I personally think that the default notification light setting on most phones don’t do the LED light justice. On my Nexus 5, the fact that white is the default colour used for every new notification almost seems to hinder the light’s multicolour capabilities. Thankfully, third-party apps are there to fill this disparity – I prefer using light manager to maximize customization to my liking.
A nifty utility, custom options include being able to change the colour and interval of the light when it flashes for specific apps. That liberty is already a big step above the system default – I can use different profiles for different apps to be able to tell notifications apart by just looking at the light. When there are multiple notifications, there is the option for the light to alternate between your different profiles (in other words, to flash in several different colours) or just have one consistent colour depending on which of those came first.
One of the limitations of this app is the fact that root access is required to manage the profile for the email app and all third-party apps if your phone isn’t running Android 4.3 or 4.4. This might put this app out of reach for many who want full control – otherwise, the functionality of this app is definitely an asset to users who do not fall under that restriction.
Get this app on Google Play and tinker away. 😉
