Floatifications (Trial)
Free ThemeAbout Floatifications (Trial)
Floatifications is a new and intuitive way to view your notifications. It can take a notification from any app and present it to you as a floating icon, similar to Facebook chat heads, but for any application. It even works in fullscreen mode (in Games, Youtube etc) and is fully customizable.
This is a full 14 day trial to give you plenty of time to get to grips with everything Floatifications has to offer :)
The unlocker can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.floating.notificationsunlocker
=========
Ticker
For this to show you need to enable it per app, long press the last icon in the app list to see how.
Then in Settings choose if it should show in fullscreen, or non fullscreen apps. Or both :)
Themes
Themes for FN can be found both on the Play Store (search "FN Theme") or on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283623)

App integration - Android 4.2 or Lower
FN is not able to make notifications disappear from your status bar. An app cannot dismiss another apps notification.
However, if you want any of your favourite apps to either make their status bar notification disappear when you dismiss the corresponding Floating Notification, or vica versa, you can point them to this page where they can add Floatifications integration:

Halo
This is NOT Halo. There are no popups of full apps and nor will there ever be. If that is what you are after unfortunately you will not find it here.
HOWEVER, if you are running a custom ROM which supports Halo then you there is a setting to open any notifications from FN in a Halo window.

Samsung Owners
- Some Samsung devices might start reading aloud, this is a known Samsung bug, it is not something I can fix however a number of possible fixes can be found here: http://goo.gl/mnzjI And you can see Samsung's response to the issue here http://goo.gl/l1E3d
- Swipe keyboard input on some Samsung devices might stop working (typing only), again, this is a known Samsung bug, it is not something I can fix
If you receive no notifications
Do you have other accessibility services enabled? If so disable them, enable Floatifications, then re enable them. If this fails to work please email me and I'll help you set it up.
Known issues (not caused by this app)
- If you are on 4.2 and using the screen on option, when you phone is locked, instead of the usual screen timeout of 10 - 40 seconds (depending on device) it'll instead use your normal display timeout (the one you set in your display settings) - this could result in battery drain is your normal timeout is long ( >1 min)
- If you are on Sense 5 and using the lock screen option, any touch can unlock the phone, this is a known Sense issue

Why can't we disable the double tap to move chathead function as it takes ages to get it to move, virtually impossible on my galaxy s4 i9505

Whenever I try to use this on my old phone (Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro) the app crashes. I recommend this app for phones with android jelly bean and lower. Not for old phones. Otherwise good app.

Can't figure out why but it doesn't always work. Sometimes I get the chathead and other times I don't. Also the chathead often only turns invisible instead of going away. So it'll still pop up the text when nothing is there. Galaxy Note Edge lollipop.

You should try to get the license to use the chat head like facebook messenger that would really improve this app, and if you do ill but the full version unlock thing

As soon as I opened this app it said the trial had expired even though I had never used it before. It's a shame as the app looked promising but I refuse to pay before I can try it out first.

Is this the most bugged app in play store LOL?!!, even though I untick the disable for an app it still shows on float wtf?!! And the behavior, delay seems to be somewhat crazy and why cant I throw or place the notification on other places or sides. Worst app notifier ever!!! If theres a negative number review for this I will rate this -9.

Ability to move chathead freely within the screen rather than double tab to move it. It's a hassle. An example is how flynx app works. Pls consider.

Not sure why there is no Demo to watch after the first one. I thought the Demo button was it but it does not work. It sucks as far as I can tell for now.
