guys, i didnt get the exact moment when it stopped working and can only speculate about what caused it, but my notification led isnt working any more. nothing triggers it. not whatsapp, not gmail...
is there any way to test it or tune it without relying on third party apps?
im on stock taimen with flash kernel, systemless xposed and gravity box.
thanks!
I dont think it ever has??? Isn't that why we have always on display and dont need notification light?
It definitely works. I use the app Light Flow - LED Control to customize my LED. Maybe try that app with charging light and see if it turns on when charging. Make sure you have blink light turned on in apps and notifications --> notifications --> Blink light.

Ive just noticed my notification LED isnt working, how do i make it work, i have got someone to text me with the screen off, still no led on silent, no led, on vibrate no led. what could be the issue
i had the same problem.
i knew the LED works because it lights up when i get an incoming call. but thats the only time it ever lights up. as soon as the call is missed it goes out, no pulsing light.
i downloaded an app called Light Flow (the free version) and works, as well as giving you much much control on the colour of the light and the different notifications it can be used on
Still cant get missed call led to flash even with light flow
any tips on setup ?
Pulse Notification Option in Settings, Display?? (Android settings that is ;-) )
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yer its ticked, before and after installing light flow and still nothing
Is more settings for light flow im after, if people say it works for missed call ?
My Verizon Galaxy Nexus does not seem to even include a notification light. Although I see and read about a notification bottom middle of the front of the phone. Mine simply does not work at all and never has. Anyone know of this issue and may offer advice? I have downloaded light flow lite and have had no success, also downloaded LED tester apps and it still doesn't work. Please help.
Have you turned on the notification light in settings? Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light
Yes.
Play Store > Light Flow > Your welcome
I have already installed light flow. Still not notification LED ever. I have had test SMS sent over and over with no response from the LED. Pulse notification light set, light flow set ON in accessability. All software is set to turn the LED on, the light itself is just not lighting up..
PLEASE HELP
Is it possible Verizon my only option here?
As a test, download an app called "Galaxy Nexus Led" from the market
Enable it and then plug ur charger and turn ur screen off
I think the Nexus's led only works when the screen is off

Take it to VZW and request a new device for the LED not working. You're not the first person I've seen with the issue, and you probably won't be the last to have the problem either.
I've had the same LED-Error... but i solved it.
At first... I'm shure that your LED is not broken. Cause... it is a LED
Before you read the rest of my message, check if you REALY activate your LED in the PhoneSettings and in any app you've allowed to controll the LED. If you're using LightFlow don't forget to activate it in the "Device-Admin-Settings" of your Phone.
Now try a test...
If your LED is not working ... format your cache and dalvicCache partition ... afterwards, it MUST work.

Tried this and it still didn't work ^^
After disabling notifications for light flow, the status bar icon is gone, but the LED doesnt work normally now. Normally i set to LED shinning colour when plugged in but now after i disabled the notification, the LED doesnt light up anymore. Anybody else having similar problems?
Im guessing its due to the app not being updated for 4.3 yet.
App runs just fine here.

Make sure Accessibility is on in setting. I missed that myself.
That seemed to fix it.

I saw pictures online and have read that this phone does have a LED Notification light. But my brand new Pixel 2 XL I just got from Google yesterday, doesn't seem to work ?
What's it called, like Blink Light something ? I found that in Settings, and it is enabled clicked on. But I don't see it light up when the phone's plugged in charging.
Go in SETTINGS
then APPS and NOTIFICATIONS
then NOTIFICATIONS
then turn on BLINK LIGHT
Yes I have it enabled, but does not light up when plugged in and charging

You'll need a third party app, such as light flow or light manager in order to have LED while charging.

google didn't enable it for charging for some weird reason. just notifications for apps
I use "light manager" and it works great.
I just tested out light manager and it does work great. I chose to try that over light flow as light manager has been updated much more recently and after Oreo came out, whereas light flow is pre-oreo updated. But yeah, it works well so far. Tested out charging lights as well as multiple notification lights - they pulse as set up and use the proper color assigned to them. Pretty nice.
Hi guys,
So this has been driving me nuts.
The notification blink light is turned on in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications. However, I've never seen the LED actually turn on during normal usage. Not during charging, nor when charged, nor when I have any kind of notification active (emails, texts etc etc).
I suspected the actual LED component might be broken, so I downloaded Light Flow and ran some tests. Yes, the LED works and will display in any colour during Light Flow tests. However when I go back to just using the phone normally, nothing. The LED never turns on. I'm on 8.1. Completely stock. No root.
Any clue why this is happening? I'd appreciate any help or ideas whatsoever.
Thanks!
Ben.

My LED works too at least when I test it. However it does not work when enabled. Seems like google disabled it on purpose because of the on screen notifications.

Confirmed... that fixed it. Thanks.
OK, so after doing this, the notification light will blink when i receive an incoming email, text, or call?
