App summary

You need a notification light / LED for your Pixel device?

With aodNotify you can easily add a notification light / LED to your Pixel phone!

You can select different notification light styles and show the notification light around the camera cutout, screen edges or even simulate an notification LED light dot in the statusbar of your Pixel device!

As the notification light is integrated in Pixel's Always On Display it has minimal battery consumption and doesn't drain your battery like other apps which keep your phone awake!

If you don't need the Always On Display, the app can also activate the Always On Display (AOD) only on notifications or show the notification LED light even without the Always On Display!

With the notification preview feature you can directly see if you have important notifications without waking your Pixel!

Had to switch LED notification apps when Android 15 released because the app I had been using for years stopped working. I didn't even know this app existed. This app is working great with Android 15 on my Pixel 9. You do have to give it accessibility access which comes with a bunch of scary warnings about the app viewing all of your content but apparently it doesn't collect or send any data.

Great app! Works great on my stock P6. I've installed it on my rooted P7P and I can't get the light into a circle around the camera hole. I got the bottom around the camera, but then 2 vertical lines straight up to the top. No matter how I adjusted it will not circle around. Oh and on A15 with latest Nov security. Ok I had to install and uninstall at least 3 times and then it turned into a circle 👍 Works great now! Thank you for creating this great utility. It really helps.

Definitely worth the 5 bucks. I would make one change, set it up so you can choose both a color and animation style to each type of notification instead of the animation being a global setting. For example, if I could set it so charging was a blue pulse, but fully charged was solid green, I could use a green pulse for something else. Hopefully this can be implemented in a future release.
