They should show up by default but I experience some bugs too I guess Ambient Display is still fresh and needs improvements.

I Google it and found out that same problem have all MIUI smartphones....It is almost one year since ambient display option appeared in MIUI so I don't think they have in mind to change anything about this problem. Many people complain about this but so far nothing is done. Maybe there is some fix but I couldn't find it...

In MIUI 11.0.4.0 9T global android 10 viber notifications on ambient display still doesn't exist. Led notification for viber is on "half power", circle is almost invisible! Led notification for other apps works normal.
Xiaomi hates VIBER or what?!

What if it's the other way round?
From what I've gathered it's the app developer that needs to add AOD functionality in the app.

Lightflow makes screen on 6P randomly show notifs when just sitting there???

Anyone else have issues with Lightflow making the phone screen turn on randomly when sitting on a table? The colors for the notifications are correct, but becausue of the screen coming on alot randomly this is going to kill the battery life. I even enabled a setting to reduce this in light flow but nothing works. Does anyone have lightflow working correctly?
Thanks!!
At the moment the only option is to switch off the ambient display. If there's an outstanding notification or one is getting updated it'll trigger ambient display and lightflow always has an active outstanding notification.
I've put a feature request in to Google to allow some control of when it triggers.
Can you star the issue here*

I don't seem to have this problem. Ambient display only lights up on new notifications, even with the latest Light Flow with persistent notification. I do have issues with light flow losing control on a regular basis and then I just see the standard very slow white led blink regardless of notifications. Activating lock screen promptly fixes and then I see the appropriate color and blink rare from light flow.

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully u guys find a workaround
I also have had probles with the ambient display turning on seeminly randomly all the time, I didn't know it was light flow..
On another note, I miss the feature were my screen would turn on when I get a text messge (but not dismiss the lightflow) so in case the LED wasn't attention grabbing enough the screen turning on would be. Nexus doesn't seem to do that, can lightflow do this? (turn on the screen for 2-3 seconds right after a new specific notification, say text message?)

Out of curiosity is building the app with the new api's what triggers the need for the notification? Reason I ask is the previous (lollipop api???) version was working fine without the persistent notification on Marshmallow.

Yes that's exactly it.
I'm bringing out a new play store version later today which will be targeting lollipop's API for people who don't mind loosing android 6 specific features (ie runtime permissions, camera flash control) but don't want the notification related issues of apps targeting android 6.
a fine trade off for me. Had to stop using the app because of that for the time being.
Absolutely fine with me as well. Thanks for the great work as always Andrew.:good::highfive:

Light flow notification

It's driving me insane that everytime I turn my screen on to lockscreen, my light flow notification titls, shows for half a second and then disappears. If I block the notifications from app settings, lightflow stops working.
Anyone having same issue?
Lightflow is working fine for me. I haven't noticed that.

The only time I have seen this is with a small number of apps that must have a different way they implement LED notifications. In those apps, I have to disable the LED notification from within that specific app. When I say a small number, for me it is like... 2 of 80 apps or something.
This is my lightflow notification problem..

This happened with their latest app update to help with Marshmallow improvements. Developer is aware and said they should be doing something to fix it....but it's been a week already.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you're talking about the persistent notification. Yes, it is something he has had to do in order to support future development on Android 6.0. I believe he is working on a means to give people access to the prior version if they want it, but it would be feature frozen (i.e. no more new features).
Check out this on his site: http://www.reactle.com/2015/10/changes-for-android-6-marshmallow.html

Screen blink on notification received, is this possible?

Hello, got my S7E these days and some custom roms I tried on my old Note 3 had a feature (IDK the name) where the screen would quickly light up in black and white when you receive a notification (gmail, telegram, whatsapp, sms...)
Do we have something like on our phone? AOD won't support third-party apps, so it doesn't take this place...
Quick edit: I found out that I'm looking for Ambient Display! Is there any app that would do this?
EDIT2: I found AcDisplay and it does almost all I wanted, but it won't unlock with my digital after I check the notification.. :/

Screen wake for notifications?

For those not using Always On Display, does your screen light-up/turn-on for notifications? Mine does not. How do I allow screen-wake for notifications? For example, when I receive a text message (on stock messaging app) I hear the notification sound, but screen does not turn on briefly to display notification. The notification does show on the lockscreen when I manually wake the phone. I turned on the setting to show all notifications on lockscreen. This problem is also on my LG G5. Maybe LG doesn't allow screen wake for notifications?
i would love for this to be sorted, as well ...
I guess you could try Nils or another similar app for do this...

My h870ds (ARE) has the same issue too. They are only stock sms app and Viber that make lock screen turn on automatically after receiving notifications. If I get messages from Telegram and other apps, I just have sound notification and that's it. Lock screen doesn't turn on. My G5 h850 doesn't have this issue.
I flashed the firmware of European region on my G6 but it didn't solve the issue. What is the region of your G6? And can we solve this problem anyway? Maybe it's feature, not a bug, but it's quite irritating...
you can always try this solution:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...ue-missing-t3698336/post77087755#post77087755
basically the screen is off until you get some kind of notification (FB, Whatsup, Email, Viber message , etc.) - you control what notification will turn your AOD display ON. When you read your notification, Tasker turns off AOD. Very, very convenient
However, the last update of Tasker broke the functionality and currently I am using some old version of Tasker

Actually, I've been using Tasker for AOD feature for couple of days too, it's quite convenient and can be used as some kind of solution. I just can't understand why some versions of G6 face this issue, kind of strange decision of LG

Which version of Tasker are you using? I am wondering if they've fixed the issues I had a month ago.

5.2.bf2
I downloaded it from 4pda, not from GP. My G6 is on 7.0, not Oreo (in case if it's important).

Ambient Display?

Anyway to replace AOD with Androids Ambient Display?
AOD is nice, but I'd rather have Ambient displays. Ambient Displays temporary feature which just shows notifications briefly is what I'd prefer instead of just an icon and a big ass click always there.
There used to be Xposed modules but those are pretty much gone nowadays.
Download NILS.

I believe NILS is for lockscreen notifications only, it won't replace AOD screen.
Ambient display turns on the screen when you receive a notification. This is exactly what NILS does if you set it that way and turn off it's notification service, so it'll turn on the screen when you receive notifications and show the standard notifications from the phone you're using.
