Custom notification alerts for individual apps?

[vice86]

Googled but found nothing. Trying to find an app that will list all the apps I have installed and let me assign whatever notification alert I want to each app. Is there anything like this for Android?

For example, I'd like to set different notification sounds for some games like Words with friends, hanging with friends and an xbox app that lets me know when my friends log on.

You might be able to accomplish this by using two apps in conjunction with one another. Lightflow controls both how the LED appears, as well as the notification sound. To maximize the functionality, I'd recommend using Zedge, which is chock full of free ringtones/ wallpapers/ notification sounds.

cool..thanks, I'll have to check out Lightflow and see if it works the way I'm hoping.

The LED you're talking about...the camera LED can blink according to notification? I have a Galaxy Note if that makes some kind of difference.

you may be able to assign custom alerts using tasker. I think tasker is only limited by the very steep learning curve.

Sorry OP, I didn't realize that the GNote didn't have an LED for notification purposes. FWIW, MOST Android phones have a multi-color LED on the front of device that'll display a color that correlates to the app that is attempting to notify you. For example, if someone sent you a message via Facebook, somewhere above/ below your screen and imbedded in the bezel would be a blinking blue light, so if you missed the vibration/ ringer, you could know you had a message pending just by glancing at the device while the screen was off. There's an app called noLED that was specifically written for phones such as yours, that mimics the functionality on a small corner of your screen. Given that the GNote is made by Samsung, there's a really good chance that the screen on it is AMOLED, which means that the pixels don't light up to show the color black but simply turn off to accomplish that, so noLED's battery consumption should be negligible for you.
