# Animated notification bell icons

> 4 free animated notification bell icons, including Notification, Notification V2 and Notification V3. For React, shadcn/ui and Lottie JSON, MIT licensed.

Bell icons that ring for new activity or switch between bell and bell-off. A short swing on the bell draws the eye to an unread count, and the toggling versions double as the mute control for a channel or thread.

Of the 4 icons, 2 loop continuously and 2 toggle between two states on click. Each one comes as a React component, a shadcn/ui component and a Lottie JSON animation with static SVGs, free for commercial use under the MIT license.

## FAQ

### Which animated notification bell icons are included?

4 icons: Notification, Notification V2, Notification V3 and Notification V4. All of them are free for personal and commercial projects under the MIT license, with no attribution required.

### How do I use these animated notification bell icons in React?

Install react-useanimations, add import notification from 'react-useanimations/lib/notification' and render <UseAnimations animation={notification} size={32} />. The icon plays its click toggle interaction and follows the text color. With shadcn/ui, run npx shadcn@latest add https://useanimations.com/r/notification.json instead.

### Can I use these animated notification bell icons without React?

Yes. Each icon is a Lottie JSON file at https://useanimations.com/icons/<id>.json (for example https://useanimations.com/icons/notification.json), playable with lottie-web, lottie-ios, lottie-android or Flutter's lottie package; static SVGs are on each icon page. None of them use expressions, so lottie-web's light build is enough.
