ActiveNotifications can give any Android running version <strong>4.1.2 or above<\/strong> a similar feature. Part of your screen will light up when a notification comes in &#8211; but not if your phone is in your purse, pocket, or face down. You can choose which apps work with ActiveNotifications, so you only see your most important notifications.<\/p>\n<p>There is a danger that ActiveNotifications will drain your battery if you don&#8217;t have an AMOLED screen &#8211; with these, only the notification area of the screen will be activated. On others the whole screen will wake up, using more power. Currently ActiveNotifications only shows one notification at a time, unlike Motorola&#8217;s Active Display, but this is likely to be addressed in future updates.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47380\" title=\"activenotifications\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/activenotifications.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/activenotifications.png 375w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/activenotifications-256x223.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is also a <strong>premium version<\/strong> of ActiveNotifications, which adds a few more features, like &#8216;Sleep at night&#8217;, additional privacy and and adjust notification brightness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/activenotifications.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Download ActiveNotifications for Android<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ActiveNotifications is an app that lets you get important notifications even if your screen is off.
