Plug in your phone and wake the screen, and this charging animation live wallpaper plays right away, then settles into a calm, still wallpaper when you unplug.

Why a wallpaper
Most charging animation apps need an accessibility service, a notification permission or an overlay permission to draw over your screen, and they stop working when the phone puts them to sleep. Charge Glow asks for none of that. A wallpaper is kept running by Android itself, so there is nothing to grant and nothing running in the background on your behalf.

10 charging animations, 5 unlocked from the start
• Neon Pulse: a neon ring fills to your charge level while a comet circles it.
• Liquid Fill: a battery silhouette filling with a moving liquid surface.
• Energy Rings: rings pulsing outward from a bolt.
• Battery Cell: segmented battery bars fill to your charge level.
• Heartbeat Line: an ECG-style sweep travels across a glowing line.
• Aurora Waves: three flowing ribbons ripple around your battery percentage. (unlock)
• Lightning Bolt: a pulsing lightning bolt sends sparks outward. (unlock)
• Particle Orbit: dots orbit your battery percentage on tilted paths. (unlock)
• Bubble Rise: bubbles rise through a vessel filled to your charge level. (unlock)
• Circuit Trace: light travels along circuit traces toward your battery percentage. (unlock)
Swipe through every style full screen any time, no unlock needed. Pick one of the five unlocked styles and set it with one tap through the system wallpaper chooser, or unlock a locked style permanently by watching one short ad.

Make it yours
• Six colour themes for every animation: Original, Rose, Amber, Mint, Ocean and Violet.
• Play it for 30 seconds, a minute, or the whole time your phone charges.
• Show or hide the battery percentage on your battery charging animation wallpaper.
• Battery details at a glance: charger type, time to full, temperature, voltage, current and health, where your phone reports them.

Built with restraint
• Real battery percentage, never a decorative number.
• Animates each time you plug in or wake the screen while charging, then holds still to save power.
• A switch that actually turns it off: off means the wallpaper stays still.
• Remove it from inside the app any time: go back to your phone's default wallpaper or pick another one. No need to uninstall.
• No account and no sign-in. The app shows a small banner on the picker screen and sends standard crash and usage diagnostics.

Good to know
The charging animation plays when the screen is on. Some phones light the screen when a charger connects and some do not; if yours does not, tap the power button or lift the phone. A few manufacturers keep their own wallpaper on the lock screen; in that case Charge Glow plays on the home screen. Charge Glow does not change how fast your phone charges.

No permission prompts. The wallpaper reads the battery level without accessibility, notification or overlay access. The picker uses internet access for ads and standard crash and usage diagnostics.

Looking for a charging animation for your home screen that shows your battery percentage? Charge Glow gives you ten styles, six colour themes and a wallpaper that stays out of the way. ## Rankings - #1,424,355 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.smarttoolsdev.charginganimation.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Charge Glow Charging Animation](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.charginganimations) — 424 users - [BatteryGlow: Charge Animation](https://chrome-stats.com/d/mobi.elfion.battery.charging.animation) — 128 users - [Charging Animation - BatteryZ](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.battery.charge.effects) — 7,309 users - [Charging Animation: Battery 3D](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chargingapp.animation) — 5,416 users - [Battery Charging Animation '24](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.redart.battery.animation.charger.animationart) — 2,063 users - [ChargeGlow Charging Animation](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chargeglow.battery_charging_effect) — 495 users - [Battery Charging Animation](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.applauders.chargeanimation) — 181 users - [Battery Charging Animation App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.battery.animation.batterycharging.charginganimation.chargingscreen) — 1,767,396 users - [Battery Charging Animation App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.batterycharging.animation.app.batteryanimation.fourk.livewallpaper) — 21,526 users - [Charging Animation Photo set](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.charginganimation.lockscreen.wallpapers.batteryanimationeffects.app) — 83,166 users - [Glow Charge: Battery Animation](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chargingshow.batteryanimation.batteryhealth.batterycharging) — 2,916,710 users - [Battery Charging Animation](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.charging.animation) — 4,565 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smarttoolsdev.charginganimation)
