I have a nexus 4 with android kitkat and i want to know how can i recieve the notifications like on ios : on ios you can read the message that you recieved on top of the screen without pulling down the notification center so is there anyway to have the same functionality on android ?
Knock yourself out.

Hi guys, i was using a stock samsung galaxy S2 android and moved into something brilliant and way better ( Pure ICS ROM)
there is only 1 thing i miss from the touchwiz Galaxy s2, and it is the notification icon that you get when an SMS is received or when a phone call is received and you miss it.
I am talking about the red circle that popups on the lockscreen on stock samsung galaxy S2 for unread SMS and missed calls.
I would like to know if there is an app or apk that could bring that SMS/phone notification icon on the lockscreen once again. That was way nice to see if i missed a call clicking just 1 button.
The only thing that came close to that is an app called notifier pro plus, that creates a banner on the lockscreen, but it has some flaws, because sometimes you are using web browser and doing other things and the banner popups not only on the lockscreen but everywhere
nobody?
In ICS, the notification bar can be pulled down on the lockscreen, so you don't need them to show on the lockscreen. Just pull down your notifications.

You can buy widget locker and use any widgets on lockscreen

I have been searching around for a solution of the above question myself, and found that everyone keeps saying to use the notification bar etc - not really helpful, and doesn't answer the question
I found a free lock screen app called 91Locker which will display a notification for unread messages and missed calls on the lock screen, plus a few other nifty features
Hope this helps anyone else that comes this issue
Lockscreen notifications
Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky here, creator of NotifierPro.
You may want to try our last app LockerPro, it is a lockscreen replacement with stacking notifications.
Regards.
Hi,
I was using Motorola Fire XT before this and yesterday bought a Nexus 5. Everything works great, except for a privacy concern.
When I get messages on Whatsapp or BBM, the pull down from the notifications still shows the entire message text, which was not the case on Whatsapp for android 2.3.5.
I am using Applock for locking BBM and Whatsapp, but it only asks for passwords when someone opens the app, they can still read the message in the notifications bar without unlocking the app. I've tried pulling up the notifications bar with 2 fingers, but it can be undone by pulling down with 2 fingers.
Is there any way to disable the message preview for Whatsapp and BBM??
Anyone with anything on this??? THis is a real privacy concern for locking messages!!!
BUMPP!!!!!
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and I flashed the factory image for Android Lollipop. I like the clean design but I don't really like the heads-up notifications. You know, the white pop up at the top that covers 25% of your screen. I'm trying out QKSMS and I see a little icon when I get a message, that's enough for me so I don't need an extra notification. It also sometimes pops up when I receive something from Facebook Messenger, but not always for some reason, which is also quite annoying. So is there any way to disable the heads-up notifications? Thanks in advance!
Agreed. I prefer notifications to be discreet. I don't want the contents of private texts to pop-up onscreen if I'm showing something to a friend/co-worker. It would be nice to be able to choose between the Kitkat style of scrolling ticker text in the status bar and L's heads-up notifications. Or to turn them both off and simply have the app icon appear in the status bar, requiring a notification shade pull-down to view the contents.
Choice is good.
I dislike it because often I can't deal with the notification straight away, but still want it in the notification draw for later. With these heads up notifications (which I get for EvolveSMS) I can't get it out the way without it being completely dismissed, it's annoying.
This could be solved with simply adding the function that swiping up will send it to the notification draw
Yeah I'm currently inclined to stick with KK until I know that the worst aspects of Lollipop can be controlled. Obviously in the absence of Xposed on ART it's difficult to make little tweaks here and there.
Heads-up is right at the top of my list. I have always liked how notifications NEVER attack my screen space in Android 2.0-4.4 and I'm not about to go along with a regression to iPhone-like behaviour. When I can disable it globally or on a per-app basis I'll be much more comfortable with the idea of upgrading.
My other biggest concern: The old Silent mode functionality was to allow user-configured audible alarms, while shutting off all other audible notifications and silencing all vibrations. The new modes, you have to choose between a None that also silences alarms, or a Priority mode that lets vibrations leak through.
It's kind of hilarious actually, this is the first time in history that I've been dragging my feet on an Android upgrade when all my less techie friends are upgrading. In the past I'd be proud to be the first one to upgrade and show it off to everyone stuck on the old version.
So, a few weeks later... Are there any ROMs or mods that allow users to disable the heads up feature entirely across the board?

I hate heads up, they are very intrusive, i prefer something more discreet...
I apololgize for bumping this old thread, but has there been any update with this? I'm looking for an SMS app that allows you to disable the heads up style pop-up notifications, but also allows you to reply from notifications. Textra and ChompSMS allow you to disable heads up notifications on Lollipop, but they dont allow you to reply from notification (like EvolveSMS, QKSMS). I'm looking for an app that incorporates both features. Any luck?
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!
Give it a try:

Hello.
Moving from a Pebble Steel watch to an LG G Watch R, I am missing a few key items that is making me re-think about my LG and going back to the Pebble.
One of the most important, key functions I liked was how notifications were stored on the Pebble. Whether I received a text message, WhatsApp, FB message, etc, they remained on my Pebble until I cleared it's local history.
Why is that important? Example scenario: Wife sends me a text during my work day to buy some groceries. She also lists out in the text message the items I need to buy. After work, I arrive at the shop and with no need to pull the phone out, I just scroll down to the notification and read the text message sent earlier in the day from my Pebble.
But in Android Wear, notifications seem to disappear altogether when dismissed. Unless I'm missing something, is this true (that notifications cannot be recalled back later in the day)? I'd hate to return my LG G Watch R as I do like other aspects to it, but the Pebble Steel still represents the most compelling smartwatch proposition by providing functionality I actually need and use.
Thanks in advance for your help!
The persistent notifications will be present in Android wear lollipop...
Just swipe down the notification which you want to recall... Swiping right removes it... Swiping down hides it

Are you talking about the undo dismiss feature?
I've also had several incidents of incoming texts consolidating hangouts messages. When that happens, I can no longer reply to individual messages.
khyasad - For this case, if you share a list in google keep, your wife can edit a shopping list. It's even more handy than reading a text, as you can check off items as you get them.
in nougat, you could set app priority for notifications, but of course Google in all its wisdom completely removed a feature to turn off a "feature" that so many of us can't stand. if you disable heads up via adb, it ruins the ambient display in that it won't light up when a message comes through anymore... don't ask me why, but Google is full of morons coding nowadays. anyone have any idea?

First time in android lollipop devices introduces heads up (Peeking) notification feature. When enable this feature, you can see notification on home screen. In android Oreo, you can also reply from home screen without open app. In android 8.1 Oreo devices, you can disable interruptions of app if you don’t want to show pop up notifications on screen, sound and vibrate when receive any app notification. Different android device has slightly different settings to turn off peeking notification in android 8.0 and 8.1 Oreo. Also disable heads up notifications on android Oreo 8.1
