I was looking for a very simple way of having AOD turn on when receiving a notification only. A quasi notification LED if you will. There was a Tasker method that was a little complicated and didn't work for me that well.
I found that another Tasker-type app does it very simply and very well and takes about 2 mins to step up. Now my AOD only comes on when i get a notification and goes off when i clear the notification.
Here's how to do it:
1. Download Automate from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate&hl=en_AU
2. After downloading, go to 'More Flows...' in the menu.
3. Hit 'Start'
4. Search for 'AOD Manager' - the only entry found should be 'AOD Manager v2'. Download it.
5. Go back to main menu and you will now see it there. Run it! You will have to install a few other Automate add ons and allow permissions but that is essentially it.
6. It also turns on AOD when charging.
Works great!
I have nothing to do with the app or the flow - just found it and thought it is a 2 minute install that works.
Can it work if we've got the medium power saving turned on, I think it'll moan because Medium power saving disables the ability to turn on AOD
Still really cool though, thanks for sharing!

yes it works as I also run medium power savings, you should turn off AOD in settings before doing this.
Thank you for posting this! Works fantastic!
Great find? Works like a charm. This is exactly how I want aod to work!
Works great, is it possible to remove the automate notification?
attached schedule flow where you can set the time when you don't want the AOD to turn on, for example when going to sleep, add it then edit the time that suits you.

yes just turn off notifications for the app.
Very nice idea and taught! I think this should be a stock option.
Thank you.
Can you please also share how you did this with Tasker? I could figure this out myself probably, but have little time and if the task is possible to export or copy, why bother.

First, make sure that you give both app and flow the needed permissions.
Second, go to the AOD settings and make sure the AOD display mode is set to "Show always". If it's set to "Tap to show" it will not work like intended and you will have to tap the screen twice to trigger the phone to show the AOD.
Once the flow is running make sure to disable the notification for AutomateIt. Otherwise the flow will keep the AOD always on since there is a notification running all the time. Same is for listening to music, the notification will keep the AOD on.
And I suggest to disable the logging since the size of the log will quickly get huge.
When I run AOD and start the flow, AOD is always on (like the name says ) but that's what I don't want!

Blue, red, green (presumably an app could also provide mixed colours).
bought it juz for fun.
pleasantly surprised by the functions it offers.
a good buy definitely. doesnt cost a kidney too.
on my s3 when lightflow is on it activates talk back function when choosing home screen page. and talk back and driving mode are off :S
Yep - thats a bug (not with Lightflow) but elsewhere as this also happens with other apps that require Accessibility function.
Requires root or not?

I cannot seem to get it to work at all? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Did you guys need to use direct mode?
Root isn't required.
Yes talk back is an android bug in ics that Google seem happy to ignore. Their support even blame the app devs such as ourselves (and the tasker devs) for the issue but will not reply once you challenge them. It's really frustrating!
I hope to get an s3 over the next week or so to see if there are any extra things I van hook into that Samsung have added to ics.
I have one person with the lte version of the phone and it seems that that doesn't work so well as all the colors are messed up. I hope it's a pre production bug.
New version of the app due soon with quite a few additions.

You need select the function from accessability. Untick led functions within settings and that's it. Let me know of that works.
I think the talkback issue is more of a touchwiz issue, as if you change the launcher to Apex there is no problem
Also i have totally removed talkback from my device... And i still habe the same issue.. So im quite sure what else to try

Had the same problem and had to do a factory reset.
Well I managed to pick up and S3 for development.
I've been playing around with the tackback issue. What is working for me at the moment is going into accessibility. Switching "ON" talkback. Then pressing the "settings button at the bottom".
Uncheck every checkbox in the settings.
Then switch talkback OFF again.
Could anyone else see if this helps for them?
New version of lightflow due very soon, just fixing up a few last bits for the s3 with the new version.

Tried the above still have the talkback bug only but it only seems to be touchwiz related i.e when I open folders on a homescreen or go into the homescreen manager. Seems that the bug appeared after I enabled tasker under accessibility settings.
pulsing led
If you turn on or off your s3, you can see the led actually pulsing blue and greenish... I wonder if an app could make the led pulse in the same way for notifications...
So, the LED is way too tiny for my aging eyes (also cannot get it to change colours with Lightflow anyway). I am looking for some sort of app that can show a notification on the screen when the screen is off. I don't want the screen to turn on. I just want some sort of icon to show up. I used to use an app called NoLed that would do this. You could customize icons for different notifications, colours, timing, duration, etc. Looks like that app is long gone.
I've been trying a bunch of different "edge lighting" apps, hoping to find one that will simply light up the edges to notify my (when the screen is off). So far, none of them work the way I want (or at all).
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

There are several drop-in AOD replacement apps, and they work well, but... From all reports they drink your battery too much to be worth it. Too bad, not sure why Huawei didn't go that next obvious step and have control over 'per app' notifications and such. It pretty much makes the stock AOD useless unless you really, really like knowing what time it is.
Maybe give a try to this, a perfect AOD application fully customizable !

I tried this and was unable to get it to work. All I want it to do is light up the edges of the screen when the screen is off and a notification comes in. I had all the settings looking like they were correct. I chose difference colours for different apps, but no go. It wouldn't even work when trying "test". It would only work with the screen on.

Same here.. 30% overall drain overnight.. Means at least 20% by the app itself
Just gave this app a try and it's got a few quirks to it. If I leave the "allow fingerprint functionality" after about 3 seconds the fingerprint location lights up and that's all that shows on the screen.
I also noticed when unlocking, face detection is no longer automatic. I have to double tap the screen to dismiss this app and then double tap again to start the face unlock.
Its a shame the stock aod is so terrible

The stock AOD will hopefully be better soon as Huawei in it's p30 pro latest firmware will add 3rd party access to the AOD, so developers can add functionality to the AOD.

Hey all,
Check out the app LED Blinker Pro, there is an option to have a blinking light on the screen. Looks exactly like previous samsung phones, and you can also have multiple lights for different notifications. Problem solved!

Did you try it and does it work?
Just to know if the API that supports it is there.
It seems the downsides of all the led apps is that once you get the notification you can't unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor, you have to double tap the screen or something to cancel the app and then unlock the phone.
Working pretty well for me this far. I added this app on my gf's and my S10 Plus's. Besides going through the bevy options we have it setup. The light only goes around the camera when a notification comes in. Still doing some tsing so I'll update if anything.

There is an option though that you can select that if you pickup your phone, it goes right to the lock screen so you don't have to dismiss the led screen.

Is there a way to apply the brightness settings to the always on display watch face.
I'm unable to see it in direct sunlight and have to turn on the watch to see the time.

It's the biggest mistake they maid in this watch and screw up it.

It has always on display and not only that, with the latest firmware user may choose between two watchfaces: a digital and an analogic one. On the other hand, the brightness is fixed and relatively low. I imagine this is to limit power consumption

That is definitely the downside of having an AMOLED screen instead of reflective LCD like the bip. There's no workaround. The same problem applies to cellphone, but they have light sensor instead.
My aod turns off, so it is pointless. I don't know why. I need to manually boot it up with the button.

If it doesn't detect any movement for 5 minutes, it turns off. It's a protection measure for power saving when you go to sleep and you don't need the AOD.

I figured it was something like that. Kinda defeats the purpose tho. I ended up disabling it. When I look at the watch to see the time the main watchface pops up before I get to see the aod.

Good night from Spain! Hope you are having a good quarentine (who has it).
These days I was trying to dive in Tasker a bit and I did 2 modules that I will attach in files. All of them are FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE once you saved in your Tasker profiles repository:
1.- Shake the phone to open/close torch
2.- Activate autorotate in Youtube, Maps, Google Photos and GCam. Deactivate when leave the apps
3.- Night with no data/wifi connexion + when display off
4.- Display off goes to 2G data
5.- Maybe the king... All 120hz except Youtube, Maps, Camera, some games... to 60hz
Sorry, most of you couldn't enter to see the tasks in tasknet, so I've posted as attached files

1st: Try to resee if you have every optimization battery unabled and every step disabled that Tasker says you have to disable (everything related to the battery in your phone, etc.)
2nd: if these is correct, look at my task try to make it by your own; I've heard sometimes Tasker can 'crash' some profiles if you have copied it.

Just Tasker, the 1st and yes, it's changing from 4g to 2g when your screen is off, and viceversa. I tryied to apply with an action called "device idle" but is more strict than the normal Deep sleep, so it's not working a lot. Now we should check if our battery increases slightly or not, because I don't know if changing between 2g-4g is wasting baterry too.

Yes! Just configure the monitoring files. Tasker reminds you each X to do it. You have to allow tasker to be completely full on background. If it doesn't work, just uninstall and reinstall Tasker and allow everything again (Powermaster autostart, not closing apps, no battery optimization, etc.). It worked for me when I had probs in the past
