Description
Important: On Android 8.0 (API level 26) or above, due to "Background execution limits" introduced in Oreo to improve battery life, Android no longer register broadcast receivers for implicit broadcasts in the manifest, this mean Charging LED may take up to 3-4 minutes before receiving the signal from Android that it detected USB plugged in for charging.Note: This does not affect any apps that detect "ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED" in a service, since Charging LED is designed specifically to avoid a constantly running service, it is something that can't be avoided.
Battery Charging LED is developed and tested for the Galaxy Nexus, because the phone don't provide any indication during charging. It may works on other phones (NO GUARANTEE).
Once the app is installed and setup, the phone's LED will blink in different colour during charging when screen off (Android constraint).
Features:
* Definable LED blink rate
* Definable LED colour
* Definable battery level interval
* Charging status notification
* Charging sound notification
* Import/Export settings (Advanced users can edit the colour hex code in ini file, and import settings for more precise colour)
*** For users wanting to enter HEX colour code, follow below steps:
(1) Export settings to storage
(2) Edit the exported ChargingLED.ini file with required colour code
(3) Import the ChargingLED.ini back to the app
*** Important ***
Read the Help and FAQ inside the app, it provide important information on how to setup the app.
*** Note ***
If you do decide to rate this app, positive or negative, please include your device type and os version, as this would help other users. Thanks.
Localization:

* Chinese (繁體/简体)
*** IMPORTANT ***
- LED will only light up when the screen is off.
- Lollipop users should ensure "Settings > Sound & notification > Interruptions > When notification arrive" is set to "Always interrupt", otherwise, LED notification from Charging LED may not be recognize.
*** For Nexus 5X users on Android 7 ***
1 - Goto "Settings > System UI Tuner > Other > Power Notification Controls" and turn it on.
2 - Goto "Settings > Notifications > Charging LED" and change the notification level from Auto (tap on the 'A') to Level 4 (one level higher to the right).
Note:
The above options may also exists on different devices, so take a look yourself.
Thanks to anonymous for the above info left in comment.
*** For Samsung Galaxy Nexus (4.2+) ***
Comment dated 2012-12-29, report "Daydream" feature does not conflict with the app, but as always the screen needs to be off for the LED to light up. Thanks you for the report.
*** For Samsung Galaxy S3 users ***
The GS3 actually have a built in charging LED indicator option.
The app maybe having conflict with this option, try disable this first. "Setting > LED indicator > Charging".
Again, as I don't own a GS3, appreciate anyone with a GS3 to test this out and report finding.
*** For Android 7.1.1 (Lineage OS) ***
Try set notifications to be at least level 4.
This may also apply to all Android 7. So give it a check.
The code is open source and available on github: https://github.com/HairyRobot/ChargingLED

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
