Aside from Dashclock, any other way to get access to notifications?
I'd prefer to have a swipe down gesture ala iOS access to notifications.
Huh? You just swipe down from the top and your notifications are there.
What is this iOS you speak of?

That only works if your lock method is "Slide". If you have any form of password/pattern, then the notification shade is blocked as a security feature.
Speaking of which, if the OP wants that functionality, then either they need to set security to "slide", or if they still want slide notification AND password lock, then it kind of defeats the point...
Besides, dashclock doesn't really show much until you slide downwards to display the full list anyway so it's already sort of along the right lines!
May want to give this a spin; the option for displaying notifications on the lockscreen is pretty handy.

I use LockerPro Lockscreen. Banner notifications are similar to iOS and you can choose to use the banner notifications even while using the phone normally as well, which is cool if you use immersive or expanded desktop mode. Also has ability to add your own shortcuts/apps/widgets and then your whole app drawer as well.
Xposed with "notifcation mod" module does exactly that. Allow you to pull down the notification shade and even respond to the notification if the notification supports it. If the action requires additional user input then the pin screen is presented before the user is allowed to proceed. Works awesome and since it still forces PIN entry, I think very secure. Not private, but secure.

Would it be possible to place an Edit button into the Notification Window, For example, next to the Clear Button which clears all your notifications? What it would do is let you edit the Notification bar how you want (Change Notification colors and things like that). I know you can already do that in the Spare Parts App In Superbad CyanogenMod but I was just curious if that was a more convenient alternative.

If you ask me, thats already extremely convenient. You're lucky you have the option to do it from the phone.
I prefer it the way it is=p it would be annoying having to see that every time I get a text...
On the other hand, adding some sort of editable region on top of the notification bar could be a neat idea. Like for example, I would put a toggle for brightness so that I could have easy acess to it without needing to go to home and use a widget. The behold 2 and galaxy s have this little power control thingy in the notification bar to toggle brightness, wifi, gps, etc and it would be cool to port that over.

that would be sweet!
The only picture I could find of the behold 2 was in the pdf manual It's small and on page 10 if anyone cares. http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm30312.pdf
I think a shortcut to spare parts from settings would do the trick.
How about putting the power control widget on the notification bar next to the operator name? That would be cool and convient.
What I wouldn't mind seeing is a button on each notification for selective clearing of notifications...
Specifically on the G1 when I'm installing many apps from the market then I have unread emails and sms, I want to clear up all the installed notifications without wiping all the notifications. :\

I'm in complete agreement. If there was some way to have selective clearance of the notification area without actually launching said notification, that would be fantastic.

I am in agreement with both of these! I'm starting to learn Android from the ground up and if nobody beats me to it, I'm gonna work on this.
Well Im glad that me posting this has made some positive ripples in the community.
I just found this out
disabling the badges is up to you. For most people it's convenient. But to a select few it might be distracting, annoying, ugly , whatever.
ALSO if you longer see badges and you want to see them again skip my little story \/
I disable notifications for text because my friends don't know what privacy is . But they still find out that I have new messages. They're badges on the launcher, app drawer, notification bar when you pull it down and look at your recent apps and when you hold home. Even if you disable notifications there is still a small badge that tells you how many txt, emails, etc you have. I found a way to turn that stupid **** off.
If you use ADW (could be any third party launcher I still haven't tried any other out) the badges obviously disappear from the app drawer . But they also disappear from the notification bar and when you hold home . The only place they still show up is the lock screen. I download widget locker but you can do whatever. Also if you noticed that your counter badges disappeared uninstalling (if any) third party launchers could fix that.

Just don't let your mates use your phone! Or put a pattern lock on
Or just get the facial recognition App. Then they won't be able to get into anything

Maybe I'm a bit lost. What do you mean by "Notification badges" with the stock Sense, I never remember seeing ANY notifications other than on the lock screen and notification bar.
To disable messages on the lockscreen, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Uncheck display message text.
And personally, I think your friends suck. If they're the kinds of people who would snoop over your phone to see what they are doing then I wouldn't invite them over. Just password lock your phone, and don't give it to them, it's that simple.
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:

XDA thread
So now that we have the new cm12 officially released i am having some issues with the new way notifications and the lock screen works.
To explain:
Whats annoying to me is that when i set my phone to vibrate only (so set sound profile to all) but with the settings to not show the messages on the lock screen, i cant see if i have any notifications at all.
The top notification bar will instead show my provider instead of the icons of lets say whatsapp.
Is there a way to change this?
Next to that have to admit that the priority thing is confusing to me,, i'm never sure what means what and what will actually happen with which setting.
The other issues is the lockscreen, i have a pattern protection setup, and waking the device up should bring me to this screen and not an extra useless lock screen where i have to swipe up so i can do my pattern.
I know its nice if you need quick access to an app like camera, but i dont want it.
anyway to change this?
i have no answer, but i also would like to change the way notifications appear on the lock screen.
i miss the icons in the notification bar. i don't want to see a large rectangle letting me know if there is a text or other notification.
the speed at which the pattern appears is cute the first time, but after that it's excruciating. would like it to just appear.
My Nexus 5 has not been rooted, but if I need to root it, I will do so. I would like to be able to filter on a per-app basis all notifications. For example, I have Ultimate Rotation Control and Custom Quick Settings installed. Both place notifications on the lock screen. I would like to eliminate these notifications from the lock screen without blocking other notifications from these apps or other lock screen notifications. If possible, I would like to be able to save the filters as profiles so I can easily change them.
Can anyone recommend an app for per-app notification filtering?

Xnotifications. Or GravityBox. But for those you'll need both root and the Xposed Framework.
Before you do any of those though, doesn't your stock ROM give you the option to block certain notifications on the lockscreen?

There is no mechanism to specifically block notifications from appearing on the lock screen. It's possible to "hide sensitive content", but the notification still appears, taking up just as much space. Other than that, the only choice is to block all notifications. It's an incredibly stupid oversight for android to not provide a mechanism for per-app blocking of lock screen notifications. Another gripe is the silly requirement for a notification to be in the notification bar or solely to enable an app to listen in the background. There should be a setting to hide such notifications. (Hiding should be the default.)

I have the option to hide such notifications in the lock screen. But I'm running a custom ROM. Seeing that you're not rooted, I'm assuming your still on stock also. Which is pretty surprising seeing that you have a Nexus 5. Which is almost synonymous with root and custom ROMS.
