I found the solution, in Lightflow there is a check on SMS that says 'alternate on monitoring' and it also says that it needs to be enabled for Handcent. So if anyone else has the same problem there is the answer.

LED notification

Hi guys, I have a quick question, something I'm trying to figure out.
I downloaded the cab on the tweaks thread for the LED notification.
Before that i'd get the LED flashing green when I get a text message.
after installing the cab, no real difference? after missed call, email etc - there is no led flashing...am i missing something here. The LED flashes green when i get a text (but it did that anyway).

did you change it in Start-Settings-Sound And Totifications?
Hello - I've been looking in that menu set, but there's nothing there regarding LED notification :S just notification sounds...
In that control panel, you have to tick the option "Flash light" for each event you want the LED notification for.
It's really weird, because I can not see those options there at all.
Defo have installed that CAB as it is showing in the programs management as "Microsoft LED notification enabler".

Hi,
I got the Leo and I want to have the led notification without time limit. Now the work only for 10min.
I saw that there is setting in Sound et Notifiaction (your image), but in my phone this option (Flash light for ...) is disable.
How can I activate this option to set the notification time? Thank you
Hi,
try the attached CAB! I cabbed this yesterday to enable the led notification (unlimited blinking) for SMS, email, dismissed calls and schedule notifications. After installing the CAB you can change all setting via the notifications tab. It just enables all settings and sets some reasonable values.
Bye,
Sebastian

Same here. Is it for a Hotmail account ? I wonder if it's the reason because it is not set by default.

Not only, also for gmail and my work email ...
Uuuups, I am sorry. I have forgotten to remove the German strings from the CAB. I have attached a new CAB to this post. This enables the LEDs notification. I haven't tried this for email on the HD2, but on my Touch Diamond 2 the LED notifications for emails didn't work if I triggered a manual send/receive of emails.
Just bumping this up. The LED notification for new email *doesn't work*, and this seems like a pretty serious flaw on such a slick, expensive gizmo.

Trackball and Notification

I was hoping there would be a way that I could enable the trackball to flash in addition to the colored led upon an incoming message or email? I have tried searching, but have found nothing....

Notification LED

On my nexus 4 the notification led only seems to activate for SMS messages and glows white.
It does not flash for Emails (I use the Email app not Gmail) or missed calls.
Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere?
Try using the "Light Flow" app to control your LED lights. It works great. You can pick how often the LED blinks and the color it should use.

I get all different colour notifications depending on what app I get a message from without using any 3rd party app.
I've never used the email app unfortunately but seems as though missed calls doesn't trigger the LED. The notifications I know work are:
GMail - Set to white
Whatsapp - Set to green
Facebook - Set to blue/purple can't remember which
SMS - Set to white
I would've thought the Email app would just use the default white notification but maybe it doesn't have a trigger for it?

Before using lightflow, facebook, whatsapp worked for me, nothing else did. not even the notification whilst charging the battery.
After installing lightflow, all sorted except facebook, whatsapp!
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I don't use either of those but did you try adding them to lightflow? I'm pretty sure you need to specifically add non system apps to lightflow.
