The search is on for an App that does LED notifications. I'll try and keep this thread updated as the search continues.
Wish List:
- no LED on while charging (so it can be used for notifications)
- Red Blink for missed call
- Blue Blink for new text
- Green blink for new email
Can't be hard. This was the most amazing thing ever for my Blackberry. There's a video on youtube, i'm not yet "allowed to post links" so here goes...

I've seen red and blue, but not a green led.
When do u see the blue LED light?
Colored trackball was single handedly my FAVORITE feature on my Blackberry, my Sidekick and my NexusOne.
You would think they would make the notification light a BIT easier to control.... But you had to root the Nexus One just to be able to control them.
If people are making apps to mimic notification LEDs for the other Galaxies, I think its only a matter of time until a dev makes a nice LED notification app.

When the battery has charged fully (which seems to be 95% ).
So has anything been found allowing customizable led notifications? I'm running Nebula 1.0.7 and I'm not sure if it's just the rom, DK28, or whatever that does not seem to have an led notification setting. Unless I'm just that incompetent to not be able to find it... I just checked my brother's stock Epic, and the led notifications are in the sound/display settings but it's not on my phone.
I was having a hard time getting any led notifications with anything but the stock sms app. I had to open the custom color option in handcent to get my led to blink. Sadly I can't get handcent, go sms, or sms popup to give me a blue led no matter what I do. Also, I used the led test menu by using the dialer code and I can't get a green led. I'm assuming the epic is without one, but I can get purple to come up.
Samsung only put a blue and red led, which significantly limits our led colors (red, blue or purple)
I tried running handcent to get an led notification for my text messages, but I couldn't get anything, even when I used simply red at normal blinking speed. Any suggestions of what to do?
Uh with any DK28 rom I run (running midnight rom right now) I can set my led blue for incoming txts in go sms and it works fine. I tried gettin the purple led to work but no luck

I've actually just tried getting it to flash purple and it worked. I was using Handcent and under the setting > notification settings > notification settings > color of led > green
I recently started using Go SMS (similar to handcent, but I like the UI better) and was able to set my incoming SMS notifications to blink blue, while emails etc still blink red. If anything, it's a start. I haven't tried to squeeze a purple out of it.
bump.
I'm mainly looking for LED notifications to work while the phone is charging. Seems there should be something simple to keep the charge LED state from overriding any LED notifications. Flip it around to make notifications take priority over charge state.
Try NoLED from the market. I use it for that same purpose. It doesnt use the LED itself, but displays an icon of the type of notification. Default are SMS, calls and email, but you can "monitor" other types of notifications and will display the icon for that app. Icons skip around the screen so you wont have to worry about burning LEDs.

I'm aware of the app, but since the Epic has a hardware LED that does work, I'd like to see someone figure it out. If I knew anything about android I'm sure I could poke around, but I don't know really where to start.
Plenty of phones have LEDs and I dont think any of them do what you ask for.

droid 1 did, and you didn't even have to root it.
I had orange for my SO, purple for best friend, green for email, blue for texts, white for for missed calls. red for low battery, which i could set myself.
Hmmm, I have an Epic, I think I will take a look into doing this.
i would love to see this too on the epic. before i upgraded to froyo i only had the red led notification after froyo i have both red and blue. i do miss this from my bb...berrybuzz was cool as ish!!!
Well I know how to turn the LEDs on and off via the cmd line, might be another way to do it using an available method within the SDK so that we do not need root to accomplish this.
The app to control this needs to run as a service so it can control the state of the leds, controling how long the light flashes, what color it flashes, the pattern, etc.
The good side of this is I am pretty sure I can make the app indicate all three notifications, meaning go to red, then to blue, then to purple which would indicate a text message, email, and missed call. I will work on this a little tomorrow if I get time and hopefully more on Sunday with a hopeful test version out this Monday maybe?

Hi
I'd like to know if there's a way to have the notification led blinking when screen is ON.
By default the LED blink only when screen is OFF.
I'm rooted, and use Lightflow to manage led colors, but didn't find anything to allow this.
Thanks
No idea ?

No idea? I want exactly the same
Why bumping the thread if one can search it in google play?

I believe it does the work

It does not.
Light manager and Light Flow apps are designed to customize your led colour, ex: red -> charging, red blinking -> low battery, green -> text message etc.
However, the led on our Razr i cannot, by design, be turned on when screen is on.
This topic should be closed.
Hi,
just received my first Samsung yesterday and wanted to get the Edge Lighting working.
I enabled in the settings and also all needed apps like Telegram and Whatsapp are enabled inside the Edge Lighting settings.
Somehow this never works, with screen on or off. There's no lighting when a notification pops in from the enabled apps.
Is there any fix for this? I miss the notification light from my old P10 a lot and this seems to be the only way to have something in this direction on the S10, at the moment.
Before I've got the phone I was hoping Samsung enabled a notification ring around the camera.
Greetings,
Jannomag

Same thing here. Edge notifications not working at all.
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------
Just checked and it does work when I get an SMS, but not when I get an email. And Gmail is activated as one of the apps that should light up the edge notifications.
Not working for me either
Edge Lighting has always had an issue with some apps with the screen off. You need to change Whatsapp settings to Settings > Notifications > Popup Notifications > When Screen off.
Same for any other app it's not working for with the screen off. It needs to have a setting enabled for "popup" or something along those lines.
Iam having the same issue. It will work if you select the popup notification within the app to 'when screen is off' but then the message is also displayed in a popup on the lock screen which i don't want! How hard can it be to want the edge to light up and for the notification contents to remain private.
I had the same thing with my S9, but if you read carefully in display > edge screen > edge lighting > show edge lighting > while screen if off, it says that it replaces notifications that "turn the screen on", and since whatsApp doesn't do this by default, you'll have to turn on pop up view. But here's the thing, I never thought of this solution before, I just installed "glimpse notifications" from play store, it basically lights up the screen if you receive any notification, I personally ignored all apps except for whatsApp, and made sure I enabled persistent notifications to dismiss battery optimizations, keep LED notifications to make it continue blinking, and delay screen-on to allow the notification sound to be fully played, all these can be found under "extras" in the app menu, they'll suggest you to do so as soon as you open the app, and Voil

Jannomag, you very possibly have seen this by now but, if not you might take a look at Chainfire's Holey Light app. Thread with info and link to Play Store listing is right here in S10 forum in Themes, Apps and Mods. It is a good third party answer to your wish for notification light around front facing camera.
I have similar issue with native Samsung Email v6.1.12. All other apps show Edge Lighting, but for native email using gmail / private / work account, no lighting for me. All notifications sound and vision are enabled.
Anyone facing this issue: Notification showing on status bar but not showing on lockscreen, Even after enabling all the app permissions and also show all notifications on lockscreen.
Tried every setting but still not working.
Anybody know any solution?
Notification issue
Yup having the same issue. Infact the notification light doesn't come on at all....I have tried everything checked all settings, permissions. It just comes on when charging or when front cam pops up. Also I don't get sound with some notifications but for some I do.
But the the notification light never works.
Is this for whatsapp? For me, after setting all the permissions, sound, notification badge in statusbar, lockscreen started appearing with sounds.
Light, I haven't noticed yet, as its on the top. Will verify that.
k20pro notification light
Hey guys, its been 2days, i'm not able to get notification light for any application , tried all settings but still no luck. Please help me if anyone found the solution
The notification light on the pop up camera comes on for me but i dont get any notifications on the lock screen or always on display
Can confirm this bug. The ONLY app that gives me notifications on the lock screen is Snapchat, even though I've explicitly allowed all notifications and their content to show in the lock screen. And for my other messaging apps I've gone to their specific settings to allow this as well. Still nothing. It is really frustrating.
Hi I'm currently using redmi k20 pro running China ROM with MIUI 10.3.16. i noticed with messaging apps such as instagram and line won't show me notifications unless i enable autostart in the app settings. Battery saver has also been turned off. Anybody faced similar problem?
Ok so guys try putting off Adaptive battery in the Battery&Performance setting. I started getting notifications on the lock screen as well as on the ambient display screen after putting it off.
Let me know if it works for you guys.

Figured out the "no led thing". Change in whatsapp the color from red to white. That was in my case the solution.
After update MIUI 12 (CHN), Line application pop up notification not shown in lock screen. The only thing I saw is a blink black dim light under display screen after recieving Line app message from other phone (while Led notification is running normal).
However, I have totally checked notification settings and its correctly set.
Please advise, thank you.

Now I can solved this problem by go to Settings > Lock Screen > When notifications come > Light up screen
