Notifications....see but not hear

My definition/expectation of a 'notification' is a graphic/text message with the option to enable/disable a sound to alert me that the notification came in
per app.

I want to:
1- enable/disable graphic/text per app
2- enable/disable sound per app

For #1, it looks like I have to go Setting>App Manager>All>Uncheck 'show notifications'. But, apparently that will disable everything...ie, no graphic/text or sound. I've tried lock screen and notification apps without luck so far.......thanks to all

No, you can do more than that.
Go into App Manager/all and touch each individual app. There you can disable notifications for that single app. However, there is no option to separate sound vs. visual notifications. Either you get notifications for that one app, or you don't. You can have as many, or as few apps notify you as you want.


I turned them all off. The only thing I want to hear is the phone ring, or the SMS ding when a text message comes in. Nothing else.
 
On Iphone this is relatively straightforward (IMHO):
- Settings>Notifications Center>App X> Sounds on/off, Show in Notification Ctr on/off, show on lock/scree on/off

So I guess I have to spend hours now looking for a 'cool' app that will do the above... any suggestions welcome......thanks

Two solutions...

1. Dynamic Notifications app.

2. Go back to iPhone. (not too late if your within the 14 day window)

I just picked up an app called Lightflow using some of those Amazon coins that have been floating around and it looks like it will meet all of your requirements. Did you get the 1000 coins?

Don't know if you were talking to me or? Anyways, I use both Dynamic Notifications & Lightflow apps. They work well together.
Don't know anything about the coins your talking about???
