Custom Notifications...Can they be done?

My only complaint about the Droid is the seeming lack of options for notifications.

Is there a way, or an app, that would allow you to assign different notifications to emails vs texts vs missed calls?

Also, does anyone know if there's a way to set the phone to re-notify you periodically if you have a notification that has not been looked at? I tend to leave my phone sitting on my desk at work and would like it to let me know if I missed a call or text while I was away from my desk.

Ideally I'd like to silence email notifications, but have text and missed call notifications with unique ring tones for each, and I'd like the phone to renotify me every 10 minutes or so if I have a text or missed call waiting for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

As far as notifications for email and text, you go to your text app and set the notification... then go to your email app and set the notification...

as far as the missed call notifications, you may need someone else to help you with that as I don't know how to set that up.

Cool - that worked for the email and text notifications. I was trying to set them under the general setting area, but needed to go into each one separately.

If anyone knows about the missed call notification, I'll be all set!

Thanks Cajun83!
