I tried with different notification durations, but it didn't make any
difference. People still complained about the notifications. I have now
implemented ad solutions from startapp and appbrain. I am using their
solutions in some of my live wallpapers. These get around 1500 downloads
each day.
what was the notification duration(or how many notification does your app
pushes around in a day) you used in your wallpaper?
I added 2 notification a day and 1 for every reboot of phone.It worked but
still got some bad reviews...

I have researched this during the previous months, but I can't find any
profitable advertising solutions for live wallpapers.
Push ads and app icons are no longer allowed by Google, so they are not an
option anymore.
The only available place to put ads in live wallpapers seem to be the
I have researched this now and banner ads will not work for our live
wallpapers. All of our live wallpapers are hypnotic. The purpose of them is
to meditate while looking at the hypnotic animations. It would ruin the
whole purpose of them, to force people to look at banner ads at the same
I see, we plan to implement the same solution that Fireflies uses with a
transparent banner. Or do you think live wallpapers without ads will have
better chances at getting lots of downloads and being selected for the
best new free apps section?
I just wonder, because our live wallpapers have
That's probably a better question for a marketing forum than a developer
forum.

Thanks for explaining Google's opinion on this! The free version of
Fireflies live wallpaper seems to have an ad solution, which works well.
A transparent banner is shown at the top of the main screen for the live
wallpaper. The reviews for the app are good and I don't see any complaints

This isn't Google's opinion, it is my opinion.
If other people have found ways to do ads that work, then great. As I
said, I am not morally opposed to it, this just isn't a design goal for
them.
And it sounds like you see ways to do things that you think are acceptable,
so what are you looking
lol, I can just see the headlines now, Google says apps with ads are bad
idea.
I take back what I said about not building a business around live
wallpapers. I didn't think people could make money with blogs when they
first started and a couple people got rich starting some highly successful

any other advertising solution for live wallpapers than push notifications.
Is any one else here developing live
Let's assume that push advertising is a bad user experience. (It is.)
Do you have a solution for presenting advertising to the user through a
live wallpaper that doesn't suck?
I can't think of one. If you can't either, maybe this is just not an
appropriate thing to do.

Thanks for the advice! The best thing would be to use in-app billing
without commercials if this generated enough revenue. We tried this last
year, but it didn't pay off enough. We then added notification commercials
from Leadbolt to our live wallpapers in February. This increased the
revenue

I agree
I agree with what you are saying! I see that your company FiltrSoft has 18
apps on Android market. Do you also get much more revenue from advertising

Mixing live wallpapers with attempts at advertising seems like a terrible
idea to me. Have you considering instead trying something like in-app
billing to allow users to unlock features in your app?
