I have written a little application that gives LED notification for missed calls. (the default behaviour gives you only LED notifications for SMS,email and voicemail)
Features: Customizable sound, vibration, led, repeat notifications for missed calls, incoming calls, sms, bluetooth enabled/disabled, bluetooth device connected, airplane mode, battery level low, etc.
Version 0.8.9 includes a Locale plug-in! For all the Droid users make sure that you have got "Missed Call for Android 2.0" installed.
You can try it out if you want.

Android Market - Missed Call
FEEDBACK:
Just reply to the thread here or tweet me: http://twitter.com/missed_Call
This is pretty cool, now all we need is a Bluetooth notification light.
Thanks mister. This is just what I needed.
The next updates will be released in the Android market only. But I will update the thread here when the next version is available.
Hey i emailed you earlier about what the status icon does. i just wanted to say thanks i understood now. thanks for the quick reply too.

Awesome job. Interface exaclty like it should be. Working exaclty as expected. Strange feeling to have such app on this new platform. Most of apps is raw a meat. =)
your app rocks. originally, i gave you 4 stars and said "add option to change colors"
and you did that in the update. i can't change my rating in market, but i now give you 5 stars.

You rock! I downloaded this a few days ago and just got the update- SO COOL!
I dont know if you are looking for ideas or taking requests, but ability to play a sound every few (cusomizable ) minutes would be stellar! I miss my reminders for missed calls, texts, etc from WM as my phone is usually in its sleeve
Better yet, your app taking over all the notifications to give us selectability in color and blinking rate of the LED (and hopefully sound!) for ALL notifications, that would just be a "dream"!
I'm thinking about all kinds of different customisations for the notifications. Today I added SMS LED support. Have fun with it.
Regards!
if you keep it up you may want to get a "donation" Paypal linkie
This app is awesome I'm still hoping for an audio reminder every X (customizable) minutes using X (customizable) alert in either this app or another similar one, but for now this is great
I'm thinking about adding this reminders. The problem is that they will drain the battery. But I will test these things and add them.
PS: If you got a forced close while stopping the service it would be nice if you could inform myself. I know it has to to with the stopping of notifications but I can't figure out the excat bug.
Looking at the phone seems to drain the battery. I once thought about using GPS and it drained the battery. Just saying battery seems to drain it. I wouldnt worry about the notifications hahaha
Well yeah. I'm looking into that. I will add some Timer as well to make it possible to shut down the notification after a certain amount of time. But well I just need a break at the moment.
a break? Get back to work!
seriously though, great work! I am looking forward to seeing your future versions.
In the next release we will have some bugs fixed. SMS and Call LED stops blinking now when you read the messages or look at the missed calls. (which was a hard peace of work since it is completly undocumented ) In addition we will have a permanent status icon when it is set. (it will not disappear when you clear the status bar) And last but not least we will have a silent incoming call notification. (LED flasing while incoming call in changeable color)
Regards!
add reminders please!
Ah yeah. I will look into them.
Hello again,
I downloaded the newest version of the app with sms support. Its works good but found a couple "bugs". First is, that sometimes the led turns green, but I clear it and then its blue again like it was set. Happens from time to time. Last, if its possible, can the led take precedence over the charging light?
Also, what is the timer for? Is it the duration the led stays on like in a blink or what? Sorry having a problem undestand the on off thingy.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Your first problem is fixed now in the current release. (0.3.7) I'm sorry but the system doesn't allow overriding the charging LED. I tried that serveral times but there is no chance to do it in the current Android release. (confirmed by Google developers)
I renamed the timer now. It is the interval that the LED is blinking. 300ms/300ms leads to very fast blinking for example.
Regards!
They all have to do with text messaging, the people screen and touch flow tabs.
1) I have added a custom ringer for text messages and with my old phone you can stop the sound by either opening the txt or pushing a button. It doesn't work with this phone. Can I fix that or do I need to dramatically shorten my custom sound?
2) When on the phone and I receive a txt message instead of a beep letting me know I have one I'll hear the entire alert sound in the ear piece while trying to talk to my client. Not very easy to do.
3) Can I stop the incoming txt from showing a preview while on the home screen?
4) This is a change I hope I can make regarding the 15 favorites on the people screen in the contact list. Instead of seeing a pile of contacts one on top of another can I change the layout where the icons are side by side in rows so I can just tap one instead of scrolling through them all?
5) Finally can I change the icon order on the touch flow bar? I'd rather have programs and web button after the txt and email button. Any way to do that?
Sooo many questions...
1. Use a short alert for text messages... you'll probably notice all the pre-installed alerts are short - there's a good reason for this!
2. See above.
3. Install HD Manila from the 'Themes, applications & software' forum and uncheck the 'Messages' tab.
4. Scrap TF3D altogether and use spb Mobile Shell instead!
5. See point 3 above and re-order the tabs any way you like!
... sorry for the blunt answers, but you'll get a much better response from people if you ask one question at a time in the relevant section, rather than reeling off a load of stuff all in one post. Answering stuff is very time consuming.
SEARCH is your best friend!
1) If you press the call end key it will stop the ring tone (i think this is rom specific tho) but it will minimize any app your in so if quite annoying. From a phone so good, you wouldnt expect **** like this.
2) I have found no way up to now.
3) Stop preview - do you mean where it comes up with a white box showing some of the text? If so, turn that off by going Settings >> Personal >> Sounds & Notifications >> Notifications >> in the event, select 'Messaging: New text message and uncheck 'Display message on screen'
4) Cant help you there im afraid
5) An application called Advanced Config can do that, if not, installing HD manila will give you the ability to do so. (use advanced config if you dont wanna be messing with TF3D)
Hi..
I think I remember that on an earlier CyanogenMod I could change witch color the LED shud have on missed calls, txt and so on.
But now on v4.2.11.1 I cant find that option.
I se that now after update I have green LED on missed calls, earlier I had blue.
I have it on 4.2.12.1 I think it is. The latest one at least.
look for an application called Missed Call or another one called Missed Reminder
Go to Messaging app->hit menu->settings-> scroll to notification settings->hit LED color not sure if it just changes the color when you get a message, or on every notification
hi folks...
sorry if its been asked and answered elswhere... i didnt see this elsewhere on the forum.
when i upgraded my stock att n1 to 2.2, the trackball began glowing various colors for certain notifications. i know that a rooted phone can have this feature set for specific color for notification, but on stock 2.2, i cant find a guide to what glows what color, or how (if able?) to change the color settings.
sometimes my trackball now glows green, and sometimes white.. no rhyme or reason. anyone here have a link, or info on how to associate the meanings of trackball colors?
thanks
look for blink in the market

This is a feature of FROYO. For applications that support the color notification you can set it in the apps settings. I know on my I have text messages set to one color, gvoice to another and email to yet another.

thanks for this info. looked at each of the programs you mentioned though, and it seems i dont have the same options that you mention above. can you be a bit more specific with how you access the setting?
ive entered the settings area of each program (gmail, voice, talk) and for gmail i have notification bar, ringtone, vibrate, and notify once. for voice, in addition to the gmail options (minus notify once), i have light option (but not color setting... just blink or not blink). for talk, i have notification bar, ringtone, and vibrate... thats it.
i did try the blink application posted above, but i dont use sms or mms (just voice), and i really dont need colors for incoming calls... just wanted distinct colors for voice, talk, and gmail.
thanks.
The key point is this:
"For applications that support the color notification you can set it in the apps settings".
The stock apps don't have settings to change the colour of the notification. Things like Handcent SMS/ChompSMS/SMS Popup provide notifications that have specified colours, which you can use (and disable the stock apps notifications).
In a similar way, GMail notifier can be used instead of the stock gmail app notification to allow you to customise the colour of your gmail notification.
ok. i get the point.
thanks for the responses.
You're not able to change the colour of the incoming call LED, as the colour can only be changed when the screen is off, and when a call comes in, the screen lights up.
Is it a new thing since froyo, that you only get a trackball illumination for notifications other than calls, when the screen is OFF?
I am new to Froyo, like the majority of other Nexus users who do NOT frequent these forums. So I am also new to the coloured trackball and getting my head around it.
I see a few other new froyo newbies reporting their trackball does not illuminate any more since their OTA. But like me, they probably overlooked that apart from phone calls, it seemingly only notifies you when the screen is OFF. Make sense when you think about it, as notification will be in the notification bar with screen on and no need for trackball glow.
Next question.. What is supposed to display if two concurrent notifications occur for different colored events. Just the first color or perhaps a sequence (or even a blend of the two colors - joking)? Seems to me it just displays the most recent item. Is that correct?
A little annoying that the native google apps themselves don't support the colored trackball.
Anyway seems plenty of room for 3rd party apps to improve things. Like occulting different colors at the same time for differing notification sources. Multiple flashes to quantify number of new notifications.
Tried Blink but it did not really fit the bill for me.
So I am currently running with just ChompSMS telling me a unique color for SMS and I am looking for way to improve the rest.
Green is GV. It's controlled by the app.

he means the green color notification is controlled by google voice ... means you have a notification in google voice (GV)
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?
Best Regards,
