Changing screen brightness in android using notification shortcut

This is a small TIP for android users. You can increase the brightness of your android phone from anywhere using the notification bar. Follow these steps and see the magic

1. Open the notification drawer just a little bit where just the bottom of the pulldown bar is showing.
2. Swipe your finger from left to right for increasing the brightness
3. Swipe your finger from right to left for decreasing the brightness.

Video of adjusting the brightness using notification drawer is shown below. A Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 is used in the video.

Note: I don’t know if it works with all android devices but it works well in Samsung galaxy devices. Try and comment if it is working in your device.
