Yes it is normal..
The led diode is placed a little bit deeper inside the front panel. In comparison to the 1st generation moto G.
Which has a different setup..

Love what I've read about this phone except for the crappy camera, small battery, and no external SD support. If it doesn't have a notification led I think I'm going with the GS5 as my current GS3 has treated me well for the last 2+ years. Anyone?
No. And maybe you should try something beside a Galaxy. You won't believe how fast and smooth stock Android is and when a phone isn't made of entirely cheap plastic.

Why would you want a notification led instead of moto display?

With the Moto X you can do that and actually see from which app the notification is without touching it. And with just touching the screen one time, you can read the notification.

So from across the room or even a few feet away looking over (no hand wave over it or anything) at the moto x I can tell if I have notification(s)?
What I like about my GS3 is the color of the led tells me which app the notification is for and I can see it from across the room.
The active display will blink the icon of whatever app has a notification on the screen. It's not color coded like a normal led and you may have trouble seeing the icon from across the room. However, you can just say "OK Google: What's Up?" and the phone will say the time and read any active notification/text messages. (Incredibly useful while driving.)
It will probably have a hidden led like the original X, just hope the brightness can be tweaked this time.

But this led can only be used for charging status? Or did someone figure out how to use it for notifications? If yes then I'll go for it.

It's only for a charging led. I think some cm roms have it worked out for a notification light, ONLY when it's plugged in. You lose the moto features with cm based roms tho.
I just went to Verizon and held the one m8 and old moto x. I'm not a fan of the feel of the m8 and the notification led is so small that it's pretty much useless. But I like that I can flash a pure android ROM (gpe) and it has other good specs.
I love how the old x feels, it's perfect. It sucks that Motorola is making it bigger as the smaller size would have been a big selling point for me.
Tough to decide between the two, or even the gs5.
2014 moto x does have a notification light
And it works for more than just charging
you can just yell, ok google now, news? and the moto x will tell you each notification you have without touch it.
It doesn't tell you everything but it tells you missed notifications

Maybe go look in the 2014 moto x thread and see what those who have one say. Besides you can see it in YouTube reviews
Have seen at least seven or eight YouTube hands on videos, none mentioned anything about a notification light. Will check the new X topic.
Notification LEDs are irritating to me and useless because they don't tell you if the notification is worth your time or not, so you just turn on the phone for nothing a lot. Active Display/Moto Display is pretty damn intuitive.

Well after using the X for two and a half months now I will have to disagree with you
I also at first really liked the Active display, still do, but I would take back the old LED notifications. I just hate to wait some 6 seconds for the notifications to appear on the screen. Also you will have to to look at the display from straight on, with LED notifications you can see it from most angle (not the hTC M series like stupid ultra tiny dot one!), and you can set the colour, so that's damn easy, for me.

Hello.
Just received brand new Moto G 2014 5" version and comparing the screen colors to Moto G 2013 4,5" version, makes me quite depressing. I noticed, that 2014 model screen is noticeable darker and yellow compared the 2013 model screen, which is bright and blue, I just can't believe that 294 (2014) vs 326 (2013) ppi pixel density is so visible?
My first opinion was, that screen is definitely faulty, as I also noticed such difference once before, when my 2013 model was replaced - screen of the new one was much more brighter.
However, if all 2014 version screens are so dark, then we need a fix ASAP, as right now display brightness in auto mode is too low , it's difficult to use the phone in normal daylight, only manual brightness editing helps, but this is workaround which uses more battery.
I did sent same description also to Motorola forum, hoping that Motorola engineers puttting Moto G 2013 and Moto G 2014 model side by side, compare screens brightness in auto mode, and edit the firmware and publish it.
Right now I ordered a replacement as I just can't believe what I saw.

Update your device to latest Build version KXB21.85.23 size is around 120 MB
1. Touch issues solved
2. Auto-brightness issues solved.
3. Added Google Now Launcher​
The color temperature on 2014 model is warmer (shifted towards < 6500K) as compared to 2013 model (shifted towards >7500K). Its perfectly okay. And regarding display pixel density its quite obvious that the clarity is not that great as compared to 2013 model.

The update is already installed, but I don't see improvement. I can live with less colorful screen, but I can't live with much darker screen - http://www.upload.ee/image/4293011/DSC_0760-1.jpg
I think Motorola should adjust 2014 model screen brightness to same level as 2013 have. Or add option to adjust screen color ourselves, like some Xperia models have.
I never use auto brightness so I don't know about that, but my screen isn't dark at all
White balance is better with new moto g. I use both and with original moto g the white ballance is way to blue. I also have some backlight bleeding issues with original one. Autobrightness is set too low on the new moto g 2nd, especially in low light environments, but if you manually boost brightness, it is bright as hell.
Does the Moto X 2014 have a notification light? If so it doesnt work with Light Flow. Anyone know why?

The Moto X 2014 does not have a notification light. That's why it has Active Display instead.

Ok then ill uninstall light flow
There actually is a green LED beneath the speaker at the top of the phone but its only used for battery related stuff. I contacted the dev about this yesterday, he said it would probably need root to work for notifications, though.

Which works very well BTW. You'll probably see a little more hit on the battery, but active display reportably uses more battery.

I wish we had an AMOLED display because this app allows you to have the background completely black so that way it would save some battery when it's on.
It has some quirks, like when playing music it would not respond fast enough when turning the screen on, or when a notification arrives, the LED will work only when the screen is on, but when it turns off, the LED would stop working too.
All in all is a great app, and it's free.

Got the same thing, just at the lower center part. But it is only visible under certain circumstances. Not a big deal for me tough.
