[App] Glimpse Notifications

Ex-iPhone user can can’t believe Android doesn’t offer such a basic function?
Your new phone doesn’t have LED notification anymore?
Want to pull your phone out of your bag or pocket and immediately have it enabled?
Like to get repeated reminders for pending notifications?

Then this app is for you!

FINGERPRINT SENSORS AND SMARTLOCKS

Depending on your configuration, this app may need the Device Administrator permission.

To implement several (optional) features, Glimpse Notifications may need to turn off the screen. This happens with a delay imposed by Android and smart locks such as fingerprint sensors will keep working. Alternatively, the app may be registered as a device administrator. The screen is then locked immediately, but fingerprint sensors and other smart locks will no longer work.

Glimpse Notifications user reviews :

I purchased an LG G7, and Ambient Display isn’t an option on this device. Glimpse filled that gap in features for me. No problems, no big battery drain, as far as I can tell, and works flawlessly.

Awesome app. Resolved the notification problem on my S10 and more for the Pie and Samsung One UI. Want to say ‘Thanks’ to the creator and keep up the good work. You guys rock!!

I needed something to turn on the screen on my S10+ when i got notifications, this does that and i’m happy with it BUT it also turns the screen on when the battery gets fully charged! And since i usually keep the phone on the wireless charger… The screen stays on until i take it off the charger… Anyway to fix this?
