>> why?
Same as the 'why' for many Android apps. The API is huge, the potentials on different devices are barely countable and Google's developer advice is sadly lacking. This inevitably results in developers forgetting things like LED colours etc.
(I'm a fan of Android, I wouldn't buy a phone without it at the moment, but it really is a weak point. Especially when compared to iOS where Apple seems to really nail home how an app is supposed to behave on their platform)
No iOS devices even hae a notification LED, so how can Apple "nail home how an app is supposed to behave?" Or is your point that you'd assume Apple would accomplish that if it had the LED?
Apologies. I mustn't have made myself clear. I was referring to documentation of features in general. One could of course extrapolate this to how Apple would handle LEDs, but it wasn't really my point.
To clarify I really do like Android, I just wish documentation of recommended behaviour was brought front and centre.
