notification for specific contacts?

[klutzydrummer]

Does anyone know of an app or widget that can notify you of missed messages or calls from specific contacts?
For example if I get one message each from Alice and Bob, I can have the widget or app let me know that I have one unread message from Alice and completely ignore Bob?

LightFlow. Try the free version first. It's not a timed trial and is fully functional. It just works with fewer apps.

In notifications, add the contacts you want to get personalized alerts for. Then you can set specific ringtones and sms alert notifications from them. You can contact specific reminder tones that ring at specific intervals. You can also choose vibration or not.

Hardware dependent: you can even choose LED colors for each contact

For example:
Alice - Blue LED, ringtone 1, ringtone 1 repeats every 5 minutes and it vibrates every ten minutes
Bob - Green LED, ringtone 2, ringtone 2 repeats every 10 minutes and no vibration

Well if you have a Samsung, you can use the buddy widgets. The buddy widget would be an icon of your contacts' picture, name, and will show a notification bubble if you have a notification like a message or missed call from that person.

I second LightFlow for this!

Try Smart Notify with individual settings for every number

Lightflow is a good suggestion, I know you can also with stock Android set different tones for different contacts, so you could potentially make "Bob's" no tone and just a vibrate, and set "Alice's" to a tone and vibrate.

Just a possible solution without having to download anything.

I think that's for incoming calls (ringtones). I've not seen it in stock Android for (sms/mms) notifications. I really wish Google would get on the ball with that one.
