ActiveNotifications for Google Android

[Sushubh]

Basically the Moto X functionality.

ActiveNotifications allows you to receive important notifications when your screen is off. When you miss a call or receive a new email/SMS, the display will discreetly light up to let you know, without needing to unlock the device. Most phones only have a pulsing notification LED that doesn't actually tell you anything about the incoming notification - with ActiveNotifications, you can immediately decide if something is important enough to act.

* Notifications don't light up when your phone is in your pocket, purse, or face down to avoid accidental unlocks
* Select which app-notifications you'd like to receive via ActiveNotifications
* "Sleep at night": Don't show notifications at night (Premium feature)
* "More privacy": Hide additional notification details (e.g. SMS text, sender) (Premium feature)
* Automatically switch off screen when dismissing notifications(Premium feature)

I guess this would take a toll on battery life of non AMOLED screen based phones.

Yup. Optimized for Galaxy Nexus type services.

Can cause burn-ins/dead pixels over the long run, right?
And the Play Store says that it is not compatible with my Galaxy Nexus! :O

Strange.

I own the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7.

Custom ROM could be the culprit.

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

Possible. But never had such an issue before.

You're on Android 4.3 right? Coz I suppose this uses the NotificationService (?) present only in 4.3.

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

That's it then. I was on stock 4.3 some days back. Now back to 4.2.2 until LiquidSmooth releases a 4.3 build.
