For some reason the notification LED doesn't function on my XL2. I installed LED Blinker Pro and it works like a charm. Just thought I would share incase anyone else is having this issue.

Settings, apps and notifications, notifications, blink light. It's off by default.
Now go get lightflow and go nuts.

Have you used light manager? And if so which do you like better. Im using Light Manager but that app you showed looks more polished.
Also have you noticed this time around the phone has trouble making some colors. Like yellow looks kinda yellow/green and white is kinda blue/white

Light Flow works. But it seems that the built-in notification light triggers first overriding Light Flow. For example, if I get a text message (fast blue blinking light set in Light Flow), I get the slow, white stock notification. If I unlock and then immediately re-lock the phone Light Flow kicks in with the set blink/color settings. I've tried to disable the stock light notification, but if I do Light Flow won't work at all.
So is this just a software issue that could be addressed by Google in the future?

My 6p was the same way when I first got it.... But once they built in led notification into the settings of the roms I then got more cookies and very crisp distinct colors too..... Im sure the custom roms and kernel will fix this and the OLED panel color issues
Light Flow works perfectly for me.
Enable the light in system settings.
Disable it when there is an option in specific apps.
Make sure it has the right permissions.

I installed the New Pixel 2 XL Launcher on my OG Pixel XL. My light stopped after installing, so I had to go to the launcher settings (long press blank area on home screen, Home settings, Notification Dots, Blink Light) and turn on the light in there to get it going again.
Yep, that's how you get the LED to work. It's really wonky and idk why they buried the setting in that spot.
Right? I found it by accident, and wondered how many people will never find this setting.
If we ever meet in person, beer and a shot are on me!
I've been looking for that for about 2 days now....
