Flashlight Notifier is a simple application that allows you to use your camera LED as a notification LED! Can be used with ANY application!

I have only been able to test this on a small handful of handsets so if it doesn't work for you don't fret!, give me a small reply in this thread and i will do what i can to get your device supported!

DOWNLOAD!

I've been using flashlight alerts by rdude (another xda member), I'll try yours too!

edit: I get it now, Yours is for Application alerts, not just for calls/messages like the other one.

Correct, in the future i plan to add support for calls specifically(to flash as calls come in), but specific support for other applications will not be pursued as I believe the current system is sufficient.

I am always open to ideas tho! :)

As always, jugs, very nice work!

Thanks :D

Correct, this works of system notifications(anyone that is displayed in the notification bar). So any application with a status bar notification is supported.

Hmm... Looks like it's not working on the LG Doubleplay. Awesome idea btw! thanks for the app.

Sad to hear that, i have a LG Nitro HD and it does work with it. I can try and alter the way the flash is initiated(because it is know to be spotty between devices). When i have something i will send it to you :).

Is it possible or is it already in the donate version, options for setting light intensity so not to be so bright? It would be great to set it on low, so you can see it pulse and not blinding you by flashing at full power intensity.

I have looked into this because yes it can be EXTREMELY bright. I have not found a way to control the brightness yet but i am actively look into this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey,
Testing it and i saw that the memory used in running services is at 47 MB in my case.

Is it necessary to keep the whole app list in memory?

What an awesome idea for notifications!

Suggestion: Time settings. So this thing doesnt wake people up when they get a junk email at 3AM.

This doesnt work on my Galaxy Nexus :( I'd be forever grateful if you add Galaxy Nexus support! :)

Wow i have never noticed this, i will have to determine why, even with the WHOLE list in memory it should not be that high, it is possible if you alternate between show system & not that the memory is not being cleared. Ether way i will fix this because that is quite ridiculous lol.

That is actually my exact next feature to add on my list! As for Galaxy Nexus I do not know if i will be able to or not, but i definitely will work towards it though. I get my GN in some time next week i should know pretty soon after that :). Right now i believe its an issue with ICS but i should get it worked out.

Not working on Nexus S stock ICS

Look at above comment :)

isnt working on my samsung galaxy ace =(

Could you elaborate a little? Is it simply not flashing or some other issue/error?
