This was default android functionality a few years ago wasn't it? I remember having the "notification dot" or whatever it was called that would light in a different colour depending on the notification.

    I think the ability to have an always-on display somewhat negated the need for a notification LED. It did for me, at least.

    Yes, but then manufacturers switched back to LCD screens for cost purposes but the notification LED remained conspicuously absent.

    Textra can still flash your LED (if you have one) in custom colors depending on which contact just texted you.

    I miss the RGB notification light. I use AOD now, but I'd much rather have the little light back.I haven't seen a phone with one of those in a very, very long time.

    A few years ago? I had this on my Android phone almost two decades ago. :D
