Overview:
DynamicNotifications allows you to receive important notifications
when your
screen is off. When you miss a call or receive a new email/SMS, the
display will discreetly light up to let you know, without needing to
unlock the device. Most phones only have a pulsing notification LED that doesn’t actually tell you anything about the incoming notification – with
DynamicNotifications, you can immediately decide if something is important enough to act.
FEATURES:* Notifications don’t light up when your phone is in your pocket, purse, or face down to avoid accidental unlocks
* Select which app-notifications you’d like to receive via DynamicNotifications
* Change the appearance of the app (custom foreground/background color/image, show the date near the clock, change the main notification border style, and more)
* “Custom timeout”: Select for how long DynamicNotifications should be shown
(Premium feature)* “Breathing notifications”: Let not yet dismissed notifications reappear after custom intervals
(Premium feature)* “Night mode”: Don’t show notifications at night
(Premium feature)* “Hide additional details”: Hide additional notification details (e.g. SMS text, sender)
(Premium feature)* “Use as lockscreen”: Use the app as a replacement for your stock lockscreen
(Premium feature)* “Auto-wake”: Automatically turn
on the screen when you pull the device out of your pocket or pick it up from lying face-down (!) on a table
(Premium feature)* “Custom brightness”: Select how bright the DynamicNotifications screen should be
(Premium feature)* “Edit swipe actions”: Choose the action (e.g. unlock, dismiss, launch camera/custom app) for each swipe direction
(Premium feature)
HOW-TO:- Swipe right to see
more details about the notification
- Swipe left to unlock the device (respects your unlock-security settings)

FAQ:-
How can I make sure the app is working correctly?Launch
the app and follow the setup steps. Then, switch off your phone’s
screen and send an email to yourself from your PC. After a few seconds,
the notification screen should light up!
-
The screen sometimes turns on to the lockscreen, even if my phone is in my pocketPlease
go to your phone’s system settings –> “Security” –> “Device
administrators” and tick the checkbox next to “DynamicNotifications”.
This will *only* allow the app to lock your screen, nothing else!
-
When I lock my screen, nothing happens!The
app isn’t a lockscreen replacement. It respects your security settings
(PIN/Pattern lock) and only appears if you actually receive a new notification while the screen is turned off
-
Will the app become available for Android 2.x, 3.x, 4.x?The
app is now compatible with Android >=4.0. If you’re running Android
4.3, it will make use of the new “NotificationListenerService”-feature
introduced in Android 4.3.
-
Why can’t I uninstall the app?Please
go to your system settings, select “Security”, “Device Administrators”
and uncheck the DynamicNotifications-entry. You will then be able to uninstall the app.
-
My phone starts talking to me when I enable the app?!This
is a known Samsung-bug; Please go your system settings, select “Apps”
–> “All” –> Samsung TTS engine –> Disable. If this isn’t
working, go to your system settings, “Accessibility”, “Talkback” (make sure it’s disabled), “Settings”, and *uncheck* all options you see here.
Please let me know if there’s something that doesn’t work for you before leaving a review!
