I'm using the Nexus 5 with Lollipop and wanted to disable lock screen notifications for specific apps (but not the normal notifications that go in the notification bar). Is this possible? The only option I can find is one that disables the notifications for that specific app in both the lock screen and the notification bar which is not what I want.
TIA
You can hide the content of a notification on the lockscreen by going to settings->notifications->notifications on lockscreen, then select the app and you should see the options.

Thanks for the reply but I don't have that option. I'm using the Nexus 5 with Lollipop (OTA update). Build LRX210. The exact options I have are Settings->Sound & notification. I have attached screen shots of the settings I see under there.
Any ideas what's going on and why I'm seeing different settings to you?
Click on "App notifications", I was not sure, how it was named in English as I have German set as my phone language.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have already looked under there but there is nothing to control this. There is 2 or 3 settings under each app depending on the setting you have for When Device Is Locked.
I have set mine to Hide Sensitive Notification Content so see the attached image for what I see with this option enabled. If I change the setting to Show All Notification Content then a third option appears (as can be seen by the other attached image).
The third option does not remove the notification from the lock screen, it only removes the sensitive information so that's not what I wanted.
Any other thoughts?

I'm looking for a notification mod that would allow me to maintain the look of the lockscreen when I switch my phone on (Note 4 910f).
I've just updated to Lp 5.01 using this custom ROM and noticed the clock/weather/user info etc display is different when the phone is first switched to when it has been unlocked and I return to the lockscreen.
Please see the attachment.
The image on the left is from when I switch it on, and I see the full clock/weather display.
And the image on the right, shows the lockscreen after it's been unlooked and I return to the lockscreen, but the clock has been compressed, there's no weather, pedometer, user info etc.
I still want to receive email/text type notifications on the lockscreen and I still want status bar notifications for apps (like for example AF+ Firewall in this case).
I've tried to disable AF+ Firewall's notifications, but it disables them all (status bar and notification panel) by using "Settings -> Sounds and Notifications -> Application Notifications"
I just need something that displays notifications underneath the full sized clock.
Thank you for any help.

I don't know if this helps you: I use "lock screen clock mods" to alter the clock, then I prevent the notifications from showing on the lockscreen to then show them in "nils" (notifications on lockscreen) instead. This is what it looks like on both the locked and the unlocked lockscreen:http://imgur.com/UFFcdHg
Edit: I don't know is the nils part is necessary, it just looks best for me.

Thank you for the reply and help
I've just tried "lock screen clock mods", but whatever changes I make to the clock, it doesn't alter anything when I apply it (also rebooting).
I'm not sure what you mean by "nils", Is that altering a value to zero somewhere in the code?
I've also tried "NotifyClean", but that doesn't stop any notifications on the lock screen, but does when the phone is in use.

I disabled the notifications completely in the rom: "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked". They don't show on my (stock Sony) lock screen even when unlocked. With Nils I mean this app and I don't know why the mods don't work for you.

Yes, I know those settings.
I've just tried "Nils". It sort of works.
If I disable a specific apps in "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked", I loose the icon in the status bar, which I want to keep.
If I don't disable it, when on the lock screen, I get a notification at the top of the screen and a repeat in Nils.
I think something needs fixing in Lp, to do want I want it to do.
I think I need to go back to KK or wait for Lp 5.1.1. or M.
I'm reading online that under sounds and notifications -> lockscreen should be an option to "hide sensitive content" I don't have it. I have 3 options hide all, show all or don't show notifications.
I can still assign applications notifications to be sensitive or priority or off, but I have no way of hiding the content selectively.
Is there a trick or someone screwed up and this option is missing?
I have 2 S5 phones and it's not available on both of them.
anyone????
It sounds like you're on a stock touchWiz based rom.
I'm on CM12.1, Android 5.1.1. Mine is under Settings -> Notifications -> When Device is locked. I have the same exact three options you mention on top of your post. I don't see any ways to customize this any further. Here are the menu screen shots:

Exactly. I'm on stock ROM and I don't have that. I have "show all" instaed of "hide sensitive" Is this something that Samsung screwed up?
Is there a way to hide the notification contents displayed on the lock screen?
You can switch off the notifications in the lock screen per app, but it's a tedious process. I would be interested in an easier method as well.

Settings>Apps¬ification>Notifications management> on top right corner drop down toggle "Lock screen notifications".
Havent logged in a while but had to to say thanks for this.

Yes it is. I was looking for it & I was afraid to be disappointed but I found it.
Go to:
Settings> Apps & Notifications> Notifications Management, then click the three dots up in the corner of the screen. You'll find it there
It has changed now!
It is
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications -> Selection:
1) Show
2) Do not show
3) Show but hide contents

Huawei disabled that feature from the last couple of updates for all devices citing privacy issues.
Do you know if there is any way of getting around that, is there any third party software that could re-enable expanding notifications on the lock screen - it's one thing I really miss having just upgraded from a Nexus 5X!

Yea i have novalauncher but it doesn't affect lock screen. i think you need lockscreen launcher but I don't want to change. Huawei should give the option in lockscreen settings
If you have face unlock enabled, go to settings - security - face unlock and disable smart lock screen notifications
Honor\huawei has indeed screwed this up. faceunlock or pin or etc is not the problem.
The problem is at lock screen, you can see a notification for whatsapp
If it is just a single message, you're fine. You can read it.
But if it is multiple messages or multi line, you can't, as it only shows amount of messages notifications, and the FIRST line of the message.
You can't expand the notification to read the rest. You end up having to unlock and go into whatsapp to read it.
*Sometimes you just want to read the messages, without ending up showing yourself last online in WhatsApp........
Ifyou have enabled face unlock and swipe to get to the launcher you can press the power button, the phone will recognize your face and then you can pull down the notifications.
Same if you want to skip a song at spotify etc.

Can't. It doesn't work.
Steps.
1. Press power button or lift phone to start face unlock
2. U can see whatsapp notifications on the lock screen, but they are grouped up. Meaning, can't expand to see contents
3. Face unlock recognizes your face. You can now able to slide to unlock
4. Still, the notifications can't be accessed or expanded to read full content

The same issue here. My wife's Honor 10 after customization completely lost lockscreen notifications and camera shortcut too. I spent long time trying to solve this in notification settings but failed- non app like default SMS, WhatsApp or Messenger displays notification on lockscreen. Do you have any advice please?

Hello. Notifications currently aren't working with custom lockscreen themes. Devs from honor said it was for higher security. I hate to say that the only way to see notifications on lockscreen is to change lockscreen theme to default, just lockscreen is enough though, you can keep other things like icons etc in whatever theme you want. I personally hate the clock being at the bottom of screen but there is no other way for notifications to show up properly atm. I also tried custom lockscreen 'launchers' but they're bugged. Hope this helps.
Tested working on Huawei View10, You can enable full message content on lock screen by going to phone settings > security & Privacy > Face Unlock > and disable "smart lock screen notification". These seem to be a bad description on Huawei part because you would think this turns off notifications on lock screen but it only limits the content on lock screen for security purposes. The only time i need to expand my messages on lock screen is when phone is sitting on desk and i don't want to lift the phone to unlock it in order to read my notification. Lock screen notification can be set for apps separately. Hope this helps.
So I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro to the galaxy s23 ultra. It's my first Samsung phone so I'm still getting familiar with the Samsung flavor of Android.
Is there a way to hide/not display an apps persistent notification icon from the status bar? I use a diabetic monitoring app(xdrip+) which has to always be running for obvious reasons. The app produces a graph which is always visible when I pull down the notification bar, I like that peice and want to keep it. However having the icon displayed in the status bar at all times is an eye sore.
On the pixel (and previously my oneplus 7 pro) I could set the notification to "silent" and it would hide the icon but would still display the graph in the notification bar. I can't find a way to mirror that on my galaxy s23. I can disable the persistent notification all together, but then I lose access to the handy graph.
When the notification shade is down and all notifications are visible you tap and hold the notification you want to change and after a moment a few options will appear and you tap settings and it takes you yo settings for that notification

I tried that, and setting it to "silent" didn't do anything sadly. I also tried disabling the notification entirely but that sadly made the graph go away as well.

Ahhhhh thank you. I fooled around a bit in there before but didn't realize that there were sub options within sub options. Thank you so much for the help, I'm now able to hide the icon.
