OK, I see a few threads with similar questions (but no answers) on the boards of XDA, so going to ask this question.
My Xperia Z2 (BL locked, no root, running the stock Nordic Lollipop rom) doesn't show any notifications on the lock screen. My phone is PIN protected as that's a security requirement for my work Exchange e-mail account. But, even after removing my account (I thought some security setting was overriding the Android settings), I'm still not seeing any notifications on my lockscreen when I get an e-mail or text.
Is this just the way the ROM is? Or is there something wrong? I've gone through and double checked the notification settings after watching the Google help videos, but everything looks ok.
Thx,
Praz
UPDATE 4/7/15:
I just did a full reset and a fresh install of the U.S. 5.02 firmware. And from what I can tell, I'm still not getting lockscreen notifications on my Z2. I have my work e-mail on the phone; could it be that the corp security is disabling lockscreen notifications?
Anyone else having any issues w/ this?
I have just the same problem, have not been able to find any solution for this yet.
Someone else that have a solution?
Settings... Sounds & notification..... When Device is locked....
Is there... Show all notifications... set as default?

Not sure - will mess w/ it some more later this week. Worst case, will do a reset to factory settings and see if the notifications show up. It's a little annoying right now to have neither status bar or the new style lockscreen notifications. But there aren't too many settings to screw it up, so I thought I'd check w/ you guys.

Due to our security policy at work we aren't allowed to have message or e-mail previews enabled on any phone. Honestly I don't like them anyway as someone could see your private information without even needing to unlock the phone. Given this, I have always had mine messaging preview option disabled. I would get a message and the blue light would blink and that was the only indication. Since taking 4.4.2 yesterday I get a notification on my lock screen that doesn't divulge any information other that "MESSAGING" as far as the content or who it's from, but I would like to completely remove this all together. I have searched online high and low and I do not have the "preview message" option enabled at all. Given this, has anyone successfully got that lock screen notification to go away? I read another post and someone said it is defaulted to appear in KitKat, can someone confirm?
You would have to disable it from the all applications menu in settings

Wrong. That disables all notifications for the messaging app. I just want the lock screen preview disabled.

Anyone? I know this is an issue.
Morning all
Is there a way to get notification previews on the lock screen on the Z2? (Pop up box in center screen a la ios)
Have had a quick search on here and couldn't find any info, also been through a load of settings etc but havent stumbled across it.
I assumed it would be an option, without having to download another app.
Any help appreciated!

You'll have to wait for Android L or use an app like Knock².

Edit: Turns out the feature you want is not yet released in Knock, and will only be available in a later version. Sorry bout that.

This is a response on another forum I did but it suits this situation so it's just a copy and past. Wasn't sure if you meant a response to sms or just notifications but both are covered.
You have 2 options really. I just am using them both as had enough of the standard text app telling me I had a message after I read it in the notification bar (there is a easier way but I liked all programs so kept using them). There are other apps but I use Chomp SMS to replace the standard messaging app. This will give you the option of reply bubble without going into the messaging app like Iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms&hl=en
Other options are Textra, GoSMS, Handcent...
But I have taken it on set further and use Nils which without the quick reply of Chomp SMS to give me the listed messages on the lockscreen as a widget. You can then just go straight to the message app from the lockscreen to answer if you hold and swipe.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=en
This will become redundant once we get 4.4.4 where it become standard in android.
If you just looking after preview you could go one or the other without getting both. I liked ChompSMS so matched it with nils. Also can use Icon Changer if you dont like the Icon for Chomp SMS which I will probably do.
All programs are free and available from the Play store. And you keep the original lock screen as I like the unlock method as well.
Thank you for your reply.
I'll check these out for sure.
Its funny, having been ios for 5 years, there are little things I miss.
What I don't miss is the godawful piece of trash known as 'iTunes'!!
(My main reason for ditching my iPhone, the other being I love my Nexus 7 and my little Nook HD)
Also just read up on Android L, lets hope the update rolls out to us Z2 users swiftly!
Thanks Again

You can enable the Android L feature already if you are rooted.
I have it and it's brilliant. Root the phone, install Xposed, install Heads Up Notifications, and voila.
I also have Light Flow installed (this doesn't require root). This basically turns on your phone's screen when you receive a notification (you can customise it to decide which notifications you want). It used to really annoy me how the Z2 didn't turn on when a notification was received.
Now, thanks to xposed, Heads Up Notifications and Light Flow (lite), I have the perfect setup.
Have a question hope you can help. I was getting weird text from a random number the other day so I blocked it. But in doing so I block all my messages notification so it does not tell me when I have a message. I've been trying to undo it but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thank you
Hey all
Just wondering if any users of the H831 G5 have notification problems at all? It seems as though on the lock screen that I dont get peek notifications lighting up for any apps except for the stock text messaging app. I have checked the notification settings several times and under lock screen "show all notifications" is selected. I have also checked in the individual app setting and there is nothing disabled, so just wondering if this is a known issue with the H831 and android N?
I searched through the forums, but was unable to find anything similar.
Notifications work perfectly on mine.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I Have This Problem Too And I Don't Know How To Fix It I can't Try Factory Reset i have So Much Media Don't wanaa lose.
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is another common bug, but it is getting a bit frustrating.
Whenever there are new messages coming through (say whatsapp, wechat, facebook messenger), there's no notification showing up under a lock screen.
I have already enabled ALL my apps for notification, even the right hand corner under notifications management -> Lock screen notifications -> display all notifications.
I have also tried to change a few themes already and it's still the same....
Is this a common bug for everyone? If not, is there any other ways i can fix this? Just scratching my head on this....
Thanks for the help!
Cheers!

If you mean the black AOD screen the answer is yes. Nothing shows up there expect the battery and music from the Huawei player.
If you mean the screen after that which allows you to use quick toggles the answer is no. That one works just fine.
My lock screen is set to magazine. Maybe that helps.
Hey i noticed we can not expand the notification in lock screen! I had Honor 6X before this and i used to be able to expand the notification in lockscreen. Any idea how to do it in the honor 10

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.
