This seems to be the case. Other widgets do not display the notifications either. Well that sucks, but at least it's not your app :cyclops:

I hope there will be a workaround/fix soon as I'd like to use this app!
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
The notifications service is quite buggy on Android 4.3 , I had to do some very dirty hacks to get it work as it work now on stock roms. I guess this is the reason many roms has other issues with that. I hope Google will address those issues on Android 4.4 ...
[Android Apps and Games] _DX_:
Thanks for the reply. I don't want to be that annoying guy that just keeps on asking; but I noticed widgets like NiLS and Lock Screen Notifications (Playstore link) do not work on my rom, but lock screen replacements do. DynamicNotifications (XDA thread) picks up all the notifications without a glitch. When running NiLS on the homescreen or the regular lockscreen at the same time (or separate, just to make sure there are no conflicts) the notifications do not show up there - only the first one after adding the widget.

Both are enabled under security and accessibility settings, so for me as a noob in android programming it seems that both apps get their information from the same place(?). What could be the difference, and is there something I could/should change for NiLS to work?

I was just wondering, I hope you don't mind me asking.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
I think those apps uses both Notifications Service and Accessibility Services and this is it works. NiLS will never use the accessibility service if you are running android 4.3 even though its enabled and running. I can consider adding an option to choose which service NiLS should use - accessibility service or notifications service.

Can you confirm that those apps (like dynamic notifications) doesn't work for you when accessibility service is disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] _DX_:
I did some testing. First off, Dynamic Notifications works fine with accessibility disabled (notifications service under the security tab enabled off course).

Since I did a full wipe of my phone yesterday I did a clean install of both NiLS and Dynamic Notifications. Both where enabled through notifications service only, not in accessibility settings.

Strange thing is; NiLS worked perfectly as long as Dynamic Notifications was enabled. I tried multiple notifications from different services (texting, whatsapp, gmail) and they all worked. When I turned off Dynamic Notifications, NiLS wasn't working anymore as well. I didn't show any notification. Re-enabling Dynamic Notifications didn't help, neither did reboots with and without Dynamic Notifications enabled. After disabling Dynamic Notifications I couldn't get NiLS to work at all (settings for NiLS weren't changed).

So I uninstalled en re-installed NiLS again with Dynamic Notifications already installed and active, and NiLS worked fine again. I also placed NiLS on the homescreen to see if Dynamic Notifications was needed to trigger NiLS (since Dynamic Notifications turns the screen on when a notifications arrives) but NiLS worked fine on the homescreen. This time I didn't disable Dynamic Notifications before rebooting my device, and NiLS doesn't work again. Not on the homescreen or on the lockscreen.

Long story short:

Dynamic Notifications still works when accessibility service is disabled.

NiLS works when installed with Dynamic Notifications - or while Dynamic Notifications is already running.

NiLS stops working when Dynamic Notifications is disabled (but still installed). Re-enabling does not help.

After a reboot NiLS also stops working (with or without Dynamic Notifications enabled).

Dynamic Notifications does not seem to be necessary to trigger NiLS since when it works, it works on the homescreen as well.

Hope this helps to get some insight... Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, so I can only share my experiences :(
[Android Apps and Games] chowzihao:
I m in same situation with u, hope somebody got solution

using pacman rom
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
It seems that dynamic notifications did something right and somehow this affected nils too. I can try contact dynamic notifications developers to understand what they did. I hope they will help.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Can you send a logcat when disabling dynamic notifications and make nils stop working? It might help figuring out what went wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] chowzihao:
may i know how to get logcat?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
If you rooted use catlog app.
[Android Apps and Games] xeronchan:
thx ! just finding this kind of app!
[Android Apps and Games] chowzihao:
my log

1.installed dynamicnotifications

2.reboot

3.install NiLS and add widget to lockscreen

4.receive notification and work fine

5.disable dynamicnotifications

this time even I disable dynamicnotifications, NiLS still can receive notification

but after I reboot NiLS failed again.

And I find that even no dynamicnotifications, NiLS also can work if i uninstall and reinstall after reboot everytime.

The problem is it cann't receive after reboot.

hope this help

clock freezes randomly

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the clock to freeze randomly on collapsed lock screen? If I go into the NiLS settings and toggle some of the clock settings, it starts to work again. Moreover, during the time the clock is frozen, I still receive notification from other apps so its not that the entire app/process has stopped. Any insight?

Thanks!

Hi, i love your app, is so useful!

However, i searched into thread but i didn't found nothing, and i'm sorry if someone can link my the answer, so:

Is possible auto update a notification?

For exaple if my friend wrote me 5 message on whats, is possible have only 1 bar of whats for the 5 mess?

Because, atm, i've 5 bar, one for notification! :)

Thanks in advance for an answer :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Use "Keep only last notification" option on app specific settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Guich:
Done, keep up this great app ;) :good:

Any way to remove stausbar clock in lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
No. Removing status bar clock uses an api that requires android 4.2 and I don't want to limit nils android 4.2 and above.
[Android Apps and Games] Ba7rani123:
How can I let the lockscreen auto expand when I receive a notifcation ?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
You can't. This is how lock screen widgets work unless you are using a custom ROM that support this (like CM10.1)
[Android Apps and Games] Ba7rani123:
I am using SuperNexus rom on my galaxy s2. Is there a xposed module which could do that ?

Whats the name of the feature in cm 10.1 ?

Thanks :D

Edit: found the feature in Gravity box(xposed module) it works fine but its always maximised, I think that optional feature should be added to auto expand.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinergie:
I would like to hide the statusbar clock on the lockscreen as well, isn't it possible to add this as an option in NiLS?
[Android Apps and Games] ONE!:
Great looking and functional widget! But i have one little isssue with it. When I get a SMS and press on "read" the notification stays in the widget for a long time. But all in all it does what it should do and is a great contribution to my home screen :)

Any solution to this problem? I like to keep the calendar reminder for a while, but it's really annoying that the screen turns on every 3 minutes as a result of that.
[Android Apps and Games] mountainmystic1:
Roymam love this app! I have a couple questions...

1. A while back I saw a post about power amp controls not functioning. Only for the first second they work, then the song title disappears and buttons no longer function. Is there a fix for this?

2. Ive noticed when I "quick reply" a text message (stock messenger) the next message that comes in will flash for a second and then disappear. NiLs may think the message has been read and then 'clears' it. The notification light for the message is also cleared. This also seems to happen if I lock the phone in the messenger app. Under "Advanced" I do not have clear app checked. I do not have force clear checked. I have two way sync selected. Im running 4.3.1 on d2att.

3. I have severe weather notifications set on The Weather Channel app. When a notification comes in I only see the app icon in the lock screen. It will not expand to show more information, even though 'frost warning, etc' is shown in the notification shade. Is there a setting I can use to show this? I have persistent notification size set to max and 'ls expanded and collapsed' set to expandable with 5 lines.

Thanks so much for all your hard work! Everyone I talk to I suggest this app as the FIRST one they install.
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
I have noticed the same and would love to see a 'fix' or workaround if possible, even though it 's probably an Android issue and not a NiLS issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There is a workaround.

Disable auto wake up on NiLS.

Install "Screen Notifications" app fro Google Play.

On Screen Notifications app - blacklist the calendar app.
[Android Apps and Games] Dreiundachzig:
When someone sends a picture with whatsapp nils shows this notification twice. And when I get an email with Gmail nils shows the mail and after deleting it through nils Gmail itself is shown in nils.
[Android Apps and Games] Damo1888:
I seem to be having issues with NiLS and Textra. When I receive a text and have Textra as my default sms app, the screen turns on for 10 seconds, turns off and immediately turns on again. This carries on until I clear the notification. When I disable NiLS from notifying me of a new text, it seems to work as normal.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Android 4.3 NiLS not working

Hi!

i have a Note 2 GT - N7100 (with DN3 4.3 Custom Rom) and trying to make the app work with widget locker.

while i am getting messages etc. all the time , notifications do not appear on screen.

Any help on that ? Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinergie:
:fingers-crossed:

3 things I hope you can add/fix in this app:

Two-way sync is not working with Android 4.4

I would love an option to hide the status bar clock on the lockscreen just like the regular Android lockscreen

A fix for the calendar reminders instead of a cumbersome workaround

Keep up the good work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
1. Works for me with KitKat. Try to stop and restart the service.

2. Cannot be done at the moment , I need to use an 4.2 specific control to be able to do this and still haven't figured out how to do this without limiting the app to Android 4.2 only.

3. What is the problem with calendar reminders? The app turns on the screen whenever new notification arrives, If the calendar keeps recreating the notification - its not a bug. The feature you actually wants is app specific settings for waking the device.
[Android Apps and Games] Nedle:
Good job on the app, got it working reasonably well. I'm having 2 issues though. Using tasker I have programmed my own WhatsApp notifications, which I can click on to open the conversation, dismiss, reply to using a lil pop up window or mark as read. Combining this with this App I can read and reply to all my WhatsApp messages from the lock screen, which is awesome. Two issues though:

- Only 2 buttons show up on the notifications, while there are 3 in the original notification, any way to make 3 buttons show up?

- When 2-way sync is turned on, NiLS actually dismisses the notifications from the notification bar. The custom notifications I have made have a different action when clicked than when they are dismissed. But because NiLS actually dismisses the notification the 'when clicked on' action doesn't happen at all. I understand there is no way to avoid dismissing the notification, but I'd like to have both the click and dismiss actions activated.

I'm using 1-way sync for now and manually removing the notifications myself in tasker. This works fine for the custom notications but obviously won't work for my normal mail/text/phone notifications. Maybe you could possibly let us select the sync method per app aswell? Would solve this issue atleast!
[Android Apps and Games] ahdawn:
the way this app works with whatsapp notifications is very weird.

example if a guy name john send me 3 messages, it appears as :

Whatsapp - John : hi

Whatsapp - John : where are you

Whatsapp - John : wanna meet?

can be it clustered like :

Whatsapp - John : Hi

Where are you

Wanna meet?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There is no way to show more than 2 buttons - its hard coded in NiLS.

Please raise a ticket for App-Specific-Sync option.

Disappointing
[Android Apps and Games] haggod:
I'm noticing the exact same behavior on my Nexus 5: after a reboot everything works as expected for about 2 or 3 hours, after that the widget doesn't display any notifications and the display doesn't get activated anymore. Stopping and restarting the service does not solve the problem.

I'm rooted, otherwise completely stock.

I LOVE how this widget works, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:

[Android Apps and Games] xObey:
Great app, just wish there were more customization such as repositioning elements such as the notifications/clock. Such as spacing them farther apart of moving something up or down to your liking. Also resizing the length and width of the background of the elements would be nice also instead of being forced to make the background as compact as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Nedle:
Not quite sure what was the result of the ticket, is 'sync per-app' coming or not? Might be useful for more than just the problem I am having.

[Android Apps and Games] Rover16:
Hi, this is a great app that I just discovered yesterday. However, I am having an issue where it randomly stops working. I'm using a nexus 5 with kit kat 4.4 with everything stock.

Here's the problem I'm having. I have it set to auto wake the screen when a new notification comes in and when it's working fine, then the screen will wake up and I can see the notification on my lock screen.

However, randomly it will just stop working. A new notification will arrive and my screen won't auto wake, but I can see my led light flashing so I know a new notification came in. I turn on my phone and there's no notification showing on the lockscreen and just have the normal notification icon in the notification bar in the top left. Basically, everything appears as it would if I didn't have the widget installed on the lockscreen. However, I know the widget is still on my lockscreen cause I made the clock bold so I know the nils widget is still running.

Therefore, I know when it will stop working when it doesn't auto wake my screen. When this happens, I test it by sending myself an email from my comp. I can send 10 emails in a row and it will never wake the screen or show the email on the lockscreen. This has happened randomly yesterday and today. It takes a reboot of my phone to fix it. Then it'll work again, until it randomly stops working again and I need to reboot my phone to fix it again.

Anyone else ever experience this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
From this description it seems that the service crashes.

1. Are you rooted? Can you capture a logcat so I could see the crash?

2. Do you use any persistent notification on NiLS? Can you disable it and see if it's help?

3. Are you using another app that works with Notification Listener service ? Can you try to disable it?
[Android Apps and Games] Rover16:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

1. Nope, not rooted. Everything 100% stock, including launcher, etc. I don't know how to capture a logcat when it crashes.

2. I don't have any persistent notifications turned on in the nils settings.

3. The only app I use that has something to do with notification is an app called Notification toggle. If this conflicts with it, it'd be a tough choice since I need some of the stuff in that app. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
I don't think notification toggle conflicts with NiLS - it doesn't require to enable notifications service.

Its really hard to know what is causing those crashes. Can you try to uninstall NiLS, reboot your device and reinstall NiLS. This way we can be sure that it runs on a "clean" environment. Try to not change any settings to make sure it works for at least a day.
[Android Apps and Games] Rover16:
Sure I'll try this. Thanks and I know this is kind of impossible to track down since it's so vague and just crashes randomly.

If I put NiLS on my home screen and tap the notification, it goes to the app just fine. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

I don't get facebook notifications on my Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. Is this expected? (Im not talking about messenger.) I see the Facebook icon in the android notifications at the top of the screen, but nothing ever appears in NiLS
[Android Apps and Games] hoang51:
I just experienced something strange earlier today with NiLS NLS v1.2.7 on my Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2: it suddenly stopped working. I got the normal notification LED blinking and sound, but my screen did not turn on and show on the lock screen the notification. Earlier before it stopped working, it was showing missed text messages. I noticed that the Settings/Accessibility that NiLS was not enabled. I renabled it, still didn't work. So I ended up powering my phone down and turned it back on. Doing so successfully allowed NiLS NLS to work again.

I'm still waiting for Google Play Store to push me the 1.2.9 update. Also, it seems that the first post needs to be updated, such as the title. I'm not sure about the download links to the apk if those needed to be updated as well (didn't try to download).

One minor problem I noticed with NiLS is that a bottom portion of the notification is cut off. It appears that if I were to expand the miss notification on the lock screen, it would reveal the full view.

Update: I just spotted an additional problem. I just added Tasks (Astrid clone) to the persistent notification list so that it can show up on the lock screen. It turns out that if I have a text message notification on the lock screen, it is cut off until I expand the NiLS widget to view them all. I think this isn't a normal behavior when I had missed emails and text, both shows up without cutting each other off.
