Just done a quick test and the led doesnt seem to turn off after you have read your emails, works fine in all the others, cant test disk space coz i have loads haha
Would it be possible to have an option not to have the led blinking, just to stay on

Can somebody please attach this app here in this tread? I can not find it..:-(

Sorry I am still not allowed to post links.
Here is the QR Code. Anyway, there is a public google profile called p0w4Apps where you can find it.

Nice App !
I'm testing it right now.
Could you consider adding a Mail/Exchange notification as well? Would be great
Edit : The gmail notification won't stop

Maybe on future updates. I'm currently focused on get an stable version then I'll start with new features

Ok
Keep up the good work !

Works well but there is an issue where it toggles through a few colours for example
Set blue for the SMS and get and SMS and it works flashes blue but every so often it goes green > Cyan > Blue Blue Blue Blue green > Cyan > Blue and so on.
The other thing would be great is if you could add reminders with a colour that would be super useful.

That is because you did not disabled stock led notifications and it overlaps with the app notification. I'll try to automate it on further updates but you should disable stock notifications manually at the moment. Please refer my first post to do so.

+1 on that!

Great work, i've been waiting for an app like this for a long time !
Currently testing the app, will report when i know more.
Do you plan to support K9 in future updates ?
What about an option for a persistent led instead of a blinking one ?

I really like that and some other people requested it to me too. I'll try my best to include in next update custom frequency option and if no off ms is provided then will be persistent

Would you mind writing a line or so about how the app consumed battery? I guess it's a service running in the background. Does it use a lot of battery?

[Q] Best Notifications Method for text and missed calls

Guys, I am looking for any suggestions you guys use for the best method to be notified of text and missed calls and such. It was always pretty good with the old iphone in such see the message swipe and then reply. I now really like the new little pop up that comes with the stock messaging app. But the popup is gone in about 2 seconds. Also do we not have any method to have notifications show on the lock screen. Just do not like at all to have to look in the notification center for this stuff. I do use Handcent texting mostly just for the pop up. But still not popup for a missed call. At least the S4 has a notification on the lock screen. I usually finally find a good set up but was wondering what most of you guys do. Thanks

You can try dashclock from play store. It's a widget that you can put on the lockscreen and it has a lot of extensions allowing you to see between others: clock, date, calendars, weather, alarm, gmail, whatsapp, sms, missed calls etc, battery info, etc...

Years ago I used Handcent solely because I could set recurring notifications. I've since gotten so attached to the little green droid that we now communicate via telepathy...or so it seems...

Why not rely on the notification light? I use Light Flow which not only lets you customize color but also duration and flash rate. So for me emails get a normal flash and turn off after 15 minutes. But a missed call is more important so I have it flashing red very fast and for a long time - like an hour so I'm sure not to miss it.
But this only works when screen is off of course.

I use Dynamic Notifications and Light Flow. The combo really works well for me and I like that I can schedule a sleep time so it doesn't light up the screen or the notification lights when I'm sleeping. DN will keep showing the notification at set intervals until I enter the app or clear it. Very simple, efficient, and customizable. LF is used mainly because the stock light settings did not have enough customizing ability.

Get Nils along with Nils+. This will give you very iPhone-ish lockscreen notifications. You can swipe them away to dismiss or slide the icon to launch the app. Nils is the main program and includes a widget (old method), and Nils+ will overlay the lockscreen with the notifications (new method, doesn't need a widget).
I personally use Nils beta from Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/115156552435983276604?partnerid=gplp0
Use the links on the right side to Enable Tester for Nils and Nils+. Then you can download them. Nils is on the play store (no tester required), but you must be a Nils+ tester to use Nils+.

I really like the convience of getting a notification, not missing it and being able to reply quickly. As much so many other things the android system does betteras compared to IOS, This is were I struggle to get it better. The LED is great. Helps not miss anything. I have used Lightflow on and off a lot over the last year with a GS3. SO MANY mixed results. lights would work for some apss then not others and then getting the notification LED to cancel when message was cleared has always been a pain. Maybe need to give Lightflow a try on the G2. I'll check out Nils+ and Dynamic Notifications. For now I'm using Handcent which is working ok but I actually like the stock messanger. Thanks again!!!

if you don't mind paying, look up glowfly. it's a pop-up app for texting that works pretty well. I've been using it for about a year. I loved the stock g2 sms pop-up bc it didn't interrupt what you were doing, like if you're watching a video it kept playing... any other popup app, including glowfly, pause the video. but whatever. works better.

Light flow notification

It's driving me insane that everytime I turn my screen on to lockscreen, my light flow notification titls, shows for half a second and then disappears. If I block the notifications from app settings, lightflow stops working.
Anyone having same issue?

Lightflow is working fine for me. I haven't noticed that.

The only time I have seen this is with a small number of apps that must have a different way they implement LED notifications. In those apps, I have to disable the LED notification from within that specific app. When I say a small number, for me it is like... 2 of 80 apps or something.

This is my lightflow notification problem..

This happened with their latest app update to help with Marshmallow improvements. Developer is aware and said they should be doing something to fix it....but it's been a week already.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you're talking about the persistent notification. Yes, it is something he has had to do in order to support future development on Android 6.0. I believe he is working on a means to give people access to the prior version if they want it, but it would be feature frozen (i.e. no more new features).
Check out this on his site: http://www.reactle.com/2015/10/changes-for-android-6-marshmallow.html
And you can star the issue here to bring attention to it with Google: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190997

Getting rid of heads up notifications while phone is unlocked?

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Snapchat and Whatsapp are examples. What sort of notification settings do you have? Are you silencing any apps?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery

It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.

I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?

Android Oreo 8.0.0 Heads Up notifications.

Hi, i've using oficial Oreo for a day now, and i have the same problem that in the previews, the annoying heads up notifications. I can't find the way to disable them in the settings, i did it through adb comands and use the floatify app but it have a problem with de notification bar, it overlap and it's annoying as well, i tried some other similar apps but they aren't optimiced for Oreo, do anyone of you know how to add a few seconds to the stock heads up? or an app that doesn't have so many problems, or i just have to wait a while?

in android 7 there was level notification and it was very useful but i didn't find it now in android Oreo !!
i hope someone help

When you say "heads up notification", are you referring to peeking where there's a short pop up message over the status bar? For example, every time I get a message on Facebook Messenger, there's peeking. If so, that frustrated me as well and I loved it when I could turn if off with Nougat's Power Notifications controls.
I finally found a way to disable peeking; I had to turn off sound by going to Facebook Messenger's App Info - App Notification - disable [Allow Sound]. I already use Lightflow to customize sounds/vibrations from my Nougat days. Once I disabled [Allow Sound], peeking stopped but I could still hear sound/vibration through my customization in Lightflow.
Problem solved for me.

Feel disgusting to heads up notification too.
try "Gaming Do Not Disturb"
I open it all the time to ban heads up notification

Here is how to set notification on oreo. go to setting > app And notification > then select your app for which you want to turn off or reduce importance of notification. If you select preference urgent / high / medium and low. then low means no sound no visual notification and urgent mean sound and popup.

Apps like telegram: it doesn't work properly, I have to do this for each conversation and group and that's annoying. any other tips? and the thing is it does revert back to urgent after few notifications
