Looking for a notification light / LED on your Samsung Galaxy S23, S22, Note 20, S21, S10, Note 10, or A52 device?
With aodNotify, you can add a customizable notification light or LED directly to Samsung’s Always On Display (AOD)—so you never miss an important notification again.
Choose from multiple notification light styles and display them around the camera cutout, along the screen edges, or as a simulated LED dot in the status bar on supported Galaxy devices.
Select from dozens of smooth animated light effects such as LED blink, neon, echo, and more.
Because the notification light is integrated into Samsung’s Always On Display, battery consumption remains minimal, unlike apps that keep your phone awake in the background.
