P9 Plus notification led doesn't work on 3rd party apps? - Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers

Hey
Tried doing a search for this but no luck. Does the notification led only flash for the stock apps if you have a notification, so texts, emails, calls only? If I get a notification from texts, emails etc the light flashes when the screen is off, but if the notification is from a 3rd party app it doesn't light or flash at all.... is that right?
Thanks for the help.

Dear TQ1TQ1,
I googled around and found this article: http://www.techlicious.com/tip/android-led-notification-light-customization-and-control-apps/
Maybe you can check out the mentioned apps?
Sorry, never really notice the notification lights as I am using smart cover (the whole screen always covered by the cover).
Do tell us your findings if the apps work for you.
Regards,

Thank you for the tips and suggesting those apps.... I have checked them out but if anyone else has definitive answer as to whether the P9 Plus blinks the LED for 3rd party apps without extra software (like most other Android handsets do) it would be good to know.....

I use textra for SMS and it can use LED ok.

Yep, LED works fine with Messenger, Textra, WhatsApp, Gmail, Nine, and any other app that pushes LED notifications. Stock P9 Plus.
Check Settings | Notification panel & status bar | Notification manager | (app) | Allow notifications
And also check within the app itself for LED notification.

Light flow, play store

[APP] Missed Reminder

This will cause missed phone calls, VM's, and text's to blink the LED forever until you address them/clear the reminder.
This app has been removed from the Android Market
This app is critical to the Epic for anyone who relies on the notification LED
Per the author, the app is now Open Source
As a result, I'm attaching the last version of the app I have which is 0.9.6.
Here is also a link on how to properly configure the app.
How to configure
Please say thanks to Isira for figuring this out.
when i enable reminders for Gmail, the app force closes. any ideas?
[bounty] to fix Missed Reminder to work with current OS and apps
If someone can fix this, I will definitely donate to the DEV. I need some kind of persistent nag until a message is acknowledged for email, sms, and missed phone calls. It should also work with BLN (backlight notification) and LED notifications. I am sure many other people need this functionality.
I personally pledge ($10)

Notifications?

I use my phone for Calendar and meeting events, etc
I had a Palm years ago and a Nokia communicator that would Notify of an evet or Voicemail and keep chiming until acknowledged.
How do I get something like this on the Note? If I am not next to the phone and hear the whistle or check it, I don't know if anything triggered?
Noled will show a fake notification light which works well for me. It also has a vibrate every x minutes function that I'm not sure is working for me. I tried vibrate notify but I had problems.
It might be conflicting with smart vibrator. Not sure.
Still looking for a working vibrate reminder.

I too use my android devices for events, tasks, project planning and such and it is so much better than the Palm was or will ever be!
As for the app I recommend using: pocket informant. It works great with toodledo and google calendar (and also gtasks, but I don't use that).
*see below for answer @ question.

You might want to use: Missed message flasher free. It has the option to light up the screen, use the notification lights and vibrate with:
- calendar, email, gmail, go sms pro, g+, gtalk, gvoice, k9mail, missed calls, skype, sms & mms, whatsapp and if the phone is set into silent mode, you can also choose to disable the vibrate option. Also in the donate version you can choose the option 'other apps'.
I use it with pocket informant and maildroid (free version) and it works absolutely great!

Its fine. The nature of amoled is that only the lit portion of the screen drains battery. It's pretty minimal. Give it a try.

Missed call are supported but I don't know what VM's are. If it's a messaging type of thing that is than also support I guess.
I think the program just uses the notification bar as a source to act because pocket informant isn't in the list and it does still reacts when a reminder is sent to me via the program itself.

Notifications repeating reminder

Ive had my HTC one for a week or so now and am loving it, there is one thing that this phone cant seem to do and that is repeat a missed call, sms or third party (such as whatsapp) notification. My previous device, a GS2 could do this with apps such a NoLed, Reminder Pro, light flow.
I know we have the notification LED but it is no help when the phone is in your pocket or in another room, what I like is a reminder tone and a buzz set to repeat every 5 minutes or so.
So ive tried many apps whos purpose is to do this and none of them seem to work, Light flow is the most succesful so far but it has a flaw in that it will set the led flashing green continuosly untill you reboot the phone (thats with led disabled within lightflow as it is not suported on HTCs without root)
Reminder Pro just does not do anything, In NoLed the sound and vibrate do not work but the screen flash does.
I have tried a couple of others such as Missed Call Reminder , Missed call/sms alert and Easy Reminder, none of which work with the HTC one
So my question here is has anyone descovered an app that works to give a repeat vibrate and tone for missed notifications of calls sms etc.

Junior, I use your Smart Notify. It's very good but it doesn't notify Whatsapp messeges.
Hi, you must select in Settings/Popup window, then Other applications, enable Accessibility (first item), and then check item WhatsApp

Notification Issues (MLB At Bat & CNN)

Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

TextSecure notification using the Pebble app only?

Hi,
given the new notification options in the native Pebble app, I wanted to get rid of 3rd party notification apps using the native notifications instead. While going through the list, I realized that I can enable notifications for all Android apps except of TextSecure. Does anyone else noticed that? Is there a workaround? TextSecure notifications were working, using "Rich notifications for Pebble" for example!?
Thanks,
Tobi

Hi Tobi,
I can't enable notifications for TextSecure, too. And it isn't possible for TitaniumBackup, SMS/MMS and "SMS Backup & Restore" as well. Maybe the feature is disabled for apps that can gain full SMS access, since SMS are accessed directly by the pebble app? (Strange that it is different for Hangouts, though.)
Hi,
I've been in contact with the pebble guys, will keep you updated when they answer..
UPDATE: For the moment, you have to disable the check for SMS notifaction in the pebble options and activate each SMS app seperately.
