Since smartphone manufacturers no longer install notification LEDs, it is difficult to see new and important messages without frequently switching on the screen. The only way to avoid this is to activate the Always on Display. The only problem is that this results in high battery consumption. With Samsung smartphones today, you can set the AOD to be activated only when there are new notifications, but the disadvantage is that this also activates the AOD whenever apps that are not very relevant post notifications. This is exactly where my Flow comes into play. With my Flow, you can specify exactly which apps are allowed to activate the AOD.
Since I haven't found a way to do this via a 'Notification posts? block to monitor several apps, the Flow has become a little larger, but it still works without any problems.
I use a Samsung S23U, so this flow should also work on other Samsung devices. But whether it also works on smartphones from other manufacturers needs to be tested.
This flow is currently designed for 3 apps, but can be extended by any desired number of apps. To do this, simply copy an entire column, add it to the right and connect it with another Fork-block.
How this flow works:
At the beginning, the variable Counter is set to 0, if one of your chosen apps now brings a notification, the variable is increased by 1, if the notification is deleted or read, the variable is decreased by 1 again. The AOD will be activated when the Counter variable is greater than 0.
If the energy-saving mode of your smartphone is activated, the AOD will no longer be switched on.
Example:
The AOD is deactivated and the apps Whatsapp, Telegram or the calendar can activate it. If Whatsapp now displays a notification, the Counter is set to 1 and the AOD is activated. If Telegram does now also display a notification, the counter is increased to 2. In this case, the AOD still remains activated. If Whatsapp is read, the counter drops to 1 again. If Telegram is now read, too, it drops to 0 and the AOD is deactivated again.
Before the first start:
- Set the same app in block 2 and 125
- Repeat this step in the columns to the right with your remaining apps
- Now you can start the flow, have fun!
