[APP][6.0+][UPDATED] FrontFlash Notification v1.9.4 (20180217)

[spacejam]

What is this?

Basically by installing this application, as soon as you receive a notification, the front flash of your phone starts blinking as it were a notification LED.
It can be useful to all those (but not only) that have a device without the notification LED, but instead have a flash next to the selfie camera.

It also extends the concept of notification to the unread badges received from the applications (e.g the "Facebook like"). So, when an unread badge occours, in the same way as a "normal" notification the flash starts blinking and you will be notified of what's going on.
Various settings are also available to better configure the application to suit your needs.

It works on all devices equipped with a front flash, regardless of whether or not it has the hardware notification LED.
Tests have been performed on Samsung devices, in particular but not only on the J series.

FrontFlash Notification

Just an update for Exynos chipset based device users... the front flash detection issue is not related to the chipset.
For some strange reasons (don't ask me why), on the new devices series (Exynos of course), Samsung has implemented only partially the Camera2 API for the developers. Hardware level: LIMITED (partial Camera2 support)

This is why at the time been my app can't use the front flash on your device.
In the next few days I'm going to produce a new 1.7 version, where if Camera2 fails the app takes control over the camera and his front flash using the old Android API.
Based on the first tests, fortunatelly this seems to fix the problem.

Keep in touch

This app is GREAT! Only small issue is that it doesn't notify/flash when I receive an e-mail via the Samsung email app.

Hey, can I add this app? (and give you full credits) on my Script that adds a few S8 icons, launcher and I want to add this app as a default too

Hi thanks for your feedback.
I never used and tested the Samsung Email client, I expected it to work properly as per the other apps.
(have you check the Samsung Email app is not enabled in the exclusions list?)

I will look into it in the next days, just let me know your Android version please.

And yes, feel free to share or include this app in your Script, only take care to use the latest store release.

Am I stupid or is it not possible to change the brightness like with the back flash for the flashlight? I feel like I'm being flashed with one of those defense flashlights every time the thing goes off.
