They were a good indicator for notifications that are missed when you were away from phone.

I use an app on my Pixel 7 that uses a small portion of the OLED around the front facing camera cutout to generate custom colored notifications. This is similar to how dynamic island on IOS works and since I do not use the always on display it mimics an LED light for my notification needs.

Would you mind sharing the name of this app?

I sent you a DM, wasn't sure it was kosher to post publicly.
