I'm an OnePlus 7 Pro user and this phone is missing a led notification but you have a nice opportunity to change it, please add the option to Horizon lights to flash for a specified amount of time
Small update:
In my opinion AOD in OnePlus is unnecessary. OnePlus introduced Ambient Display and it should be developed and improved. This is what distinguishes you from other well-known companies. Buying OnePlus X (I've used this phone for over four years) I really liked the Ambient Display, after receiving the notification the screen pulsed for some time (and has a notification LED), so I think that the return to this solution and adding Horizon Lights to it would be brilliant and that's what I miss in OnePlus 7 Pro. Personally I don't use sound notifications and vibrations because I have a smartband (the smartband vibrates upon notification).
How it should work based on the experience of Amient Display from OnePlus X:
After receiving the notification, Horizon Lights and the application icon should appear on the screen. After a while, the screen should go out and after 10 seconds the process should repeat of course, after a few minutes (e.g. 10 minutes) the screen should not pulsate anymore, because any of us after a long time of not using it will simply take it to check fb, msg, e-mails etc. Of course if your phone is screen down or in your pocket Horizon Lights should not work.
That's why I think you should consider my idea.

4/30 Update: Thanks for sharing this idea. We have seen it often requested around the Community.
Basically, we see this request being about “never letting me miss any important notifications”. Besides the solutions based on sound and vibration, Horizon Light should serve just as one of the visual solutions (same as the Always On Display feature requested above).
Taking the OnePlus 7 Pro as an example: according to the analytics of our product usage, on average, our users spend at least five hours on their smartphones per day and check their messages every fifteen minutes. In other words, it's unlikely that the majority of our users will miss essential notifications without noticing them almost instantly. That being said, it is definitely a "MUST-HAVE" for some of you. Though we have deciced to prioritise the implementation of AOD at the moment. We have placed this in our product backlog and will revisit this sometime later.

Hello bagufix, thanks for sharing this idea in our IDEAS platform.
We have seen it often requested around the Community. Actually, this idea shares the same principle as the Always on Display (AOD) one. They are just two different forms/solutions.
Since most of our explanation about the AOD idea can be applied to yours, please read our reply here. As with the idea linked in the last sentence, we’ll continue to monitor our testing and we’ll update you and the community about our conclusions.

This would be the best alternative for the missing notification LED and the missing always on display.
EDIT:
It's a whole disappointment from OnePlus' side.
3 of 5 Ideas are not adpoted.
2 of 5 are "under consideration". But if you read the Marketing-Text on the AoD Idea closely, you see that they won't implement it in near future. And it will never be implemented for the 7 and 7T Series. Words like "you use your phone 5 hours a day" or "you have sound and vibration as notification" are just empty Marketing phrases.
In short they want to tell you: we are not going to implement it for this phone interation.
And a little side note. You guys say it uses too much battery?
I've been using MIUI on my OnePlus 7 Pro. And had the Always on display for 12 hours a day on. Guess what? It only took about 10% of my battery (~1%/hour).
For normal people it won't be such an impact because many people end the day with more than 20-30% battery. So even with AOD it would still be 10-20% for an average user (gamers are excluded).
A little look in the future: OnePlus will release a new phone (maybe not the 8-Series) with an AOD out of the box. Why? Because we would buy it, just because of the AOD. So the Marketing-Department will tell OnePlus to either not include it in 7-Series (and give excuses why it's not possible), or they will include it a year or two later. Like they do with Software-Updates when a new Android Versions comes out. Take a closer look at the Android 10 update. It took months to roll it out for 6-Series and 5-Series phones.

Love this idea. Speaking of edges, have you ever considered edge navigation? Check out my idea [e]1f60a[/e][e]1f44d[/e]
