Using Handscent but want stock TW text notifications - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I installed Handcent again and I like it but miss the old text notification that would go across the top of the lockscreen. I could tap on that and unlock the phone and go right to the message instead of unlocking it, pulling down the task bar, and tapping the notification. Is there any way to just use Handcent as the app but keep the stock popup notifcations?

I receive the text notifications across the top of the screen with handscent..there is a setting in handscent that allows this..go to settings..notification settings..custom notification settings..turn off privacy mode and you should receive your notifications just like the stock app

Isn't that going to show the message content though? I don't want people to be able to see the message with the phone locked. This is what I want:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Even with that privacy option disabled, if I come to the phone after I get a message all I have at the top is a tiny icon like this:
I like the stock function because it says what time it came in, lets you tap it and go directly to the message on unlock, and I'm just used to it.

I am also using Handcent as my default messaging app. Having what you're asking for would be a nice feature, but wouldn't tapping that notification bring you to the stock messaging app? If so, what would be the point of having Handcent?

I thought maybe there was a setting in there that replicated the TW stuff, that's all. Or maybe there would be a way to reassign the function and have it point to Handcent instead.
Honestly the only thing really like right now is that I can change the LED color and flashing speed because the stock flashing rate is too damn slow. I guess I'll try one of those apps that lets you handle LED functions again, but last time I tried it didn't do anything.
