Hi,
I'm looking for a way to have notifications when my screen is off (i miss so much the led i had on my OP6).
I've tried AOD but i don't want to have, all the time, the hour on my phone.
I just want that, when the screen is off and, for example, i have a message, i have a little notification on this screen. Nothing else.
How can i have that please?
Thanks
There are a few apps such as this one that may be what you're looking for:
NotifyBuddy - Notification LED - Apps on Google Play
Missing LED notifications on your phone!? Worry not!
play.google.com
AlwaysOnEdge -Notification LED - Apps on Google Play
Notifications edge lighting, AOD, Animated wallpapers, Charging indicator & more
play.google.com
No affiliation to either app.
Hi,
thanks for the answer, i'm gonna try that even if i'm a little worried about battery drain
I thought this kind of notification was possible with this android stock version i have. I thought i just didn't find the way to configurate it. How is it possible that OP gives us the possibility to have AOD with the clock and notifications but not just the notifications, without the clock... ? :/
In your opinion, what drains less battery? OAD with a minimalist clock or one of those Led app?

Does anyone know if this phone has a LED notification light like the P20?
There's no LED notification light on the P30. It would be nice if part of the screen would pulse on unread notifications, but I haven't found such an option yet.
buy a smartwatch instead, it does the trick.

I'm using the NoLED Settings app for this. Not perfect but does overcome my problem of no notification LED - can't believe it was sacrificed to allow a slightly smaller notch!.
I use Always on Edge here. Not perfect, but better than nothing.
Hi guys,
So really miss the led notification on pixel 3 (old subject). However, with notification for wake on, the screen lights up when a message comes in. I am a bit perplexed though, for snapchat, for example, when a notification comes in the screen lights up equivalent to the brightness of the screen that is set. So if my main screen is set to 60%, snapchat will display the notification to 60%. Great. Issue is with whatsapp, sms texts, etc. The notifications are not bright at all or according to the screen brightness. Anyone know if (a) brightness of notifications can be controlled to screen brightness like snapchat (b) if not why the notification is different to snapchat ?
Many thanks
I can't seem to find it settings, and I suspect there isn't one.
Coming from Samsung Note 8, this was one of the feature I liked most.
I could use Lightflow and I could customize LED color lighting for a certain sender.
I wonder if anyone know a good replacement for a silent and subtle way of notification through third party apps, maybe utilizing the always on display with colored lights for status indicator?
Thanks in advance.
I honestly wanting to know it as well, its something that I really like even more when it has different colors and not only white as in some motorola versions.
If anyone don't mind please let us know if it has the led notification please!
I can't see any led lights on my mate 30 pro
Nope, there is no notification LED .
I'm using this at the moment,

Not very robust, still learning how to configure it, and doesn't have the same flexibility as lightflow.
Damn that's sad I know it might look sissy but no volume button, earphone jack and notification led might make me think a bit more before buying it
It's not big problem for me - AOD works very well and informs me about everything.
Back when phones still had LED indicator lights, they would blink when you have a text or a notification or just different colors for different reasons and I miss that because I didn't have to pick up my phone.
So here's my question. Given that a lot of phones these days use amoled screens, that means these phones have the ability to only turn on certain pixels while leaving the others off.
Would you be able to create an app that would make a circle of pixels blink when you get a message and also customize the colors of the pixels depending on the notification?
Also it'd be cool if someone would do that because I know nothing about making an App.

There are already some apps available for some devices doing this.
E.g. Holey Light from chainfire:

100% Free - 100% GPLv3 Open Sauce - No ads - No tracking - No nags - Optional donation Holey Light is a LED emulation app. It animates the edges of the camera cut-out (AKA punch-hole) as replacement for the sadly missing LED on many modern...

I have a formerly mysterious notification dot on the status bar. I figured out what it was for when I was investigating why the wifi and data icons weren't appearing. The notification dot indicates that there are other icons that it can't show because (I guess) it thinks it doesn't have enough room. For some reason the OS is only allowing a very small portion of the status bar to be used(see screenshot) . Why? Is there a de-clutter setting I need to turn off somewhere? Is there any way to fix this? Is this an Android 10 issue or a LineageOS 17.1 issue?
If you want details of my investigation, ok: In the status bar settings when I disable the mobile data icon, the notification dot disappears and the wifi icon appears. When I disable the wifi icon, the alarm icon replaces the notification dot. When I move the clock to the left side or the center, the alarm and wifi icons appear. When I go into the clock settings and turn off the alarms, the notification dot is replaced with the wifi icon. But the alarm clock icon wasn't showing before I turned the alarms off. In between the disabling, what was previously disabled was re-enabled.
What idiot programmer thought it would be a good idea to have a notification dot appear in the status bar and not tell you what it means? When you google Android status bar notification dot, nobody has any idea what it means. The only answer I found is from someone who figured out what it was indicating for them (different than what was indicating for me) by investigating like I did. There's no general documentation, but even if there was, it wouldn't do you any good unless it told you where to go to view notification dot messages. I assume there is no such place.

I believe I have also seen it... LOS 17 on Moto Edge.
I think I figured out what the problem is. First here's an explanation of how the Status & Notification bar works from here:
The status bar and the notification bar are very similar, but in reality, they are two different things. The status bar is located at the top of the display, on the right. This is where you will see things like the current time, battery status, and current connections (Bluetooth, cellular network, and Wi-Fi). The Notification bar, on the other hand, is located on the upper left side, where you'll find app icons to alert you to new messages, updates to the Play Store, and other notifications.

It looks like the OS is allocating way to much space to the left side so the right side doesn't have enough space to display its icons. I assume its actually LineageOS doing this, not Android.
This is a known gripe for certain people. It's androids attempt to plan for folks with holepunch and notch cutouts. At default zoom settings you can fit maybe 4 or 5 notifications as well as your clock and status indicators before you're full.
This is compounded by the fact that some apps (mostly messaging apps, text, telegram, gmail) respect this and will show one icon to illustrate that you have unreads, which you can then expand to see all of your various chats/emails. Other apps (looking at you youtube) will show an individual icon for every single notification. 5 unseen videos because you're at work? I guess we don't really need to know about literally any other notification we've gotten.
The best solution I've found is to set a custom dpi so that the screen is as small as is still usable, and to install gravitrybox. It comes with a setting where it will try to increase the amount of notification icons you can view. (in my case its about 9)

The notification side isn't the problem. That side is empty most of the time for me, but I'll try gravitybox.

looks to me like your time font is a tad large.
besides that, seems to be the same issue. android/lineage is trying to prevent the notification bar from becoming cluttered, but it is being way too aggressive.

I didn't do the custom dpi setting, but I did do the GravityBox setting(which I think only effects the status side) and now all of the icons are showing.
The version that LSPosed installed wasn't working. It was saying: "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting" while the module was trying to load. I had to install the latest version(which LDSposed notified me of but wouldn't download or install) from GitHub. I had to reboot for it to take effect.
