This might have been addressed but i got a new moto g5 plus recently to replace my perfectly serviceable but rather elderly moto first generation and after days of google searches there seems to be no way to activate the notification light that i am used to seeing pulsing to let me know i have new messages or voicemail.

Enable moto g5 plus hidden light in your android phone with simple steps follow these steps still end you will enable your phone.
You cannot enable it without rooting as it is os based coded programe which can only be enabled after rooting as it will break the code but its not necesarry in moto g 5 plus to enable led notification light as they have provided with you the screen gesture so that without using a button you can see the notifications whenver you pick up the phone.
Motorola uses moto display to push notifications to your phone now.
