How to enable notification light for gmail?

As title states...is there a trick to do this? Notification led works fine for texts, but I get nothing for gmail. Thanks

There's an app called Lightflow on the Play Store that works great for changing the notification light settings. There is so much customization you can do, it's a really great app I would definitely recommend that you check it out.

Just tried that...didn't work. I always used light manager...didn't work at all. Can someone confirm ye or ne that gmail led notification works on this phone?

Looks like there is no way to have multi colored led lights using third party apps...light manager nor lightflow will change colors. Bummer

The LG notification light software could be overriding third-party program settings. When you use the notification test mode in lightflow, the LED does show up as whatever color you configured for that notification. I just got the phone and I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the notification light so I'm not sure.

Test mode only shows red no matter what color you choose in both light manager and lightflow

Then u have a defective phone...

alright, this is what I do to get mine to work.
Download Light Manager. Make sure operating mode is set to normal. Then just to test the LED settings change the missed call of any normal notifications to a color of your choice. Then under the same menu where you changed the color hit Test. Once you hit test a pop up menu shows up. Says something about screen off or something. Well don't click anything. Just hit the power button on your G2 and turn the screen off. wait 3 seconds and you should see the notification blink the color you just picked. now turn the phone on, click ok and click Restart light manager.
Now for Gmail, or other apps to blink custom colors you need to uncheck the notifications from normal system settings. go to settings - display - Notification led. Don't click the on.off switch, click the words Notification LED. Then uncheck Missed call, meissed messages and missed Emails. well, all of this fixes mine. I have Customs LED set and it works fine.
Hope this helps

6p LED light

I currently have the Nexus 6 which requires root to enable the notification light. I was looking online, it looks like the LED notification light will pulse and can be enabled via stock ? The video I saw showed a red light when a text came in, are there different colors stock, or would more customization require a custom ROM ? Thanks.

Certain SMS apps like Textra will allow you to customize the color of the LED notification on the 6P.

Light flow and many other apps control the led stock, non rooted. An than Roms even have their own personal led light settings. All work great on 6p.

So you can activate the light, but the default is red for all notifications unless you manually use a 3rd party app ?

Default is a light blueish/whiteish light.

I just got a Nexus 6P yesterday. It was already running Android N. Where is the switch to activate the notification light? The settings menu is different from what is shown for Marshmallow.

Nevermind...I found the switch under the settings menu in Notifications.

lockscreen notifications

Is there a way to display a notification on the screen as it arrives, instead of useless turn off "Always On" which is incapable of displaying anything but clock and missed calls/sms?

I would also like to know that. I don't why i can only see the name of my provider and not notifications when i turn on screen, but not unlock it. Before s7 i always saw little notification icons

S7 Edge with 7.0 - lacking Power Notification Controls and screen wake notifications

Why the hells samsung removed System UI tuner? Or it's me that cannot find this controls outside?
Now we cannot control the notifications properly... with the levels. Whatsapp for ex gives annoying previews over each and every message and now only exist 2 options on notifications or put it silently (no preview + no sound) or preview+ sound... what a stupid move.
Also each notification wakes the screen... any way to turn this off?

If this is true, I'll happily skip the nougat update

Yeah but you see. Like thread starter mentioned. If enable show silently ur apps will completely silence. No notification sound and vibrate. He just want to disable the heads up notification only. Not the sound. Marshmallow seeting is better because they separate it.

ive been having issues with this as well ever since i bought my S7 Edge, coming from Nexus 6 i really miss the advance notification control inside AOSP. anyway to enable it in s7 nougat roms?
thanks

Ambient Display?

Anyway to replace AOD with Androids Ambient Display?
AOD is nice, but I'd rather have Ambient displays. Ambient Displays temporary feature which just shows notifications briefly is what I'd prefer instead of just an icon and a big ass click always there.
There used to be Xposed modules but those are pretty much gone nowadays.

Download NILS.

I believe NILS is for lockscreen notifications only, it won't replace AOD screen.

Ambient display turns on the screen when you receive a notification. This is exactly what NILS does if you set it that way and turn off it's notification service, so it'll turn on the screen when you receive notifications and show the standard notifications from the phone you're using.
