Ok, sounds like we should do the following: 1. Introduce a *certified* API for controlling the LED. Draft below. 2. Let the system app use that API in order to set the LED color/blink pattern any time there's pending notifications. 3. Use the API to indicate battery status (low battery, very low battery, charging) 4. Add UI in the settings app for controlling notifications from apps. Including disabling notifications completely for an app, controlling if it shows up on the lock screen, LED color/pattern etc.
The forth step should of course be done together with UX. And we don't need to do the fourth step right away but is something that can be added as time permits. / Jonas On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 1:02 PM, Fabrice Desré <[email protected]> wrote: > On 09/08/2014 12:19 PM, Alexandre Lissy wrote: >> Le 08/09/2014 10:05, Jonas Sicking a écrit : >>> I think we should do a few things here: >>> >>> 1.
