[Q] Notification App [Idea/REQ]

[drew_grant]

I don't know if this idea has been tossed around or not, but obviously there are people out there like me who miss having an LED or trackball flashing for notifications on the Nexus S. Something I thought would be cool is to somehow have the soft keys at the bottom of the phone flash or light up whenever a SMS, MMS, E-Mail etc. comes to the phone. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd like to have something like that for this phone. Hell, I'll even provide a generous donation if it really is possible. If it's been done before, let me know. Thanks all.

I'd really suggest trying to use the search function before making threads, mate, 'cause this is about the fifth time someone has asked that. Yes, there's an app that will do that but it requires a some coding in custom kernel that's unavailable right now. Patience.

In the meantime, I suggest you check out NoLED from the market. That app will use your screen with little colored dots/icons showing what kind of notification you've received. Aside from the colored dots, the rest of your screen will be solid black which on SAMOLED consumes almost no power so the impact on battery life is negligible.

I didn't see anything about this particular subject when the Title brought up the results so I figured it hasn't been talked about yet. Furthermore, I'm not that much of a fan of NoLED when I tried it but maybe I'll give it a second go until something else comes about.
