Hi, I'm looking for a decent app that allows my whats apps, texts, missed calls, Facebook and messenger as well as emails to appear on the lock screen and light up. I've tried a few and can't find any that work too well, I am also looking for an app to allow me to change the LED light colour for notifications. I tried a few again and didn't work too well, one particularly still kept the LED flashing even after the notification was accessed in the app, it only disappeared when the notification bar was pulled down.
Thanks.
Try NiLS Lockscreen widget, works perfect for me for Lockscreen notifications.
BTW: In lollipop update coming native notifications on Lockscreen is a built in function.
As for me NiLS and gravity screen give a perfect combination, notifications and display turning on when taking mobile out of my pocket
Thanks, found some apps that do the job okay but not great, also having issues with getting the LED notification light to blink when in do not disturb mode. Apps I'm currently using is Light flow lite for control over LED notifications, Floatify and Screen notifications.
I feel like the Lollipop update for the Ascend mate 7 will be a while!
I'm having very inconsistent lock screen notifications on Nougat after the update. I'm on the stock theme with Magazine Unlock.
Update: It appears as if new notifications display on the lock screen. As soon as you unlock the screen, then re-lock it, the notifications disappear from the lock screen even if they're still active in the notification tray. This is not how lock screen notifications are supposed to work, AFAIK and as far as I remember from Marshmallow and other ROMs as well.
Global:
When device is locked: Show all notification content
If device is locked, prevent typing (...) [unchecked]
Screen lock secured with PIN, fingerprint unlock enabled
App specific (In this example, 'Slack'):
Allow notifications [checked]
Display on the lock screen [checked]
When locked: Hide notification content [checked] (tried this set both ways, no difference)
I don't see any lock screen notifications with these settings. In the case of Slack above, I have active notifications in my status bar and I don't see them on the lock screen.
I went to bed last night with nothing displaying, woke up and I saw Calendar, Gmail, etc on my lock screen. Used my phone a bit, re-locked display, turned screen on, and back to no notifications. This morning though, Tasker is now showing in my lock screen (as it should) but none of my other apps are showing on the lock screen.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
I have a similar problem.
I have just upgraded to Nougat, EVA-L09C432B360, and I have no notification on status bar on screenlock. I find it annoying. Didn't find any work around.
Once the screen is unlocked I find the notification on status bar.
I dont want to have the notification displayed as a banner but only in status bar.
It's very annoying. I didn't have this problem on Marshmallow with the VUi Material Design theme, maybe once he gets a version for EMUI 5.0 it'll start working again.
I've just upgraded to B378, but still I got no notification in status bar of the lock screen ( nor aquamail or whatsapp). It might be the applications in fault here.
I just got a brand new Honor 8 which immediately upgraded to Nougat, and this seems to be the default behaviour for lockscreen notifications on EMUI, not an issue or a bug.
Since EMUI is heavily iOS inspired, and this is the notification behaviour on iOS then they copied it. I suggest trying a different lockscreen app until Huawei changes this.
That is caused by the theme used.
Go to themes, customize, lockscreen style, and be sure that you have selected #unlock with images"
I have only magazine unlock option. This did not solve the problem.
I'm having the exact same problem on my P10 lite (it came with Nougat out-of-the-box).
Has anyone figured this out? I don't have unlock with images option either..
As mentioned earlier - EMUI does not use the standard Nougat lockscreen notification actions. Do not expect it to work like stock android. The only way around it is to do one of these two options:
1. Install a 3rd party launcher (be careful, some don't play nicely with fingerprint/pin security)
2. Install Nils Lock Screen Notification app from the Play Store. This app does exactly what you want and lets you keep the stock lock screen.
Had the same issue with Gmail notifications using an Honor 8. The solution I found was hidden in Gmail Settings.
Open Gmail settings
Click on your email account(s) under the General settings
Make sure Notifications is checked
Select Inbox sound and vibrate
Make sure Label notifications is checked
This was the missing piece for me: Make sure the Notify for every message is checked
Screenshots of Gmail Settings
Also make sure you have changed the default email app to Gmail. Settings, Apps, Settings (wheel that appears at the bottom of the screen), Default app settings, Email - Gmail.
I had the same problem before. To fix it you have to enable the magazine unlock after apply the theme.
Hi, I'm a proud new owner of a HTC U11 and it's my first Android phone. I am having a bit of trouble with the stock messages app as the notifications are not showing on my lock screen so I don't know what type of notification I have received until I look on the menu page and check all my apps. The led light flashes when I get a text and the phone vibrates but no notification on the lock screen. Apps like whatsapp work perfectly fine and show on the lock screen. I have checked the settings on notifications and everything is turned on (as far as I am aware). Does anyone have any advice on how to get the notification working or recommend a better SMS app for the few SMS that I still receive?
Thanks

what does it say if you look in Settings -> Apps -> Messages -> Notifications -> "On the lock screen"?
Hi,
When the SMS is received (to the samsung message) *, the sound of the notification is played, the icon is displayed on the AoD, but it also lights up and displays the Lock Screen.
Everywhere I'm looking at setting this status (display and lighting Lock Screen) to turn off .. will anyone advise? (I would like the notification to be displayed on the AoD after receipt of the SMS but Lock Screen not activated)
In the album, the application's settings and notifications are currently on the AoD / Lock Screen https://imgur.com/a/2JQBpE6
Google Message works as expected (= Notifications will appear on AoD after receiving new SMS, but Lock Screen will not light up)
** all notifications behave as they do (do not wake the Lock Screen), only the new SMS Lock Screen will wake up

Hello,
I'm currently having an issue with notifications on my OPPO A53 phone, after the v11.1 ColorOS / Android 11 update.
The problem is that I can't see the notification bubbles from Whatsapp nor any other app anymore, in the status bar, while the lock screen is on.
I've tried every possible combination of settings I could think of, but they still fail to show. Whatsapp has all the permissions and notification settings activated too. If the option "Wake screen when a notification is received" is activated, the screen does wake up (lock screen is on), but nothing is shown in the status bar.
Also, is there any way to change the color of the black semi-transparent background that appears when you pull down the notifications' drawer? I don't believe it was like this in the previous version (think it was fully transparent), and honestly I don't like the "new" one.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I updated to ColorOS 11 and my notifications works fine.
but have you encountered a problem with refresh rate?. mine is randomly changed to 60hz even though i set it to 90hz and on the same app.

Nope, the refresh rate is at 90 for me (just checked the settings).
These are the steps to reproduce the notifications' bug:
1. Open/unlock your phone.
2. Receive a whatsapp message from anyone
3. Check that you do see the bubble in the status bar since the phone is open
4. Press the power button to lock your phone
5. Press the power button to unlock your phone
6. Check the screen/status bar -> there is no bubble nor any other notification related to that unread whatsapp message.
