I made a Tasker profile that will basically make the 2nd screen flash, "New Text Message" every 6 seconds until you turn the screen on. The idea for this is that you can now have something noticeable from a distance to alert you that you have a new message.
Let me know if it helps anyone.
*This won't work with 3rd party messaging apps like Tango or Whatsapp.*
How to use:
Download Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Download the zip and extract it to your internal SD/Tasker/profiles
Open Tasker.
Make sure Profiles tab is active, and tap the tab again. Choose Import. Choose Flash_New_Text.

Thank you for this.
Maybe we can think a few ways he can make different ones for different notifications.
For example: if we get a text, we see the text message popup. If we get an email, the second screen cycles through each second window shortcut.

I believe this simply adds a notification and then deletes it after 3 seconds. New notifications appear in the second screen.

Thanks for the app.
Not sure if it is working correctly...sort of new to this.

Sounds like you have it. Try rebooting your phone.
Are you using the stock messenger app?
When you receive a text with the main screen off, the second screen flashes a "new text message" notification. It flashes every 3 seconds.

I can't answer the GoSMS question, but it's unlikely to work unless GoSMS completely replaces the system's text messaging service.

The only notifications that Tasker will allow are for successfully sent SMS messages, new SMS (and/or MMS), and missed calls.
Technically, you can make it work with apps like Tango and Whatsapp, but you'd need Tasker plugins that will allow Tasker to recognize that you received a message. To do this, it would mean that you'd need to create a version for each and every type of messaging service (if there's an available plugin). It's a lot to do and I can't even test them all.

Your normal text message notification does still appear. This creates a separate notification that appears and disappears, causing the 2nd screen to pulse a message that says, "New Text Message." Once the main screen turns on, this pulsing notification simply ends and vanishes. If the main screen is off, and you get a NEW text, it'll start up again.

Create the folders in your internal SD directory.
So create a "Tasker" folder and inside that, a "profiles" folder.

Here's a test version for third party apps like Whatsapp, Tango, etc.
You can try this one if you use a third party text messaging service and the original profile I made doesn't work with that app.
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL WORK RIGHT, OR EVWN WORK AT ALL!
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58163c2cbb678/3rd_Party_Texts (EXTRACT ME).zip
To use this, you MUST do the following after importing the profile:
1) Expand the "3rd Party Texts" profile by tapping on "3rd Party Texts." It's expanded if you can see the On/Off toggle.
2) tap the trophy icon
3) tap the rocket ship
4) select your text messaging app
4.5) Leave the rest alone.
5) Press the back button
6) See if it works
Note: Only 1 app will work per this profile. If you use multiple 3rd party apps (Tango AND Whatsapp for example), long press the "3rd Party Texts" text, press the "A" icon in the upper right and rename the profile to something else (ex: Tango), then import the "3rd Party Texts" profile again. Repeat steps 1-6 above, but with your second app.
Repeat everything as many times as necessary.

Tried this with Textra, unfortunately it is not flashing
Also tried the Missed call one and it's not flashing on that either. I'm currently streaming music and that icon is there so not sure if that's causing an issue.
When I pull the notification shade down, it says Tasker profile active none even though both of them say on in Tasker.
I have admin turned on and accessibility service turned on for Tasker as well.
EDIT
I fixed the Textra one- basically you have to turn off the "Screen on" option in Textra otherwise that triggers the screen on portion of the Text tasker item.
Still haven't figured out why the missed call one isn't working - at first I thought maybe the initiate time frame was too short so I upped it to 10 sec, but even that isn't triggering the flash.
Added both the NEW TEXT and MISSED CALL profiles to mine.
I haven't tested out the MISSED CALL yet, but it should work exactly like the NEW TEXT.
I have both set to ON.
Does this app Tasker effect the battery life since it is always on and detecting for messages?
Thanks again for your hard work in creating this...greatly appreciated.

I recently started having this problem where I keep getting 2 notifications for texts after using 2.1
I use handscent sms and turned off all notifications from the default messaging app but they both still notify me of a new text. Its annoying itll vibrate twice, ringer twice. plus I cant even get the default sms thing in the notification bar to go away unless I manually clear it. Never had this problem for the months I had this phone before the update.
Anyone come across this or know how to fix it?

seemingly, after disabling notifications, removing the messages shortcut from the homescreen does the trick, although i havn't tried this myself.
you wont loose the messaging its still in your APPS list.

the way this normally works, is you install handcent which does have this option. then you go in and disable to stock messaging app completely, so that only handcent or your replacement choice controls text behavior.

What you'll notice is that even if you disable the notifications on a the standard messaging app, the app still runs in the background as it's also handling all the incoming DB writes from what I can tell. Samsung re-wrote the messaging app which always runs (and can't be removed) and in this app is the control to turn the screen on. That's why I can't figure out how to disable it without breaking SMS functionality altogether.

Hi is anyone else having this issue with RR 2.6
1) When you are in the Messaging app and you have a message open for example, if you receive a new SMS whilst the messaging app is open, you dont hear a SMS notification?
2) Also holding down the power button to bring up the power menu, i select silent mode, yet i still hear some sounds like calendar notifications etc. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
Ah hang on ive figured out number 2. Still have the no notification of new SMS prob though.
3) ive noticed that when charging, when it gets to 100% it doesnt say fully charged. Just keeps on charging. Anyone else had this?
Ok update:
2.6.1 seems to have resolved the motification sound when messaging app is open.
Another issue is why is the messaging apps box where you type the text only only line and there is no enter key?
I take it no one has come across the SMS notification thing then? It just doesnt make a sound when you have the messaging app open???

After installing and enabling Flying Android, you need to launch "FA Toggle" to move the window of the Activity. But this module does NOT provide any way to launch it. So you should prepare other apps to do it such as Gravity Box, SwipePad, etc. In the demo movie, I use Gravity Box to show "FA Toggle" on the Navi-ring (popup when long-pressing the home button).
Oh ok, I understand.
Thank you!

Thanks for your message, I fixed the bug at version 0.6.1 already uploaded.
0.6.1 is not working correctly. I can't control the black list: the checkboxes for each app don't work. The "Show only black" checkbox works. But once I open the black list, Flying Android stops working correctly until the next time I reboot my phone: when I fly an app, the fly window turns into Flying Android's app window, and when I unfly, my context has been switched to FA. If I reboot and don't open FA, it works correctly.
In addition, with 0.6.x, I'm now able to fly gReader and my phone app, which I couldn't do before.
Also, AquaMail now flies, and Firefox flies without displaying messed up graphics.

OK, I revert Black list's layout to previous version. And FA Toggle's behavior you said is probably Android's specification. Because FA Toggle is an Activity within Flying Android package, it brings another Activity within same package to top of app's stack if the another Activity is running on background. I think FA Toggle's flag is bad, but I couldn't fix it. Therefore, please exit Flying Android's app by pressing Back key before fly.

My Galaxy Note's phone app still cannot fly. And Firefox works correctly even if flying.
I feel that model-dependent behaviors are increased on version 0.6.x. I also received a report that FA's icon is displayed on the top if FA is enabled on HTC's phone.
With 0.5.6, I couldn't even use my phone app. I don't mean flying it, I mean it wouldn't work and I couldn't answer calls with FA enabled. I'd have to disable FA in Xposed and then reboot to make a call. But now it's ok.
Is it possible to add an option to disable FA without having to reboot? I've seen other Xposed modules that have a disable feature.

Could you answer calls with 0.5.6 if appends the phone app to the black list? It works as FA is disabled if the app is added to the black list.
Now, I uploaded FA version 0.6.3. The new version can change settings without rebooting, requires to recreate Activity instead.

No, I had the phone app and contacts blacklisted, along with the system phone app (blacklisted by default?), but I simply could not use my phone, except in a very limited way. The phone app would pop up a warning dialog, and if I dismissed it, the phone call would disconnect. Plus, I couldn't use the keypad at all.
0.6.3 has a similar problem, and I've discovered that 0.6.2 doesn't work properly with the phone app, either. I've blacklisted the phone app and com.android.phone. I can make a phone call, but the screen goes black and then com.android.phone pops up an FC dialog. The phone call continues, but if I dismiss the dialog, the phone call will cut off. At that point, I see the keypad again and can make a new call, but the same thing happens. Also, there's a persistent notification of an ongoing phone call that I can only clear by rebooting my phone.
The other features of 0.6.3 look good and I haven't seen problems with any other apps yet.
EDIT: I want to suggest a new feature: fly the pull-down notification window. When I open notifications, I can't clear them one-handed because I can't reach the "clear" button.
Thank you for details. I have understood the problem as last. In version 0.6.4, I fixed the bug that cause to FC in call on Galaxy. I tested by Galaxy Note, but I think that other Galaxy devices are same behavior.

The "in call" bug is fixed on my Galaxy S4. So I took the phone app contacts off the blacklist, and they fly correctly. The pin options look good, and option changes take effect after restarting apps that were already running so that we don't have to reboot.
EDIT: suggestion: I only find the pin function useful in a few apps (that do internal scrolling). It's annoying to display the pin for apps that don't need it because I might accidentally touch it. So I suggest a whitelist for the pin function.
@tkgktyk: I got a cycle reboot at sony ericsson ray (os 2.3.4 stock)
It doesn't work well with ezPDF, so I had to blacklist it. When you view this app's recent items list, FA changes the list's coloring to mostly white so that it's hard to read. I guess that has something to do with the "Force set window background" feature, which I have checked. Then, when you fly ezPDF while in the recent items list, it takes two clicks to un-fly it completely. I don't really need to fly this app, but if the bugs associated with ezPDF are fixed, I imagine it will make FA work better with other apps, too.

ezPDF is fixed.
EDIT:
The status bar pin mostly works. But after I fly it once, the next time, it won't fly until I touch the pin two times. The same behavior when I un-fly the status bar without dismissing it. To re-fly it, I have to touch the pin two times.
The pin white list doesn't work. I white list an app, but all apps continue to show the pin. When I return to FA to check the white list, it shows no whitelisted items, so white list selection isn't sticking. I tried rebooting, but that doesn't fix it.
Also, the pin behavior changed as of a couple of versions ago (I forgot to mention it). I want to pin the app Solid Explorer, which is a file browser. Previously, when I pinned it, I could then scroll the file list inside the pinned, flying window. But now when I pin it, I can't scroll the file list: the flying window is just pinned in place until I unpin or unfly it.
@tkgktyk: I will try.
the status bar doesn't fly if it only contains ongoing notifications.
You are missing a notification LED on LG G6?
You don't use the AlwaysOnDisplay (AOD)?
You are using Tasker?
I have a solution for you.
The AOD screens goes on if you have a new message and goes off after reading that massage.
Beside the newest version of Tasker you need additional the app Tasker Settings
I have attached two files "AOD_ON.tsk.xml" and "AOD_OFF.tsk.xml"
These are the Tasker task which turns the AlwaysOnDisplay on and off.
How to import these XML as Tasker task: read this XDA thread
Now you have to add 2 new profiles in Tasker
Profile 1 - Notification
Go to the Profile tab in Tasker, and press the "Plus" (+) button
Choose: EVENT - UI - NOTIFICATION ... you can choose now an app (owner application) let's say WhatsApp (you can choose more than one app)
Related task : AOD_ON
Important : leave all the fields TITEL, TEXT, SUBTEXT etc empty.
Profile 2 - Notification removed
Go to the Profile tab in Tasker, and press the "Plus" (+) button
Choose: EVENT- UI - NOTIFICATION REMOVED ... you can choose now an app (owner application) let's say WhatsApp (you can choose more than one app)
Related task : AOD_OFF
If you don't want to be notified in the middle of the night by AOD, you may have that Profile only active during daytime. Short tap the Prolie name, long tap the profile description. A new window pops up, choose ADD. A new window pops up, choose TIME. You can now define in which period of the day the profile is active.
LG G6 settings: Notifications/ LOCK Screen / do NOT choose Hide all notifications !
It works for me on LG G6 (H870)
Have fun
EDIT: for SMS & MMS add Contacts, Phone App and (if possible) SMS App to owner application in Tasker Profile
For missed calls you need to add 'Calling Accounts' apart from Phone app.
Here are the steps how to add this: (thanks to user Vitoski, who found out)
1. Click on the 'Owner Application'
2. click 'ALL' button at the right bottom corner
3. Select 'Calling Accounts'.
4. click back twice and tick to save changes.
EDIT : If you like to have a brighter AOD , please read this useful post added by user vitoski
Many thanks for that!
Thanks a lot to users Dracushor87 and Vitoski for testing and giving hints and ideas!
Edit : new versions of AOD_ON and AOD_OFF tasks
martmarq great post - thanks a lot!
I've been using AOD with Tasker since two days now and in most cases it works fine. It kicks in when the notification shows up and turns off when I remove the notification.
However sometimes the AOD turns on itself, even if there was no notification registered in the system. These are the two situations in which I have spotted this:
# when you go to Display Settings and click on three dots next to AOD - you don't need to change anything in there, just go there and back to homescreen.
# when you connect phone to the charger. Even when you disconnect it, the AOD stays on.
# under some other circumstances which I was not able to pinpoint right now
So, have you observed the same?

When you connect the phone to the charger, there is a notification.... therefor AOD should go on.
You can manage that by choosing apps (owner application) in Tasker. That solved the problem for me.
That might also solve the other circumstances.
I don't have that problem with the display settings... I have just tested that.

Have you used specific apps which notifications you monitor within the profiles or left it blank (none of the apps is selected)? This is the way I made it and I suspect it may causes all of those issues I described. Definitely will test it, but thought I'm gonna check it with you

Yes, I have activated only the needed apps like WhatsApp, Email and so on.
I have edited the first post, because for SMS you need a new profile (see above)
for me, sms notifications work without creating a separate profile. i only added the Contacts app to the list ( with Phone app )

mmmhhh... yes, now it works. Seems I had not added one of those two....
For me the sms app worked fine too. Will check now with limiting the number of notifications to specific apps and let you guys know if I still experience the same problems as reported above.

Are you using any 3rd party Phone/Contacts app or sock one? For some reason it doesn't work for me with stock application.
I have selected both (Contacts and Phone) applications and it doesn't activate AOD when I have a missed call
i have stock apps. for missed calls, i did the 3rd profile with phone missed call event. last night i had a missed call , but with a whatsapp message, and i thought that the profile is good. but today i checked it, and it doesn't work without a separate profile.

OK I found the missing part... You need to also add 'Calling Accounts' apart from Phone app.
Here are the steps how to add this:
1. Click on the 'Owner Application'
2. click 'ALL' button at the right bottom corner
3. Select 'Calling Accounts'.
4. click back twice and tick to save changes.
Now you can exit Tasker and check if AOD kicks in when you have a missed call. Would be good to hear from others if this works fine, but it works for me fine.
@martmarq can you please add it to OP once other confirm if this works for them?

Many thanks... I always thought ALL mean activate all Apps... never pressed that button before...:cyclops:
It works, I will add that.
Hello, thanks for you post.
Just a question : It's juste for AOD without cover or witch official cover it's working too ?
It's too bad the screen power off with official cover ....
Dumb question here.... Do we need root for this to work ?

I am not using any cover. I don't know what the cover does. Sorry for not being more helpful here.
Not quite working for me (US997)... I have every thing all set up, but my Tasker notification says "No profiles activated". Any ideas?

A tasker profile is only activated when it is triggered.
If you produce a profile like "active between 8 o'clock and midnight" does that work for you?

Yes, it does. The AOD_off profile works, but I can not get AOD_on to trigger with an app notification, I have verified that I have the app selected for a trigger.
