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?
I've poked around forums a bit and haven't found answers for these:
1) Edge Lighting - Currently this appears to only work with a few apps (from the ones I have installed it looks like Hangouts, Messages, and Skype). Anyone know whether there's a way to get this working with other messaging apps like Textra?
2) Always on Display: On my S7 Edge, there's a feature where you can view notification icons, but I do not see this on the S8 version. Is this functionality removed or has anyone figured out a way to get these on?
1) edge lighting -- go to settings then display then edge screen then edge lighting then manage notification and select all.

I've done this already, but it's not functional. When I go into the menu, there is a partition between Hangouts, Messages, Skype, and the rest of my apps. Thinking it may only work for those 3? Can anyone confirm they have gotten the Edge Lighting to work with other apps?
Can confirm Edge lighting is not working at all.
Yeah, im wondering how to get those cool pill shaped notifications you see. Is this not with verizon? I dont see any edge lighting.
Edge lighting only works on the Samsung messaging app and you must add the person to the people portion of the edge panel it doesn't seem to work with the carrier app such as Verizon Messenger
I'm having random experiences too... I'm stunned there are no 3rd party apps that do anything creative like this. Wouldn't be that hard. There is no customization to edge lighting. Something like light flow for amoled would be great
the phone has been out for like 10 minutes lol. lets wait for things to catch up a bit. im hoping that full screen scaling is implemented soon too.

This actually corrected itself for me, I suspect it was included in the update. I had to manually check for system update to download, but I am now getting notification icons like I used to on my S7 Edge.

I received an update on Friday, but it is still not working. I went check to see if there was another update, but to no avail. I'm not having any luck finding any other information on this. I'd like to get those notification on my AOD.
My edge lighting worked with Textra initiially but now it seems it's not working anymore.
I turned on the Edge Lighting thinking it was cool. Now it messed up my notifications. Now I just get a small icon and before I used to get the heads up notifications. I have to drag down the notifications panel in order for me to see my messages.

Ok my edge lighting is working, but on the AOD screen and no where else using Textra
Someone on another board figured it out
In order to get edge lighting for Textra to work
Turn edge lighting on set to always (of course), make sure Textra is chosen(of course) and then go to Textra settings, customize notifications and set wake screen to On(or Always)
This will give you Edge lighting on AOD for Textra
BUT note that this will disable the quick reply from the LOCK SCREEN function of textra (if you have that turned on). When you have edge lighting for Textra off and have wake screen set to on - when you get a text, the phone wakes to the lock screen so you can reply(if you have this turned on in the customize settings of course).

Can confirm this works. Also, WhatsApp got added to the list of apps above the line (along with hangouts, skype, and messages) and now works with Edge Lighting for me. No clue whether that was a WhatsApp side update or Samsung.
I had WhatsApp working since day one but seems I only get edge lighting when using the phone. When it's idled it doesn't work

the edge lighting is soooo much weaker than on S7edge - i can barely see it when phone is facedown
when face up and unlocked it does look cool how it circles the phone's edges
Meh ...
Dont like that if you get multiple notifications it only shows the content for the first one - then it says new notification (im talking about the pills notifications)

I think the new implementation is far more appealing and useful, especially for me. I never keep my phone face down. And I like how the screen doesn't turn on fully like it used to.

Hi everyone. I really looked deep into this but i can't figure it out how to make it work. Is there any way to have the edge lighting notification on whatsapp without the annoying pop-up that is the preview of the message? Seems like impossible!
So I'm trying to get something where the Edge Lighting continues to activate instead of or with the notification light. Anything like this exist or is it pretty much, one spin round the edge and that's all you'll get? Surely by now there is something that keeps it going for notifications, right?

I would also like to know. At first I thought it would be a pretty cool feature, but I was disappointed that it goes on once and that's it. Would be nice to have it work continuously on a set interval, like the led notifications. Also would be even nicer if we could set it up to alternate colors according to the apps generating the notifications, like blue for FB messenger, yellow for SMS, white for missed calls and so on.

You can set different colors for apps, well at least in Edge lighting +

Thanks. But can you make it keep alternating the colors? So when you come back to pick up your phone you will know by the edge lighting that you have missed call, skype msg and sms, for instance? I have that with the led notification, using "Light Manager" app. But having that functionality on Edge Lighting would be better I guess.

Yeah.. I'm not trying to change the colors really. I'm trying to set it up so that it continues lighting up until you check the message or whatever, essentially replacing the notification light with edge lighting that continues to pulse for however long it takes to check it. If that makes sense
Sooooo I been digging around and I found something close to what I want. Not exactly what I'm after, but a lot closer than edge lighting (+)...

Edge Lighting Notification App setup steps
Edge Lighting Notification App setup steps
- this app works on a S9+ running Pie 9.0
- both google messages notifs and aquamail notifs will now light the edge with both the screen off and on
- so i thought i would share the setup steps that worked on S9+ Pie
- note the steps marked ** are critical
- eln = edge lighting notification app (the app costs $1.99)
setup steps (Pie 9.0) that worked for me
================================
- it best to execute this sequence in order
- install app
- **apps, 3 dots, special access, notification access, eln, on
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, on
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, show edge lighting, always
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, edge lighting style, multi-color (whatever you like)
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, edge lighting interaction, off
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, manage notifs, edge lighting notification (just this one needs to be enabled)
- eln app, apps, +, messages, aquamail (enable apps that you want edge lighting to activate when they receive a notif)
- notif, see all, all, messages, show notifs, on
- notif, see all, all, aquamail, show notifs, on
- **restart your phone
- **send a text msg to yourself (the edge will not light up yet)
- notif, see all, all, eln, show, on
- notif, see all, all, eln, eln Channel, on (this will not show up until eln sends one notif)
- **notif, see all, all, eln, eln channel, notif style, sound and popup (the popup part is important)
(this will not show up until eln sees a text msg or email)
- now edge lighting will work when the screen is off or on for both txt msgs and emails

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!

Working perfectly on note 8.
Works perfectly on my note 9 ?
Great job man !
Warning : there is a new version of the app ont the Play Store, but it is actually a new app because, for whatever reason, Play Console started to reject my updates...
The first post has been updated with the new link.
You have to set it up again, but I've implemented the search function so it will be super fast
Great, thank you, Note 8 and 9

Does this app only notify once when you get a notification or does it also make the Edge Lighting come on at intervals until you check the notifications?

No it just works only once like regular Edge Lighting does.
It's a very required feature so I've been thinking about it. But every solution I've tried so far is way too heavy on the battery since I have to wake the phone up every time I wanna trigger edge lighting (which would typically be less than every minute). You don't wan't to get a text 5mn after you go to sleep and have your battery empty by morning (which could make you very late for work).
I think solutions that only use AOD like HoleyLight or AOD notifications are the way to go if you want a reminder for unread notifications.

I wanted continuous reminder with Edge Lighting, like every 30 seconds until I check the notification, I've been using an app called Always On Edge - Edge Lighting and it works very doesn't eat up battery at all, plus when I go to bed my phone goes on the charger and DND is turned on, the Edge lighting doesn't come on. Using on my Note 9.

Yeah I know about Always on Edge and I find it way too battery hungry.
Hi dude, I appreciate your work. If you support note FE, I would be glad to it.
What happened to the LED style reminder mode? I was keen as for that.
It was listed in the app description on Google Play as to be coming in mid-July but I noticed all of that has been removed out of the text recently.
On my Note 10, i set it for Whatsapp Business but it's still showing the default purple instead of the green which i set. Any workaround this ? Cheers mate. Nice app. @Zunderstruck
Really love the app, as it is exactly doing what i expected the Samsung Edge Lighting feature to do by default.
Unfortunately i have the same problem as @trapcoder666. The custom set colors get replaced by the color set for your app.
I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/galaxy-s10-s10-debloat-bloatware-t3912073 and lost edge lighting icon and option under Display in s10. Is it associated with Bixby? Any way to bring it back?
Thanks so much for this! Works great on Android 10. I'll buy the premium version soon to remove ads but to also support you as this is genuinely a very useful app.
