I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
Since Samsung Galaxy S8 onwards, I did not test this app with a real Samsung device. Most of the time I fixed the device-dependent issues according to the feedback from Samsung users. I know this is not a good way and it is not easy to fix a device-dependent issues without a real Samsung device. So I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to clear up some issues that piled up since then.
I have roughly tested the basic functionalities of Light Manager app on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and most of them are working fine.
I will keep testing and fixing the old Samsung issues. If you have found any new issues, you may report here as well.
Thank you.

Voicemail is using the same LED setting as "Missed Call" LED.

You can somehow generate a black color LED while low battery.
Just go into Light Manager > Low Battery and select "Custom color", then set the hex color code to 000000.
See if it works?
I am testing your app. I will keep you updated with errors if there are any. I will put a update in a few days.

oh then ok it works. thx
I have been using the pro version for a long time
on my Samsungs, lgs, note 8 and now with my note 9.
the app works very good.
once in a while I have to restart the app from within the app to make everything work again. that's because sometimes it stops showing the right led color or it works during "sleeping time".
Any way, I find it the best app for me.
I AM JUST WONDERING what is the difference between the app I have (light manager pro v 12.3.5) and the one You show on the top?

Are you using normal mode or alternating mode?
Light Manager Pro has no advertisement. While the one shown on the top is a free version with advertisement.
I am using normal mode.
it's good enough for me.
What is the difference in the different modes? When I changed modes, trying to get alternating notifications, I lost the ability to get notifications on my Gear 2Pro. I went back to "normal" mode & it works fine but I don't see that I have alternating notifications. Now that my watch provides notifications, I don't use the LED the way I used to, if @ all really. But it's nice to be able to glance at it & know what app is alerting me.
Good app.
Will likely buy the Pro version! But do wish there was more explanation about the various modes & options

There are three operating modes:
1) Normal Mode - Only one LED notification color will be flashing
2) Alternating Mode - A few LED colors will be flashing alternately when multiple notifications are received
3) Screen Mode - Notifications alert will be shown on screen (For those devices without a physical notification LED, only available for Android 4.3 and above)
You are using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and alternating mode is not working for you?

I noticed (unless it was my imagination) 2 different colors for my notification led (which I was pleasantly surprised to find), Gmail is like a light blue, and I think it was fb that was regular blue, so is there an app to set the led color for each app?
Or at least see all the colors it can display?

You can use LightFlow which allows you to control the notifications (light, sound, vibration) for a ridiculous amount of apps. Works perfectly on the Nexus 10, I've used it on my Galaxy Nexus forever. It's a phenomenal app. That's the lite version, there's also a pay version which unlocks more features.
+1 for lightflow, I use it on my phone its great. Trying it for my N10
I'm pretty sure some apps have built in customization for the led color, I've seen it in the facebook and facebook messenger app.

It works very well. Prior to configuring lightflow notifications were not illuminating the LED. After setting up lightflow all is as it should be.

lol.. well I had found this app before starting this thread, however it seemed like it was messed up because it kept showing a light when I had no notifications. Turns out it was "No signal," and after disabling everything in Light Flow, I can test the led for colors.
I suppose you cannot use any other apps that Light Flow doesn't have? for example Facebook or Google Voice? I don't see any way to add an app. oh well.

You can't add programs but the paid version has like over 300 different apps I think. Well worth the dollar or two. I use it for Google Voice on both my N10 and GNex and it works perfectly. If it's not there it's likely due to being the lite version as mentioned above.

Craigsnotifica goes purple. (Edit: On my S3) Try that.
If you couldn't tweak the color led light for Facebook, go to Setting -> Notifications -> Light
If you're willing to root and flash a custom ROM, many feature the ability to control led and set custom colors on a per-app basis. From personal experience, I know that the AOKP ROM by Task650 and Ktoonsez has an awesome interface for doing so.
Just a quick question to see what solutions others have found for these items...
I know there's a built-in flashlight widget, but I prefer a clean desktop. Is there a way to add it to the notification, power control or power menu areas? (Maybe I should put widgets on the lock screen...)
Also, on previous phones with custom roms, I have grown accustomed to a different color LED flashing for different notifications (SMS, Facebook, Mail, etc). Is there a way to do that on the N3 yet?
Just looking for options. Thanks.
Have you tried this for the notification light colors? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466233
And you can try to download and use notification toggles from the market to add more toggles...
Use Light Manager or Light Flow (my favourite) to control the LED colours. Have fun.

Try Knock V2+ for notifications, even better than light flow (in my opinion)
For flashlight, download UTTER! and just switch it on and off with a voice command!
Thanks for the tips. I'll try them all out and see how it goes.

I've played with Light Manager for a couple days and I've moved on to Knockv2. I have it activated and set up for a few apps, but when the screen is off, there's a yellow LED flashing... but nothing on the phone warrants any type of notification. Is that from this app? I disabled it but the yellow flashing continued. I haven't tried uninstalling it. I also am not seeing actual on screen notifications (icons) that the app is supposed to provide.
I customized come colors with Light Manager, but have since uninstalled it.
Ideas?
Uninstall/ reinstall seems to have resolved the issue with Knockv2. Still looking for a flashlight solution. Utter is COOL, but I don't necessarily want to talk to my phone.
I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).
Hi all, I want to know what color is displayed by the led if there are two or more different notifications. For instance, if I have a purple notification for what's app, a green notification for telegram and a blue notification for calls, if I get all of those 3 notifications, what color should be displayed? In my case I noticed that is displayed the color of the most recent notification, but I don't know if it's the default beavhiour. I don't use any led management app.

Yes, there are many color created by "mixing" the primary RGB colors. If you use third party apps like what's app, telegram, ecc you can choose what color do you want for every notifications. If you choose purple, for instance, you will see the led "divided" into two colors, blu and red, which are the colors that mixed together create the purple.

I don't know since until now I never used it, but we are speaking about a led light, so I think that is affect on battery is almost invisible.
About the led, I noticed that sometimes it doesn't blink even if I have notifications. With the first notification no problem, but if I get other messages from the same app, the blink disappear. What could it be?

@meyerweb spent a lot of time figuring out the correct Light Flow settings for the S7, and his directions on another site helped me get it working. If you see this will you share them here?
Here they are:
( http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...notification-light-solutions.html#post5070680 )
Lightflow Legacy seems to be working fine for me now, with AOD on or off, after following all the steps recommended on their web site. If you just install it, and expect it to work, you'll be disappointed. Here's what I did, IIRC:
1. Download and install the regular paid version. Don't bother to set up any notifications.
2. Download and install Legacy. It will alert you that you need to disable, but not delete, the full version, and offer to disable it for you. Accept that option. This is NOT the same as disabling an app in the application manager. Don't disable it in the application manager.
3. At some point, it will prompt to to enable the Samsung workaround. Choose that setting.
4. Do NOT turn on administrators
5. In device Settings, go to Accessibility, scroll all the way down, and make sure Light Flow Legacy in On.
6. Back to Lightflow Legacy: In General settings, check (or make sure these are checked): Enable Light Flow, Show LED in Priority Mode, Accessibility check.
7. Go to Lightflow Legacy and set up your notifications. For some apps you'll need to check the Switch screen on and Wake screen when in pocket options to get notifications to work. To avoid the issue with screen locking and needing to use a PIN to unlock the screen, choose "Phone screen default length" as the value for Screen on length. The drawback to this is that your screen will light up for about 5 seconds when you get a notification for these apps, but it's the only way to avoid the pin locking problem.
7b. Apps I know require these settings include Gmail, E-mail (Samsung's app),
8. For the built-in SMS app, uncheck the boxes for Monitor SMS Conversations, and check the options for Monitor notification bar.
9. Finally, go back to device Settings, choose Notifications, click Advanced, scroll down to Light Flow (not Legacy), and and turn off notifications. Make sure notifications are ON for Light Flow Legacy.
10. In device Settings / Display, make sure LED indicator is set ON.
With these settings, everything seems to be working for me, with the only drawback being the screen turns on for notifications from Gmail and Email. If you set up notifications for an app and just get the regular Blue LED instead of what you've programmed, follow step 7 for that app.

Lightflow Legacy seems to be working fine for me now, with AOD on or off, after following all the steps recommended on their web site. If you just install it, and expect it to work, you'll be disappointed. Here's what I did, IIRC:
1. Download and install the regular paid version. Don't bother to set up any notifications.
2. Download and install Legacy. It will alert you that you need to disable, but not delete, the full version, and offer to disable it for you. Accept that option. This is NOT the same as disabling an app in the application manager. Don't disable it in the application manager.
3. At some point, it will prompt to to enable the Samsung workaround. Choose that setting.
4. Do NOT turn on administrators
5. In device Settings, go to Accessibility, scroll all the way down, and make sure Light Flow Legacy in On.
6. Back to Lightflow Legacy: In General settings, check (or make sure these are checked): Enable Light Flow, Show LED in Priority Mode, Accessibility check.
7. Go to Lightflow Legacy and set up your notifications. For some apps you'll need to check the Switch screen on and Wake screen when in pocket options to get notifications to work. To avoid the issue with screen locking and needing to use a PIN to unlock the screen, choose "Phone screen default length" as the value for Screen on length. The drawback to this is that your screen will light up for about 5 seconds when you get a notification for these apps, but it's the only way to avoid the pin locking problem.

One should show up as Lightflow, and one as Lightflow legacy.
I would suggest uninstalling both, then starting over by installing Lightflow, then installing Lightflow Legacy. When you install the legacy version, it should ask you to disable the regular version. Let it do that.

No, I have the same name. Anyway I tried again and now I see only one app, but in the Accessibility menu I see two app so I don't know what is the correct one, besides I get two notifications for every app and I tried to use what's app and light flow for the other notifications, but the led doesn't blink when I get a what's app message. I had to unistall it until I get how to fix this. Some help would be appreciated.

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!

Thanks.
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.
