You can go to Light Manager and click "Add an application" to add instagram into the notification list. If it does not work in normal mode, please try with alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You mean by just turning on the screen and then off (Without unlock and lock the lockscreen), the LED notification will show? If the screen never turn on when the notification arrived, LED notification will not show (which is a bug in LG's KK ROM)?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Digdis:
Well, checked again, and this isn't consistent. Sometimes the LED is shown after screen off and on, sometimes only after unlock and lock, and sometimes it isn't shown at all. This feature is really nice to have, but it probably won't resolve the problems in my ROM. Thanks for considering it though.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
What operating mode are you using? If you are using alternating mode, try go into Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Smoothness and adjust it to 100% see if it helps?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Digdis:
Nope - same thing. It's just due to this buggy LG ROM I guess.

Thanks for trying to help.

On my Nexus 5, the charge led isn't working, Anything I can do to solve this?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] joksik:
confirm but i have another strange issue with Nexus 5 on Android 5.0. Colors for notification works ~2 day and now for all notofication i have ony white color :/ i restart phone few times, i clean cache for Light Manager i uninstall and install again and still i have only white color but when i do option "test" i have all colors (red, green, yellow) any clue what is wrong?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Charging LED not working for you too? When you get a missed call, it is showing white color LED as well?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] joksik:
yes all options with charging was not working at all for me (dont show while charing, dont show after full charging - 100%) and i have for all notification only white color. i use nexus 5 for few days its my new phone so when i buy it i have update immediately to android 5.0 and i cant tell you that this charging options was work before on 4.4 but on 5.0 is not working

today i do wipe and i install light manager again (first app that i install). and charing options dont work again but colors back ;) i have hope that they will be work now all time. if i have again white color after few days of use i will contant with you immediately

Hi mckoo,

i'm using light manager pro in nexus 5, however i found out that the notification light during charging with static led 8s , off 2s(option 2),

anyway to make it static during charging ? Like those custom rom, i saw it is possible for it to be stay static during charging.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Those custom ROM are accessing the notification LED directly with root, while Light Manager is accessing notification LED through Google API without root. As what I have tested previously with the help of some Nexus users, option 2 is the best setting to make LED stay static.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nsg86:
Can have another option for root user? Just a suggestion though, nice app overall ! Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Updated to v6.6

- Fixed Hangouts and Email app blank notification on Android 5.0

- Fixed Gmail 5.0 compatibility

- Fixed Messenger app compatibility

- Fixed calendar notification LED not working on certain devices

- Split configurable non-primary tab of Gmail

- Allow Messenger system app in application list

- Fixed bug where sleeping time while charging not working when battery charging LED is disabled

- Change application name of Verizon Messages to Message+

- Added some missing translation for German, Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, Hebrew, Polish, Arabic, Finnish, Romanian

- Added Latvian

I have fixed some compatibility issue on Lollipop in this release. However there are still some issues which I might need more time to fix and test. In Lollipop, there will be 3 modes:

1) All

2) Priority

3) None

As what I have tested, no LED notification can be turned on in "None" mode. For "Priority" mode, you will have to go into Settings > Sound & notitfication > App notifications > Light Manager > Priority and enable it in order for Light Manager to work. For "All" mode, Light Manager should work as usual.

About the Gmail 5.0 compatibility, if you are using IMAP or POP email account in Gmail, you will have to enable Notification Access. If you are using normal mode, you might need to enable Light Manager > Gmail > Allow Recreate Notification to get rid of the default system LED notification. Else you may consider switching to alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] joksik:
Today i install new version 6.6 and i add app to notification list (game: shake & fidget) and again i have only white color (in settings i select yellow for this game) but for sms, missing calls another colours work. so probably is something wrong with adding our apps to the notification list
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
What is the flashing frequency of the white color LED?

Is there any LED notification setting in that game? If yes, try disable it so that Light Manager can take control. Else you may consider changing to alternating mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mirujack41:
does this application support breathing?

after installing this light manager as it replaced my stock notification control

my battery charging breathing light no longer available
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Mitha88:
Note 4 Support?

This app is arguably one of my favourite apps of all time. I used on my galaxy S4 since day one without a single problem!

I only recently bought the Note 4 and was wondering if there will be any updates to support this phone? If it's any help, I can change and test the LED's successfully under the app - it's just that the settings won't stick :crying:

P.s. I didn't even know it was someone from the XDA forums that developed the app. I just google-d it out of curiosity and found this thread lol I'd happily pay for the privilege, like I said - one of the most useful apps ever :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Light Manager does not have breathing setting.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Settings won't stick? Are you using stock ROM and stock kernel? Are you phone rooted?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Mitha88:
Absolutely. Stock ROM, Stock Kernel. I have only just rooted but I can confirm that this was also the case prior to rooting :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Ok, all the settings are saved into cache. Did you install any cache clearing app?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Mitha88:
No cache clearing app either :angel:

All that happens is that regardless of what settings I pick in the app, the default phone settings will also be the active ones. I have even set the app to run on boot via the options and also "reset the app to apply settings".

Just to reiterate, the phone is a close to stock as it can be (with the exemption of root). When I test them in the app settings they work fine (i.e click the test button and the screen off). What I have noticed is that when I test, the red colour setting will always blink for a split second first and then it will blink my chosen colour (under any testing within the app). It will never immediately blink the chosen test colour first. I hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

I will try and do some more testing (i.e. uninstall and reinstall etc.) and will let you know if this fixes anything.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Maybe I misunderstood your problem? Settings won't stick that you meant is the LED color that you chose in Light Manager does not override the default phone LED settings? Try switching the alternating mode where Light Manager will fully take over control of the notification LED and see if it works?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Mitha88:
Yes almost correct! It would override some and not others. For example, SMS or Whatsapp would stay the default colour and speed not matter what I do.

Yet, gmail and snapchat would work perfectly with my LED light manager settings.

I have changed the mode to alternating as suggested and will see how this works out :fingers-crossed:

(p.s. so am I correct in thinking alternating mode takes over FULL control of all led functions on the phone?)

EDIT:: I just noticed a few things in the FAQ section regarding how to make sure the LED works for whatsapp and other third party apps! I set all relevant apps to the settings suggested. Lets just hope alternating mode fixes/overrides the SMS stock LED setting.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] batman268:
great!thank you
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Yes, alternating mode will try its best to take over FULL control of all led functions on the phone. While normal mode will only take partial control and Light Manager will not override whatsapp's own LED light unless you disable it in their app's setting.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] neggnegg:
After Lollipop, the blinking sequence in alternating mode became a little strange here on my Nexus5. I have an Interval of Change of 2 seconds, Smoothness to 15%. Now when two notifications are there, it starts with the last one that came in, for ca. 5 seconds, changes to the other for a few seconds (but much more than 2), then again the first, stays there for 15-20 seconds and eventually changes to the other one again...totally erratic and random, it seems. Sometimes it gets stuck in one of the notifications.

I restored a backup from before-lollipop, do you think it makes sense to reset everything and start configuration from new?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
This is a Light Manager bug in Lollipop which I am going to fix it on next release. There won't be any difference by restoring backup or start a new configuration if you are using Lollipop.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SportingChap:
Just noticed an issue with the Sony Xperia Z3. Normally, everything related to Light Manager functions flawlessly. But I've found that if I am charging the phone via USB data cable (that is, plugged in to my computer in either "charge only" or "MTP" mode), the LED blink setting is not stopped when the notification is cancelled out.

Actually, now that I think about it, it could be an incompatibility with the Pushbullet extension in Chrome. When I "dismiss" a notification from the Chrome desktop extension, it should cancel out the notification on the phone. And it does as far as the status bar icon goes. But it does not reset the LED notification, which Light Manager handles. After that, even unlocking the phone (which I have set to cancel out LED blinking in LM) and launching the app do not cancel out the LED.

Is there anything that can be done about this? Any logs I can generate for you to help? Thanks!

Edit: Dismissing a notification via Pushbullet extension works as it should when the phone is not plugged in and charging. The issue only seems to happen when it's connected via USB / charging.

Edit 2: Issue also occurs when regular charging (via magnetic port) and not USB / data.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Are you using the official release of Touchwiz on Lollipop? They only allow system apps to be added as priority interruption?

Could you check if you have the setting in Settings > Sound & notification > App notifications > Light Manager > Priority? Then enable it to add light manager as priority interruption.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
What operating mode are you using? Both normal mode and alternating mode also having the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SportingChap:
I've been using alternating mode for so long, I forget there's another option. :P

I can try it on normal mode and see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zebulon:
Hello,

should it be possible to add an option for limited the elapsed time of flashing light ?

For example, limited the flash to 1 minute ? etc...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
This function only applicable in alternating mode. You can set it in Light Manager > Advance Settings > Auto Cancel Per Notification. But the minimum elapsed time of flashing light is 5 minutes.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zebulon:
Ha ok, thank you, I am gonna see this shortly.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] unixhead:
Great app, thank you!

Is there interference from the silent/vibrate modes from things like Go Switch widget? I set the phone to vibrate-only overnight but it seems to then override the LED settings I've made in Light Manager and revert to system defaults. Specifically it's the charging/charged LED notification that I'm trying to set for docking it overnight. This is on an xperia Z3 compact.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
When your device is NOT in vibration mode, charging/charged LED notification for Light Manager is working?

Are you using Lollipop? If yes, you might need to enable Priority Mode for Light Manager.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] unixhead:
I have done a bit more testing and I think it's related to me using daydream mode rather than the vibration settings, when charging without daydream active the notifications from Light Manager are fine. There is an open issue on google code relating to LED notifications in daydream mode so perhaps it does something unusual. Issue 41029 (I can't post links yet).

Am on stock kitkat at the moment but Lollipop is apparently coming early 2015 for these phones.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zebulon:
Sorry, but it does not seem to work normally.

This morning, the led flashed in green while the battery was entierly loaded for a while.

Maybe that I do not make the good configuration ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
For most of the devices, notification LED cannot be turned on while screen is on, that's why when daydream is on, notification LED will not show.

I think this is how the manufacturer design the phone instead of bug.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] superchandan007:
Can v set led notification settings in this app n uninstall???

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Digdis:
I have just upgraded my L7 II device to CM11 from the KK stock ROM, in which the LED didn't work well at all. LM now works great in this ROM, and I would like to specify again how I love this app. Great work!

I only have one issue with LM now: When receiving an SMS, the LED blinks OK, but when clearing the SMS (not just the notification, but also when going the SMS app itself and reading the message), the LED still keeps blinking. Only way to stop it from blinking is to go to LM settings, disable LED for SMS and then re-enable it. This is of course not the way to go.

Now, my guess is that it is something that's related to how KK works with messaging apps. I use PSB as my default messaging app, but it uses the native AOSP code for handling messages. How does LM determine that a message is cleared?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Cannot. Background process of Light Manager has to be running always.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Are you battery charged and battery charging notification LED disabled in Light Manager?

Currently there is a bug with these configuration and it will cause LED remain blinking even after notification has been canceled.

It will be fixed on the next release.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zebulon:
With the mode "Alternance", I configured so that the led flashes only during 5 minutes, but, for example, for the battery charged it flashes all night long and never stop.

I have to specify that I use Battery Doctor in case that could have an impact ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Digdis:
Both these battery charging indications are disabled (only low battery indication is enabled, but I never got to a low battery condition).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
For battery charged LED, it will keep polling from time to time even after it has been cancelled off after 5 minutes.

If you don't want the battery charged LED to light up at night, you should set the sleeping time in Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Enable Sleeping Time > While charged & while charging.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zebulon:
Ok, thank's...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Updated to v7.1

- Fixed crash on Android 5.0 for Light Manager Pro version

Updated to v7.0

- Compiled and fixed compatibility on Android 5.0

- Added Screen Mode (BETA) for devices without notification LED

- Fixed LED remain blinking when battery charging or battery charged notification LED are disabled

- Fixed messenger notification LED not working in Android 4.1.2

- Fixed alternating mode not smooth in Android 5.0

- Fixed calendar notification LED not working on first notification after reboot on Android 4.4.x

- Fixed Hebrew language not showing

- Fixed chomp SMS not working when show ticker is disabled

- Allow Exchange system app in application list

- Show enable notification access banner

- Added some missing translation for Arabic, Dutch, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Romanian

- Added Lithuanian

A new operating mode called "Screen Mode" is being introduced in this version.

This is an on-screen notification alert for those devices that do not have a physical notification LED. You may use this mode as well even if your device has a notification LED. Note that you need to enable notification access for this mode to work, so it only supports Android 4.3 and onwards.

As you can expect, this will drain more battery as compared to normal mode or alternating mode since the screen and processor are always on.

When there is no on-screen notification alert, screen and processor will be off until a new notification alert arrives. So remember to clear up the on-screen notification alert as fast as possible to save battery life.

For now, it has been hardcoded to 30 minutes timeout for on-screen notification alert. I will make this timeout configurable on the next version.

You are welcomed to play around with this mode and post your comments and suggestions. ;)

Don't worry, my bad. The 7.1 update is pro only
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] banesi:
hi, thank you for this nice application

trying to find best settings for Nexus 5, I get some mixed results switching between alternate and standard, as well as trying option 2, if anyone here have some good combination please post.

I have observed quite heavy memory usage though, it uses more than 100MB of RAM on occasions, is this normal?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
What is not working well for you?

100MB of RAM looks abnormal. Try restart your device and I guess RAM usage will drop.

Anyway I will look into the problem.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Tommy Gunn:
love the app; need some help, please

hi - happy to have a line to the dev on this one. running CM11 on a Huawei U-8665 (Fusion 2) and it's running great. Used Light Flow for years (pre-root/Android 2.6.x). Worked great, but caused some weird issues once I went to CM11. Light Manager 7.0 has been great with a couple weird quirks that I was hoping you could help me with. For background, Light Manager is handling the following LED notifications:

Android SMS/MMS

WhatsApp

Yahoo mail

Gmail

Missed Phone calls

Voice mail

All battery notifications

(Calendar reminders is disabled)

1) I use Calendar Snooze 2.14 to manage my Google Calendar reminders. This is a fantastic app providing heaps of flexibility. I've followed every single bit of directions provided but cannot get it to flash the LED. The app has been added in LM7, but when it fires, no LED triggers (the sound and vibrate works, but not LED). If you could please help me get this, I'd really appreciate it (I'm missing meetings because I'm so damn dependent on LED lights now, yikes)

2) I have it set to "Alternating" mode and with a 3 second interval (Advanced screen). It seems to work intermittently...sometimes it works and other times it causes my 'droid to lock up. obv, the latter is very problematic. any thoughts on how to deal with this?

3) finally, and this is a small nit, but i have a custom LED set up for text that come from my g/f. this also works intermittently. sometimes it's the custom color, other times it's the color for general texts.

My main hope is to resolve the Calendar Snooze LED pulse. The other two are more for your logs, but any ideas on how to troubleshoot them appreciated.

Oh, one final thing. I cannot get the native CM11 custom LED pulse to work (have tried and tried and tried...dunno). This is why I need something like LM7.

Thank you!!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
1) Did you wake the device when you get a reminder? Also did you enable the "Cancel LED After Unlock"?

2) What do you mean by lock up? Hang? Freeze?

3) I will look into this problem.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Tommy Gunn:
Happy new year and thank you for the reply!

1) No, I do not want those features so did not enable either. Calendar Snooze nor Calendar reminders have LED enabled. In looking through the docs for the app, I was under the impression this is what is required for LM7 to pull the notifications for LED. If you have access to Calendar Snooze, maybe you could give it a look and tell me what setting(s) I must have to work with LM7. Or, maybe you could tell me what specific features - relative to calendar notifications in general - I should make to sure enable/disable. Alternatively, If there are any calendar reminder apps that you know work with LM7, please let me know and I'll give them a try. The options provided by Google are shyte.

2) The LEDs flash at a very fast rate (faster than the fastest setting of LM7) and when I hit the power button to wake up the device, it either hangs (for a very, very long time) or doesn't wake at all. Often, the soft buttons light up, but nothing more than that. It's very intermittent and I'd be happy to document more specific things if you tell me what can help you.

3) Thanks. Again, this is a very low-priority matter and only fails very infrequently.

Again, thanks for the help.

UPDATE - uninstalled Calendar Snooze & Key; rebooted and re-installed both and it's working fine now. Added the app in LM7 and have LED notification set in Calendar Snooze (which I did before, but it didn't catch it for some reason).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
So the issue #1 has solved after you uninstall and reinstall Calendar Snooze?

The issue #2 looks new to me, but since you are using custom ROM, I am suspecting maybe the issue is from the ROM or the compatibility of Light Manager on the custom ROM.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] banesi:
just a minor thing:

when you receive a call and swipe reject while you are still under lock screen, led stay on until you actually unlock phone.

regarding memory issue, still very high ~ 70-100MB even after reboots, stock lolipop, v5.0.1, nexus 5

Now it's again ~10MB, will try to troubleshoot more and post back...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mastroalex:
Hi, I've got an LG G2 with stock 4.4.2 Kitkat.

"Cancel LED after Unlock" doesn't seem to work. I've already searched the topic, but I couldn't easily found info about my smartphone.

My phone doesn't lock, I just turn screen on, when I turn it off led still blinks.

Light Manager is set up in alternate mode.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
"Cancel LED after Unlock" only works if your phone has lockscreen. If your phone does not lock, there will not be any unlock action.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] FlemishDroid:
Great app but I have 1 problem when I receive a message the led stay on even when I select led off when screen is on. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) with Lollipop 5.0
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mckoo:
What messaging app are you using? The feature is LED off when screen is unlock, not when screen is on. Do you have a lockscreen?
