OK I thought I'd post this here as it's a feature I've missed on my Moto x pure.
No root need and no services running in the background and it works brilliant

Is there any app by which we can use the front flash to blink every time we receive any notification on moto x style/pure (unrooted). Please share
EDIT: Found it.....it's FLASH ALERT 2 version 2.1.5.. Available on play store.. Works perfectly...

I think at the moment there are only apps that can use the notification light for things like when the phone is charging. I don't know about for sms or other notifications.

works perfect on my galaxy j7
I am able to control the front-facing camera's flash by using Tasker. Use the 'Set Light' function under 'Alert' in the actions list. In the light source menu, the flash can be triggered as a torch or as a momentary flash. 'torch-light0' is the constant-on until you set the value back to 0 and 'led:flash_0' in the momentary. Be careful testing it - the flash is really bright, lol. Root is required to control the light.
I must have read everything but the last word of the OP. Sorry. Hopefully, this info can help someone at some time...
Found it for unrooted MOTO X STYLE..it's FLASH ALERT 2.. Available on play store.. Works perfectly..
Coming from a moto x pure. Had moto display set up to light the screen when the device was picked up. Also, any notifications would appear here and a swipe up would open right into the respective app.
With the a7 we get a notification light and fingerprint reader. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to efficiently open notifications without a number of taps. Device is rooted with xposed installed.
So far the best I could come up with was to remap the finger print reader to open the notification bar. This means one tap to unlock, and 1/2 sec or later a second tap to open the notifications. Quickly double tapping doesn't seem to work.
Is there a more elegant solution?
Not sure how well it works with the FP sensor, but AcDisplay is a great alternative.

Thanks. Looking for something more recent. That app hasn't been updated in over a year (11/2015).
How are others dealing with notifications on this phone?
Works great on lineage.
I'm not ready to switch to lineage yet. Also, lack of xposed will mean other solutions to modules like gravity box will have to be found.
It's ironic, when I first got the moto x, I was annoyed at the moto display. After some tweaking, I got it to where the screen only lights up when the device is picked up. Notifications can be somewhat manipulated from this state.
It looks like I'll have to relearn notification usage on the a7.
I use KinScreen to automatically turn on the screen when I open the flip case (uses proximity sensor).
Best thing ever.
install the moto display function such as the OG app? i really like moto display where i dont have to turn the phone on all the time to view messages.

No, CM/AOSP uses ambient display for this. Behaves a bit differently but it's more than good enough, especially with a working notification light.
Hey XDA,
Does anyone know if it's possible to enable the android ambient display on a rooted style (I much prefer it to Moto's Active Display). I've been trying to get it working for a few days now. I disabled the moto display task, and can select ambient display in settings, but no go. I've installed the Ambient Display xposed module, and have all the options, but still doesn't turn on when I get a notification or when I reach for it.
I've also tried setting up a tasker profile to make use of the sensors, but can't figure out how to switch on Ambient display, not the entire screen.
Any ideas?
Yes, running into the same issue with stock OTA 7.0 and ambient display on XT1575.
Was anyone ever able to get stock ambient display (not Moto Active Display) working?
No... As most developers of ROMs for this device who have ever tried to get Moto Display working on a custom ROM will tell you, Ambient Display and Moto Display cannot co-exist in the same device. If Moto Display is installed (as in on stock), then Moto removed or otherwise permanently the default Android Ambient Display functionality, likewise if Ambient Display is working, Moto Display cannot even be installed, because of how this works it likely has hooks into the kernel as well.
TLDR answer... If you want Ambient Display go to a custom ROM, otherwise live with Moto Display if you want to stay stock.

Nope, the truth is that lenevo intentionally removed some ambient display code from 7.0 for some unknown reasons. On previous 6.0 android you could enable it just by disabling moto display app in the settings.

Hmm... Then why can't we add Moto Display to a third party ROM? (I only refer to Nougat, Marshmallow is legacy in my book)
So I recently replaced my cracked screen (for the second time. Had installed a duplicate screen before as well) and since then my Moto Display feature isn't working
The 'Approach display' feature works but I cannot press the lock icon or the notification icon after that!
Things I tried:
- Restarting the phone
- Clearing Moto app cache
- Switching the flips on and off
I'm running stock Nougat.
