MyNotify
MyNotify is an Accessibility service allowing for notifications on devices without hardware notification LEDs.
The list of apps being monitored is configurable; defaulting to GMail, Messaging, Phone and GTalk.
Notifications occur at a set interval for a duration of time; can be on a schedule; can be stopped if the device battery is too low or the device is in a bag.

FAQ
1. Why does the Accessibilty settings say the app can get at all the text you type?
The Android Accessibility system cannot tell which items an Accessibilty service monitors.
MyNotify only subscribes to a list of App notifications, as shown in App notifications.
MyNotify does not access any other information.
2. What are the default monitored app notifications?
By default, MyNotify monitors:
GMail for emails, Messaging for Texts and MMS messages, Phone for missed calls and GTalk.
These can be configured in App notifications.
3. Why is the Camera Flash / Movement / Proximity menu greyed out?
MyNotify checks your device hardware and greys out any items which are not supported.
