Blue Notification Light

[Ca_lvn]

See my updated message.

Just did a test LED turns off as soon as the screen comes on, but whatever app it is had a notification number for me ,plus separate sounds to identify that app

Don't remember if the light stayed on with any of my other phones

Hey All!

My notification light is almost constantly blinking blue however I don't have any notifications in the pull down shade. I'm trying to figure out what app is causing this but can't seem to so far.

It's not a text, email notifications are off, I don't have FB/Twitter/IG installed. I also went through my app drawer and looked for the notification dot and there wasn't one on any of the apps.

Is there a way to see a list of apps that flash the notification light or another way of figuring out what's causing this?

I don't have Light Flow or Light Manager installed so it's not a bug with those. I did install Light Manager to see if it could give me some insight but it didn't. Light Manager assigns a blue light to calendar notifications but I have those turned off and for giggles I turned off all notifications that were showing active in Light Manager and the blue light still flashed. I then uninstalled Light Manager since I don't have a need for it.

Any help would be much appreciated! The only thing I know to do at this point is to turn off the LED notification light altogether. I guess that's not an awful solution but I'd rather figure out which app is causing the issue if I can.

Go to *Settings, then pick *Apps & Notifications, then select *Notifications and in there you disable *Blink Light (×/√) if you don't want that feature. I hope this solves what I think you asked

Just an FYI LIght Manager is working great. I increased the blink time since Google's default was too slow. Selecting colors for apps works perfectly. Also like the stock light, it does not work when the screen is on, which is fine.

The notification light was the one thing I missed when I had an iPhone. it makes me feel important... LMAO

Finally figured it out! The light started blinking again today so I just went through every single app in setting and started blocking notifications until it went away. Turns out it was Next SMS. I used Next on my Nexus 6P but decided to try out the standard messaging app on my Pixel. I still installed Next SMS but I didn't set it up. Not sure why it was blinking the light thought...maybe a bug or something? It's not like it would blink when a text would come in. It would just randomly start blinking for no reason. But I uninstalled since I'm liking the default app and now I'm good to go!

Thank you, this has been driving me mad for months! I think it was possibly that we weren't using it so the notification was that it wasn't the default text message app.
