I'm on lollipop official image. When I'm using the phone and I get a notification, it shows at the top which I love now. However is there a way to dismiss it without swiping it away? If I swipe it, it no longer shows in the drop down notification tray. Right now I have to wait for it to disappear on its own.

I'm running lollipop (Pure.White if you're interested) and its near perfect. The challenge I'm currently facing is around Quick Settings not being customizable, forcing me to go back to Power Toggles. But, when using Power Toggles and a couple alternatives, the toggles show up on the lock screen. Anybody come across alternatives that don't show on lock screen?
I believe this is theoretically possible. The notification telling me my Pebble watch is connected shows in the drawer, but not on the lock screen. Thanks all.
OK, sorted this out on my own. For anyone else, you want to make sure the app is using the lowest priority notification. In Power Toggles, that's "Not pinned and no icon" under Notification Position. You lose the ability to have it permanently at the top of your notifications, but that's minor.
On the S6 when you get a notification on WhatsApp for example, the notification blocks the whole notification bar and stays there for an annoyingly long time
So until the bar goes away you can't swipe down the notification bar.
What settings would I need to change in order to fix this? Maybe stop it blocking the whole notification bar every time I get a message.
Sometimes I get more than one message in a row so it will be there for a long time.
There is probably a really obvious answer for this but I have yet to find it
Any ideas?

Its a feature that sadly comes by default in Lollipop and there is no option to disable it. Unless the app specifically allows you to disable Headsup notifications theres nothing to be done. We are sadly stuck until Google or Samsung realize this is a ****ty way to receive notifications and gives us the damn notification ticker from kitkat back..
I just rooted my S6 just to get rid of this stupid heads up.
I found a guide using SQLite editor.
Open folder File then: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Choose Global and find heads_up_notifications_enable and set to 0 instead of 1. Save and reboot.

Not sure if you are aware of this but you can dismiss the message by swiping to the side. Similar to how you would if you were in the actual notification shade.
Took me awhile before I figured this out. I'm much less annoyed by it now.
So theres no way to get the kit kat notifications without root?
Whenever a new message or other notification comes in, the message briefly appears at the top of the screen. To make it go away, you have to touch the bottom of the notification and slide it upwards. To me, this is really awkward and annoying - the new notification blocks the top of the screen which is where the Chrome address bar is, and also sliding it upwards to dismiss it does not feel very natural or easy to do. I usually end up waiting a few seconds for it to go away on its own, because I would have to use my other hand to accurately grab it and drag it upwards. This is probably my single biggest issue with EMUI 4.1.
I think it would be much better if you could just swipe left or right to dismiss a notification. And be able to swipe it away from any position, not a specific "grab point". Is there a way to change this behavior with a theme or something? Also, how do the notifications behave in EMUI 5?
its EMUI Nothing Can be Changed My Friend ! .
That setting is per App as far as i can tell. go to the app info and click notifications, then it's under 'banners'. turn it off. I dont think there is a master setting so have to go one by one.
That's not an EMUI style; that's the Android standard. All of the "banner" notifications have the temporary dismiss by swiping upwards on it. The difference between that and swiping it to the side is the notification will still remain in the notification tray versus dismissing the notification completely. If you go to Settings > Notification panel & status bar > Notification center, it tells you every app that has notifications permissions and which ones they are. Just turn off banner and you'll be fine.
though its a feature, it deffinitely is a pain..think now it is removed in emui5??
Banner Notifications are still a thing in Nougat. Maybe it's because my old phone was running Kit Kat, where I don't think they existed, but I had to manually enable them in each app I wanted to see them in EMUI 4.1. It's still the same in EMUI 5.0.
I would prefer to have text messages turn on the screen so I can see it message briefly without having to interact with the phone.
If that a thing on this phone?
Currently I get a notification on the always on screen, but it's just an icon. I have to unlock the phone and then swipe down and then expand the notification. Seems like alot of extra steps...

Yeah i miss that with my pixel. You can get glimpse
When notifications are swiped to a side there used to be an option to open that notification in split screen /pop up. It has gone missing now. Anyone notice that or a fix?
