If you do not have an LED light on your mobile, there is a way to use the front flash for notifications and, in this way, know when a message has been sent to you or an event has occurred in some other application.
Not all versions of Android have this essential element, therefore, they are forced to turn on the screen to certify the status of social networks, downloads, among others.
However, by having a front flash, you can find a way for it to notify you or notify you of the arrival of new messages on your mobile, all this thanks to an incredible app.
Flash notification, the solution to your notification problem
The most efficient way to use the front flash for notifications is through third-party applications designed to configure this element in this way. There are many in the Play Store with different ratings, but none is as good and better appreciated by users than “Flash Notification“.
This app allows you to customize both the flashing and the applications that will use the flash when an event occurs in them. The masses do not lie and this one maintains a very high valuation with respect to other programs of its nature or that fulfill the same function, guaranteeing stability and good performance when making the expected changes.
How to use the front flash for notifications in the different apps?
When the application is installed, which by the way only weighs a few kb, it will take by default that all applications will activate the front flash when something arrives or happens.
Therefore, the configuration that you can make in this program is exclusionary, that is, through it you will select the apps that you do not want to use the flash.
How do I do it? To do this you must access the application from the menu or the front screen if you have direct access to it. Once inside, you must select the segment that says ” Excluded applications ” that will show a complete list of all the programs that your mobile has.
Some of these will already be excluded by default, so it will be up to you if you want to leave it like that or if, in fact, you want to use the front flash for notifications on it. Likewise, this list will contain on one side of each application a sliding button that, when pressed, will be marked or unmarked as the case may be.
To deactivate all those apps that you do not want to use the flash as a notifier, you simply have to ensure that the circle on the right is towards the left and marked in gray.
However, if for example, you have chosen to remove or disable WhatsApp pop-up notifications, they will not be included in the app. The same is generally true if you disabled all notifications on Android.
On the other hand, if you want to activate the tool to work with a specific program, the slider button must be to the right, and at the same time red.
Of course, it also allows you to unmark or mark all mobile applications, through a switch located in the upper right.
Notification for badges from other apps
One of the most remarkable things about this tool is that it extends beyond the messages of the apps, it can also notify badges.
These are summarized in internal events of the applications, an example of this would be the “likes” of Facebook or comments within Instagram.
It can even notify you of system events on your device, such as a system update or telephony messages.
Blink customization
As if that were not enough, you can not only use the front flash for notifications, you can also customize it, and in many possible ways, the first being the number of blinks per second.
This setting allows you to indicate how many seconds there are between one flash and another. In addition, you can adjust the time the application works. In this way, you can deactivate it during the night and start working again at a specific time, it can be with the alarm clock.
