Does anyone know if it is possible to detect notifications from other applications using the standard Android SDK? I've spent a while looking for a solution, and I'm coming up blank.
Basically, I'm trying to write an app that changes the trackball color based on pending notifications... any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You can not do ... The only thing you can do is to implement the Broadcast Receiver's actions to intercept the notifications

I've just switched over from a blackberry, and I absolutely LOVE this phone. However my main pet-peeve (other than the battery) is the lack of per contact SMS sounds. I get SMS notifications when one of my servers at work has an issue and basically need to be able to override vibrate settings as well as a custom sound from this particular contact. I was curious if there was anything like this available.
Thanks in advance.
Look for SMSPopUp in the Market. I believe it allows you to set individual notification tones.
you could also try handcent or chompsms, they all allow this. Just make sure you turn off notification in the default app or you'll be getting double notifications.
This is great! Thank you.
Best of all its open source, so I can add the features im missing, such as overriding silent/vibrate (if at all possible)
Generally, I love my new phone but there is one issue I have not been able to solve which is a deal breaker. According to the Nexus support line, and my extensive experimentation, it is impossible to turn off email notification vibrations (non gmail), yet still have vibration notifications for text messages.
I receive hundreds of emails a day and the last thing I need is the phone vibrating all the time. On the other hand, my texts are less frequent and typically need attention!
According the Nexus support rep it is a function of Android 4.2
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
On an unrelated issue, the servers automatically assigned by the phone for both Bellsouth (Yahoo) and Hotmail email did not work. I had to search the web for other viable pop3 and imap options!
Can you use handcent for your texts and enable it that app?

Unfortunately the issue is not with the sms program. The problem is with the native email program. It seems no matter what setting one uses on any email account there will always be vibration notifications. The only way to turn these off is to set the phone to silence (one down volume click after vibration mode). The problem with putting the phone in silence mode is that one cannot get sms vibration notifications.
In my mind this makes ZERO sense!
apparently this has been a known issue for about a month.......

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried Light Flow...even bought the paid edition. Unfortunately, this does not work. I tried all types of combinations between email and text and same issue. Net net...if the sms notification vibrates then the email notification vibrates and visa versa. Looking to disconnect those two!
This problem might go beyond the G2 itself, but I'm hoping someone has an answer. I want my phone to vibrate when things like emails or text messages come in, so I have vibrate enabled in the overall LG UI settings menu.
I do not want my phone to vibrate every single time I get a message on Google Hangouts, although I do want a notification in my top bar. I have notifications on in the hangout settings and vibrate disabled, but it seems that the overall UI vibrate on notification setting is overriding the application preference and making it vibrate anyways.
Anyone know what the best way is to handle this? Do I need to disable the overall setting and only enable it in certain apps? Or will the overall disable override everything too and then I won't get any notifications?
I have this exact same problem. Did you ever figure out a solution
Hey guys,
Is there anyway I can make certain notifications-- e.g. text messages vibrate more than once if they are not discarded/read? I'm right now using google's messenger app and I just cant seem to find any settings that make it so that I get 2 seperate vibration notices (e.g. right away and 30s later) or whatever.
help?
ok i fixed it using textra
Hello. After the Oreo update and losing ability to set individual notification sound, I switched my default messaging app. Since doing so I constantly get a notification/invite to set the native Samsung messaging app as my default. Does anybody know of a way to get this to stop? Just about every time I wake up the phone it pops up. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
