Hello
I have been experiencing problems with my phone wherein the led notification is not working. I use an app called lightflow to customize the colors for each notification. However, one day it just stopped working. I tried restarting the device and reinstallin the app to no avail. Please help i dont know what to do. Also i use 4.3 and is rooted
Go to SETTINGS >> DISPLAY and check if you have the Pulse Notification Light set to OFF.

Hehe no worries.
I had the same problemand after a few hours of troubleshooting i did a hard reset... THEN i remembered that setting!!!
I don't use it very often but I do like one handed operation. Today I realized that it wasn't working so I started undoing all the mods/setup I've been working on. Turns out it was lightflow. I can disable it in accessibility options and one hand operation immediately starts working.
Are there any other decent led control apps to try?
Thought I'd post here to hopefully save anyone else the trouble if they run into the same problem.

It seems like having anything enabled under Accessibility kills one-handed mode.
But Light Flow is working for me without the Accessibility setting. There's a new setting called Notification Access in the Security section.
Try enabling Light Flow there and see if it works. As I said, mine is working that way, but I'm also rooted, so maybe that has something to do with it...
Yeah it was enabled there too. Maybe there's just something wrong with mine because my wife just informed me that hers is working find and all she did was install it and forget about it. I had to enable options I've never used before like the one to make the led flash even when the screen is on, in order to get or to do anything at all.
I'm rooted too.

Make sure that you have the LED settings under 'Settings' > 'Display' to have "Charging" and "Notifications" checked along with the checkbox in 'Security' > 'Notification Access'.

Lol, looks like that was my problem. For some reason I thought they all needed to be turned off so I did that initially and didn't even think to revisit it.
Thanks.
So we don't need to enable it in accessibility? Cuz that ruins most features. Makes you disable them.

Mine is currently disabled in Accessibility and enabled in Security -> Notification Access. In Display -> LED indicator, I have Charging, and Notifications checked.
Working like a charm.
Works good this way with or without root. Just installed.opened.enabled the notification access. And use. Doesn't need enabled in accessibility.

In my S3 they had to be disabled in stock settings to work. In this they need to be enabled in stock settings for it to work. I know lightflow told me to disable it in stock settings on the S3.

Yeah, there were quite a few bugs with 1.2.8. I had to send a full bug report to Motorola, as did others.
Some issues included:
Notifications not working with certain apps
AN failing to wake the screen when device was moved
AN failing to wake the screen when a notification arrived
AN failing to open an app from the AN screen
Active display STILL doesn't show any notifications for me.

I turned off active display because any movement and it would turn on the clock and catch my eye which is very distracting and annoying, anyway to disable that without disabling the whole feature?
Mine was working perfect, did a factory reset to try and fix the high android OS usage and now it's not working. This is very annoying.

If you go into the Apps side of the Activity Display you should be able to un-check the Clock and it won't show it anymore.

I did that. Then remembered I took the Navigation buttons out via the Build.prop and had a hell of a time trying to reinstall everything without them. :laugh: I use LMT Pie Controls so I had to reinstall them through the Play Store before I could reinstall all my other apps. I then took LMT Pie Controls and made them flashable so that the next time I do a factory reset I can just reinstall them via recovery.
What irks me most is that half my notifications aren't working a week after buying the phone. When they worked the day I got it. Gmail doesn't show up, 1Weather doesn't show up, the battery no longer shows up. Outlook does and Messaging does. I know Motorola said there was a problem with 1Weather not working properly but the day I set my phone up a little over a week ago it worked. Now all of a sudden it doesn't, and Gmail should work but doesn't.
Also, does the image verification thing for the forum ever go away? It's kind of a PITA to remember it's there when I post. Guys, I'm not a robot. Seriously.
I turned off the sleep function of active display and now my notifications are working. I haven't tried turning it back on to see if it would work but just something to try for those who are having an issue.

Did you reboot the phone after updating? It's a highly integrated system function. It should require a reboot after updating. I noticed it acted the same as 1.2.8 until I restarted the phone.

Turn the phone face down or cover the proximity sensor face-up.
Just a suggestion. When some apps get updated like line app and some other apps, they get unchecked in that active notification select apps menu/setting. I have to go back and manually check them again to show up on active display.

I'll have to try this.
Hello,
I received my S7 Edge (Exynos), installed my Light Flow app (paid) and it is not working. Tried the Samsung-specific workaround proposed by the app, Direct Mode, etc. and nothing.
Any idea about this ? Any alternatives to Light Flow ?
Thanks !
It works if you turn off the always on display and you enable the samsung fix.
I was using Light Manager on my Xperia Z2 and I'm using it again on S7 Edge. It works without any problems with Always on display feature.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I am not willing to give up the Always-On display, I think I will try the Light Manager.

May I ask you about your settings?
You have 'always on display' ON as you said, what about 'LED-Display' in the 'Display' Settings?
I have the 'Light Manager Pro' and Mode on 'Normal Mode', but the notification is not working..
Here's my settings:
Display -> Led indicator -> Turned On / Enabled
Display -> Always On Display -> On
As far as Light Manager, I just installed app and configure some colors for apps, no other changes:
Normal Mode
Enable Fix -> unchecked
Shows notification Only
I have not made any display nor light manager changes. All was as it was installed / default.
Hope that helps. One more thing I have regular version NOT Pro
Works, I dont know why exactly but it does - thanks!
Light Manager works if you are charging. It seems to get pretty flaky on battery. I set it to turn the screen on when starting the light and it's better. Still not 100% accurate.

He confirmed it for Light Manager but his first comment was for Light Flow which is what I am trying to use.
Lightflow I could only get to work if I disabled the always on screen in the phones settings and enabled the Samsung fix in Lightflow (it prompts you for the Samsung fix). The Samsung fix means notifications don't get dismissed correctly a lot.
Light Manager works with the always on screen. It worked great when I set it up while charging. It got pretty unreliable running on battery. So I set in Light Manager advanced settings I enabled "Wake Screen". Works a lot better like that. Normal mode and no 5.1.1 fix needed.
Always on OFF
Lightflow is working for me

Yes I can confirm. I have lightflow working fine.
I have the always on screen off, and have done right from the start. The fact it only displays missed calls and sms is useless to me. Until it starts show all notifications, then I won't use it.
Notifications always clear fine as well.

Okay, I tried again and found that I must not disable the LightFlow notification. I have installed the legacy version and LightFlow now works and without the permanent notification.
Thanks to all who answered!

Anyone with a rooted phone can try Light Flow to see if it works ? The app has some "root options" that may or may not make a difference
Right now the following issues are present:
- Does not work when the Always-On screen is on
- All applications from Google (Gmail, Messenger tried) do not work, unless you set their "Notifications" toggle off, which is even worse than Light Flow not working
Thanks !
LED blinker pro works perfectly.
how to remove headsup or peeking notifications ? on the LG G6 THANKS.
I don't have any peeking notifications unless you're talking about the phone call popup that shows when you're using the phone
When I get a text or any message the notification comes down on the screen I just want to remove that feature of it showing up on the screen while I'm doing something

Okay no what about other apps? I use Hangouts fpr my texting and it doesn't have this option. Any ideas?
The same question for me. I have peeking with whatsapp also, even if whatsapp has this option and by default has always been disabled. I don't like peek notifications I would like to understand how to remove them by phone options, not by app.

I managed to find that option. It's available in Facebook, or Facebook Messenger or in Facebook Messenger "Lite" too, but it's not available in Whatsapp that is my main interest
Can you check whatsapp?

This was driving me nuts too, for Google Hangouts. Tried "Do No Disturb". Didn't work. Very frustrating when using the phone full screen in landscape mode.
