I’m planning on making on making a prototype of a phone case that brings back the android LED light that shines a specific color depending on notifications received by the user so you can just glance at phone. I’m wondering if there is a way to see what apps have sent notifications to the user?

On a side note, would it be possible to see what apps a user has to allow LED customization? Specific apps = specific lights system.

In general[1], there’s no public API to discover anything about other apps installed on the device. That would be a big privacy fail.

There’s actually a tiny crack in the armor with the UIApplication.canOpenURL function, but it wouldn’t help with what you are trying to do.
