other apps.

I was talking exactly about that when I told you to customize to your needs. In my "ON" profile, I just want some apps notifications to trigger it. If you can't deselect some apps, you could try to open the .xml file with a text editor before importing, and delete them there.

Doesn't really work on my PIxel 3a XL (Android 10).
Pixel Pulse is installed and enabled, battery optimazion disabled, Pulse interval set to 8s, gmail and WhatsApp set to "Pulse" and "Show All", Display > Lockscreen > Always on disabled and Display > Lockscreen > New notifications enabled.
But does not pulse. New notification is shown for some seconds (like without Pixel Pulse), after hiding, maybe the pixel pulse notification will show up one or two times (but faster than 8 seconds!) and after that nothing more.
AmbiTuner also doesn't seem to work.

Tasker - Turn ON LED

Hey guys.
I'm trying to use Tasker to turn on LEDs at my will. I have successfully used LED Notifications, but I do want to just turn it on.
In "Alert" there is an option called "Set Light" in which you can set a value between 0 to 255 to different parameters. None of 'red', 'blue' or 'green' seem to work. It does work in my XPeria P (LTi22), so I know that's the option.
Am I missing something? Has anyone managed to do this?
Thanks!!
P.S: For anyone wondering, a possible scenario is: I have a LED Notification set for when my phone is fully charged. Works well unless I already have my led blinking. In that case I miss it unless I manually unlock my phone to see if there's the "Charged" notification in my status bar. On my XPeria on the other hand, if there's any notification, Tasker will turn it off and then set the LED to a 255 blue.
No one? Come on guys, please!
As far as I know, this is a limitation of stock KitKat and the Nexus 5, which do not allow the LED to be in a constant 'on' state, only pulse. Also, it is based on notification priority, the first notification received is what the LED will show. And the Nexus 5 will not allow the LED to be on while the screen is on.
I have not been able to figure it out using Tasker, but I assume it would be possible with an Xposed module, if someone were inclined to write one for this purpose.

As far as I'm aware if the screen is already on the notification light will not work.
I couldn't get it to work at all, but in the end it is.
Not certain this works - but under your phones settings go to Accessibility and at the top you should see SERVICES section. Listed under there should be Tasker, set it to ON
Hopefully this works for you.
Turn ON LED Notifications Using Tasker

That is what already happens by default, why would you need Tasker to accomplish this?
Try lightflow app - it will cycle thru' the notifications, with different colors for different notifications (depending on how you set it up)
Ya. That's ok. But I wanted to set the notification light with tasker. I myself found the method for that. Thanks anyway!

Samsung s8 + -- system ui tuner

I am trying to access the UI tuner on the Samsung S8 plus. I have downloaded the SystemUI tuner by Zacharia. I have untoggled the heads up toggle and i have also activated the Power notifications Control.
By doing this nothing happens in terms of Heads up as they still appear. Furthermore i am unable to find out where to change the level down on an APP such as Whats APP.
Can someone please advise as to how i can change this as i ultimately want to disable the heads up message displays. Yes i have tried the ADB thing which did work on my S7 but does not work on my S8.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you do the adb commands? You have to grant permissions via a couple adb commands. The are listed on the app when you open it.
Yes I did insert the ADV commands as stipulated by the APP. I have disabled the heads off toggle as well and enabled the power notifications toggle which should allow u to drop down the permission levels per app. I don't know where to navigate to in order to do this tho?
I am not even sure that the Samsung S8 even allows this sort of app manipulation like other devices running Nougat7.0.
I ultimately want to disable the heads off display and I have scoured every forum imaginable trying to find a solution with no luck.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if the S8 allows it either. Good luck with it, I just used it to get rid of the battery in the status bar.
Thanks I hope someone has a solution or a way to get rid of the dreadful headsup display.
you can. first, disable the power notif toggle..
then, for all the apps you want to modify its level, disable the notification for those apps in settings > notification
go back to systemui tuner and enable power notif, then back to settings > notification, you can set level now.
Thank u so much!! That worked like a charm! U can't imagine how happy I am that I don't have the stupid headsup anymore!
Some of my apps like Facebook messenger don't allow me to make it higher than level 4, do u know a workaround to this? Is there a way I can use an adb command to instruct an app to change it's notification level?

Somehow, I'm getting Edge Lighting notifications on the Always on Display

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

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.

Disable Heads Up Notifications?

I've been using a Lineage PIE ROM on my OPO for months and the heads up notification toggle was a tile.
Can't find anywhere to disable it on this OP7 Pro.
Is it possible?

I actually have been disabling them with adb on my past 3-4 devices. But with the 7 pro, if you disable heads up, you won't receive notifications at all when screen is off (unless there is sound)
Also just discovered this, I had my animations turned off and my horizon light didn't work. Randomly turned them on today and what do you know... Animations off = no horizon light.
Not sure what OP is doing to notifications...
Okay so I found no tile but if you switch to Do not Disturb Mode you can deactivate them.
Go into settings->do not disturb->notifications->custom
It's not as efficient as the tile but it works. And I guess with the alert slider it's at least manageable since you can switch pretty easily

These are my settings but the pop ups still occur.
If that doesn't work the only other idea I have is misusing game mode..
Obviously it's not really that usable for games then anymore
I use Tasker for this.

Do notifications still come through on Ambient Display on this?
Tried the same adb command and it broke Ambient Display, worked fine on 6T tho
Connect the device via ADB and run the following command from a command prompt on your computer:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
That disables heads up notifications only

I'm not too sure about that actually, haven't really paid attention to ambient display with this setting enabled.
My use case is to disable these notifications only when in certain apps (YouTube, Netflix). As soon as Ieave these kinds of apps, heads up notifications will enable again.
You can try adding a screen state context, so ensure that %SCREEN = on, else enable heads up notifications to ensure ambient display notifications work.
Just do it in adb. One command and it's off. Still get notifications and dots. And sounds. Just no heads up. Works perfectly...
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

[APP]AMOLED Notification Light "NotifyBuddy"

Original Thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/app-amoled-notification-light-t3943715
So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
To use it:
Install App.
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: 1. On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
2. Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this in next build
Thats it.
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen.
Also on pressing power button once the LED stops and on pressing it again it will bring you to lock screen.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k
If the app is not working check whether the Notification Service is running under Developer Option > Running Services, this service is required for the app to work as intended.
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Changelog:
Implemented burn in protection
Fixed proximity sensor bug
Switch enables LED with default color
Added search functionality
Now App list is sorted in alphabetical order
Fixed power button
Added settings for changing time interval and stop timer
Major bug fixes
Added System Apps
Added a switch to turn on/off notification LED
Give your feedback!!
It would be cooller if it would use the edge lighting.
Great app, love the simplicity.
Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?
Nice app. Been using since release when I saw it on the OnePlus 6t forum. Only issue is when you dismiss the notification (double tap) , screen goes into full brightness first before dimming down. At night, it's hard on the eyes. Hope you can fix it (add auto brightness support so it follows the screens brightness after unlock). Cheers mate and keep up the good work.
Good to see your thread here for OnePlus 7 Pro! Cheers
working thx ?

Nice! It working good!
"Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?"..also my question..
Sometimes the LED flashes even if there is no notification
This is AWESOME!!! Could you make it so that
1: It doesn't flash the white bar across the bottom first
2: not go full brightness?
Thanks
This is an awesome app. Would be amazing if you can use it with the edge lighting.
Brilliant, thank you. Gome through countless apks trying to get a notification led. Thanks
Oh, one more thing, would it be possible to add an on/off switch so you can easily turn it off if you don't want to use it?

you can use the app always on edge if you want customized edge lighting
Nice idea and nice app but would it be possible to get it to work together with ambient display enabled?

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
To use it:
Install App.
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: 1. On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
2. Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this in next build
Thats it.
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen.
Also on pressing power button once the LED stops and on pressing it again it will bring you to lock screen.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy

If the app is not working check whether the Notification Service is running under Developer Option > Running Services, this service is required for the app to work as intended.
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.

I don't want to customize edge lighting. I just want to make it work as notification.

thats exactly what the app does. it lights up the edges of your phone for a notification and you can customize each color per app, etc.

i'm talking about the app ALWAYS ON EDGE in the play store, which is the app i recommended because the poster i quoted asked for that function. so yes, the app always on edge in the play store will do what you want as well. it has a ton of options in the settings.
i also used this one notifybuddy
but went back to picel pulse untill this one support missed call's
pixel pulse works with orginal notification system
