Howdy!
I am trying to set that when I receive a message, it will show a small notification light on the mobile, like I used to have on previous android, but cannot find any option for it...
Is it possible that a so modern phone does not have it?
Thanks

There's physically no led notification light anywhere on the phone that could light up.
You can search for apps on the Play Store that sort of try to imitate having one, but afaik none of them work reliably anymore.

"lackness"
I'm fairly sure that it's been dropped industry-wise for many many years now, much like the 3.5mm jack.
Ambient/Always-on-Display is sort of a replacement for having a notification light though, might want to look deeper into configuring it. I think there's also 3rd party apps that let you configure your AOD even further.

You can be right again, maybe I am old fashioned but I found it useful.
I initially deactivated the AOD for reducing distractions, but I can activate it again if this is only way to see notification without pushing power button to activate screen again

Don't get me wrong, I used to be an absolute sucker for an led notification light.
Keep in mind that AOD and Ambient Display aren't the same. AOD, as the name suggests, keeps the screen always on, whereas Ambient Display just wakes the screen whenever you receive a notification. I only have the latter turned on.

most phones now doesn't have big bezels not only 6a. so where will you put that notification light? the best you can do.. use a rom with an oldschool feature, that will blink flashlight for notification. like this..

There are actually several phones out that also don't have big bezels but there's a tiny notification led hidden behind/next to the earpiece. Common sense.
I use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.aodnotificationledlight
You can configure it so that it 'flashes' only a few times when a notification comes in. So far I haven't noticed any battery drain.

Thanks! What I have to set for the option of the AOD?
When I click it, it brings me to display settings and it is already ON for all notifications. I tried to untick and set back, no change
Without that, it does not proceed XD

My settings in aodNotify are set under general / always on display operation mode: don't show
in the device settings the always on display is turned on.

Not intentionally... I quoted 2, but created 3 lines, I tried to remove yours but without success for the tag part
Already suggested but 1 more vote for HoleyLight.
Chainfire is a community member and respected dev and the app is pretty configurable. Should probably cover your needs nicely.

Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea
It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.
It will be eventually supported.
this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.
This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us
My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.
Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.
I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?
Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.
i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Also the notifications can have a time limit, i have set at 15mins and haven't noticed any battery drain.
Modified 2X/Black touch led notification app
Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

Hi everyone,
I found a great app that can blink LED when you get whatsapp/sms/incoming call notifications. Link is below. It works fine, is very much customizable. however it does cause force close once in 2 days or so. The dev might not support this project further, can anyone fix the fcs if possible?
Also, the whatsapp function does not support devices like xperia arc. Is it fixable?
Thanks, enjoy

I have a P8 Max also. Light manager didn't work with it, but Light Flow does. Use that instead.
Ok thank you, I will try it, but I will miss the "Do not disturb" setting" in light manager.
I have to use this built-in function in Emui but it's disturbing, as the phone vibrate when disabling it in the morning. Would there be a way to silence it?
Thank you

I believe light flow functions in the exact same ways. It has a lot of options built in. Play around with the settings.
On my european Mate 9 light manager works without problems.
Hello all. Since our Motorols do not have LEDs, I have found a very good application that solves this problem by enabling flash notification. The application is free and without advertising. Maybe some of you know her but maybe I helped someone.

XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-frontflash-notification-v1-6-t3734332
A big thank you to the author of the application.
actually i noticed a LED in the top right upon booting the phone for the first time, so physically, there is a notification LED. But, i think its disabled in the android software, maybe a custom rom can fix that at some point.

In fact, if you look at it in good light, you can see a small dot on the right side of the flash. However, I'm not sure if it's a led. It would be fun because then they will do it in unofficial roms.

It is a white LED. If you let your phone discharge its battery all the way down to nothing, this light will turn on when you charge it. After a few moments, it then turns off. No idea why Moto set it up this way. I'd rather have the LED on all the time when charging.
Ex kernel manager gives you options to use the white led. I have it set to be on when my phone is charging lol

Hi Guys! If you could, what Apps would you like to run on your cover screen, given that it's really small or what type of information you wish you could access from the cover screen?
I am a developer, so maybe, just maybe I will be your genie to your wishlist of cover screen apps.
Go ahead, be as creative as you could be! I look forward to hear ideas other than using the Cover Screen as a Notification LED please.
there is no native android support outside screen... so you can't to do anything...

I obviously can do some magic.
That's why here to collect ideas which the actual users may would like to see, I won't be super keen on AOD implementation as that would eat up battery, but sure, could be an option. I have my own list of to-dos for the first version of the Super App, just want to see what users come up with.
something can toggle wifi Bluetooth sound flashlight.....
I used aod on all my samsungs. and even on large screens it didn't add much to the battery drain. But how many forums I read, most users are at a loss why the small Samsung display, which is logical for aod, was not used in this model.
about adding functional - enabling bixby routines would be logical without opening the phone.

Well, if Samsung natively implements sure, not much batter drain, but as a third-party developer there are limited access to the APIs (at least not without root.) But yeah, I will see what I can do about it. Bixiby routines, interesting.
I second the toggles for bluetooth/sound/flashlight. Also would like the notification ring as well.. like the ring we see when we charge it.
super. I hope you will finish this soon
Thanks forbyour work is it possible to choose thé number of lines of notification liké the Google assistant message (3 lines) and an vertical scrolling and longer time before extinction for notifications ?

I have a couple days with the flip and for my confort don't spend to much effort to open and for the sake of won't scratch more often when I put on every surface close position, I semi-close pacman like position and put like a stand so the metal frame only touch the surface not the glass and that way when I have to open only use one hand to fully open.
But in that position all the notifications appear on the main screen, so no way to see what notification have, it's there a way to show the notifications on the second mini screen in open position?
