Notification led without triggering a system notification

Question

I would like to use the RBG notification LED (where available) as a signal, for example imagine I want to flash red very quickly 3 times the LED when you are using my app and battery gets bellow 5% (silly example but you get the picture).

I know how to do this with a system notification but is there any way to do this without triggering it? You can programmatically launch it and then discard it but is there any way to completely avoid using Notification?

@Snicolas please carefully read my question, is there any way to completely avoid using Notification? — MariusBudin, Dec 30 '13 at 15:40

The only way to completely avoid using Notification in this case would be to use Manufacturer SDK (if exists - and this is not likely), but even if... you need to treat every device separately because of different SDKs (I guess you don't want to do this).

it seems to be the only way ATM so I'll take a no for answer – MariusBudin Dec 31 '13 at 15:55
