Bug Description

There is a much richer set of uses for the notification LED. The following configuration comes from one of our ODMs as an example

Battery level over 90% during charging - solid green
Battery level is less than 90% during charging - solid red
Screen is locked and charging when message arrives - led blinks green for 1 sec then red for 1 sec.
Screen is locked and charging when call is missed - led blinks blue for 1 sec then off for 5 sec
Screen is unlocked when message arrives - led blinks green for 1 sec and off for 1 sec
Screen is unlocked when cal is missed - led blinks blue for 1 sec then off for 1 sec
Screen is locked when a call is missed or a message arrives - led blinks based on earliest event (note: not clear why you would not use green and blue alternately)

I'd like the notification LED to warn me when the battery is low or critical. Perhaps flashing red when low, solid when critical. This would collide with the plan for the battery charging. IMHO, it's more useful to me to know when the phone needs charging (which I generally won't know otherwise) than when it is charging (which I know because I set it to charge, although I appreciate that I also need to know if it isn't working).

IMO this is a fairly important thing to nail on a phone

I let you know that customers have been demanding notification led settings since this started. Some things reported are:

- Battery status notifications(like in the description)
- Configurable colour notification per app
- Blinking speed settings
- Option to disable led notifications

I've seen on Android the LED also turns white on the bq Aquaris E5 (I think when a call is happening - phone, Viber, WhatsApp, etc.). I like white, it draws maximum attention.
