Notification Light - Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers

Is there an app that enable the light around the FFC to light up & pulsate when messages from texts, whatsapp gmail etc are received?

Yeah I'd like this option too, didn't think is miss the notification light but I do .

No LED light option
I have been investigating this as well as a couple other issues that I have been experiencing since I got my Note 10+ on Friday. There is an app in the Samsung Shop called 'Good Lock' that is reported to allow the indicator light to be added and functional. However, it appears that it was a functional option on the S10. I installed it and attempted to activate it through the AOD settings as it says to do, but it told me the device was not compatible.
I did stumble across an article prior to release that stated the Note 10's will not have the indicator light option. But this seems very peculiar as the camera ring (which is supposed to be the indicator light) lights up when it attempts facial recognition. As of right now I think it's a software problem? I am not sure. Maybe it will become available on a future update.

Try aodNotify in the Google Play store.

I am using Led Me Know and it works for me. The issue is that it really only works in the dark on the AOD screen as not very bright.

LED problems and problems - and not changing its color

Hey there,
I selected in WhatsApp that I want the LED to shine in yellow (or green or what ever) and enabled it to the normal conversations as I always did with other phones. But with my S6 it just won't seem to work out...
I activated the LED in Android (Settings, Display, Notifications). The problem is not only the color, it looks like it doesn't work at all as it should. The LED is blinking if I get mails, sms, everything - but I want to select what should be notified by LED and what not.
How can I do that?
A friend has the S5 (also with Android 6.0) and he got the same issues. The LED won't seem to work the right way.
I hope you can help me with this.

No notifications?

I haven't been receiving any notifications over the last few days, whether its email/text or whatever, the phone doesn't vibrate/sound like normal, just a quick split second vibration but no notification led or sound. Nothing shows up in the status bar either, but if i go into the app i can see the new email or text.
What's going on? Haven't seen an issue like this before.
Never mind, i must of disabled led blinker pro notifications for some reason, works now.

LEDs?

I'm considering a Mate 9, or 9 Pro. One question I have: does it have an LED, and support multiple colors?
I use Lightflow for my notifications. Different color and/or flash rate for notifications.

Currently using Light Flow on my Mate 9. It works excellent for Huawei devices. However, since this is above Android 6.0 (being 7.0), you will need to install Light Flow Legacy if you don't want the annoying persistent icon to stay in the status bar/notification try. Light Flow Pro is what I had, but switched to Legacy (based on their recommendation within the app), and the persistent icon is gone/not needed. Everything functions great.
So far the colors I've tested that work on this LED - red, blue, cyan, yellow, white, and pink - going in between changes the color slightly or it will make the LED show nothing if it's not found in Huawei's LED hardware color range. Huawei devices are known for that. You'll have to play around with settings, but Fastest and Always On work wonderfully without error. You know how it works, so test it out to your liking.
The LED is really dim.
Hey, I tested some leds within the app but leds are not working when I recieve notifications. For example, led is set to red when charging but when I charge my phone, led is orange as a default huawei led. How to fix this?

Make sure PULSE LED is on within Huawei's main settings. Remove the charging settings - they don't work - you're better off with the stock ones. Keep everything else as FASTEST or ALWAYS ON (in my testing, they were the most consistent because Huawei decided to not implement the faster/brighter Nexus 6P LED so it fades in and out because of the stock PULSE LED. As I said before, make sure you test the colors because the LED spectrum goes from yellow-red-pink-purple-blue-cyan-green (any variation in there just relates to brightness).

You can hide app notifications under permissions, I do that for a few that have that persistent presence and they still work.

No, that only removes it from the status bar. Because it's a "persistent notification," it pops up and remains in the notification pull down when it becomes activated with every message, email, etc. This takes up space and is rather annoying. Thus, I recommended the legacy path which works 100% correctly .
Hmm, I swear when I used it before turning off notifications took care of that.

[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 ?
cut u get it to work wiht eged light??
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?

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

Notification LED with Tap to Show AOD?

So the functionality I'm looking for I used to be able to achieve on OnePlus devices using PlusBeat: A notification light/blinker/text lights up on the OLED display that persists until the screen is unlocked, but the AOD is still made available when I tap the display. As far as I can tell, I cannot achieve this functionality with any of the notification apps I've tried, but I'm open to suggestions.
aodNotify (there's a thread here): Everything works perfectly, but I cannot blink the light independently of the AOD. The clock is always showing while the light is blinking, or the clock never shows at all; no in between.
notifyBuddy removes the tap to show functionality entirely but displays properly.
Most other apps I've tried offer some variation of the two scenarios detailed above. Can anybody help me?

The paid version of aodNotify allows disabling the AOD and just having notifications
General settings > Always on Display operation mode
- Don't Show
The always on Display is not displayed so
only the notification light is visible
