PERMISSIONS
* WAKE_LOCK: required to turn on the screen. One wakelock is acquired and immediately released, so there is no hidden akku drainage.
* Once installed, the app needs to be registered as a notification listener within Android. This is a requirement on Android if an app wants to react on notifications. Glimpse Notifications will not read or process your notifications your notifications. Only the originating app is compared against the white list to decide whether the screen should be turned on.
Please see the screenshots how the notification listener registration works.
WHAT'S YOUR BUSINESS MODEL?
A question I'm asking myself with any free app: Well, there isn't one to be honest. This is my first published Android app -- I wrote it to learn developing for the Android platform, and obviously because I was annoyed to fiddle with the power button too much.
Perhaps I add a way to donate in the future, but I don't intend to live on this app. So just go ahead and enjoy it!
COMPETITION
Existing potential alternatives on Google Play are far to elaborate considering what I need. Also, they typically bring their own lock screen which I just don't need.
