I would just like to know of there is a way to have the screen stay off when I get a notification , I've mainly seen this happen for text messages. I'm not a big fan of having the screen wake every time there's notification. I've Googled and checked through these forums and was unable to find anything about that.
Looking through the settings I don't see anything that sticks out to me that allows you to change that.
If anyone could help that would be great thanks

I'll go to Settings>lock screen>no hide all notifications. If this what you want.

No not like that, I noticed that only the stock LG messenger app wakes the screen when you get a text, other messengers have settings to change that

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
A huge pull for me was that notifications would show up on the second screen, out of the way. It seems to be working that way aside for whatsapp... Whatsapp is still showing a big heads up notification on top.. Anyone know of a way to get it to the second screen?
I am in the same boat, loved the idea of all notifications only coming through the second screen, but hangouts also shows a big heads up notification along with the second screen notification.
Bump
Damn ... I had a slew of WhatApp texts and V.M.'s over the holidays and forgot to check just where the Icon was on either/any screen. I guess just seeing the Icon was enough that I didn't think about it's location.
Later today I'll reach out for someone I know on it and see where it pops up when they reply.

Use HeadsOff app, Worked for me.
the same for me.
Any fix for that?
Is there a way to get notifications to pop-up when the always on display is active?
You get the icon above the clock. Are you wanting a whole heads up notification or something? The screen to turn on? I don't think there is an option for something like that. At least I haven't seen one.

Yes - I would prefer a pop-up notification for text messages, emails. Was hoping there was a setting I was missing to be able to allow this.
Thanks.

It only shows an icon. I wish it showed the actual message Like Pixel does. but it does not. If your main concern is text messages you can download something like Textra which has an option to wake up the phone when I message arrives. Then you will see the message.

Is there somewhere an app that will also show pop-up messages? Using the Outlook app for example...I find it totally worthless that I get a notification sound but absolutely no popup. I don't want to have to pull the notification center down, I just want a pop up showing the message that I just received.
On that note, I *HATE* how the lock screen INSISTS on combining notifications from an app. If I get 10 emails, I want to see 10 separate notification entries, damn it.
Using Android....is, well, annoying. I shouldn't have to download apps just to make everything work. No wonder my wife rejected the V30 and went back to iOS.

Believe it or not Android is getting better and better with how notifications are handled and how they can be custom tailored per each app. The usage of the notification center is that way for a reason for quick and easy access to your notifications without completely interrupting the user. The cool thing is that there are other apps that you can use in order to adjust the phone to perform how you want it. Android is all about customization. You can have it the way it comes from the manufacturer or you can add apps to customize your experience. For this reason it may take an Android user longer to initially set up a phone vs a iUser.
Good luck.

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.
Hello,
My notifications seem to be coming down with the status bar, causing them to appear half way down my screen.
It's very annoying as it blocks half a video I am watching.
Any solution? Thanks
As you can use the notifications are coming down and not covering the status bar

I don't see anything and I've looked through every notification setting . I'm not sure if it's something I've done myself when themeing the phone maybe ?
Is a reset the only solution?

i was digging thru the settings and didnt see it either. I do not believe that a reset would help either. Overlay permissions maybe?

Can't see anything that would effect the notifications. I've put the device in safe mode and received notifications and I'm still experiencing the issue.
Thanks for helping me, I've just turned off heads up notifications for the time being.
I used a theme with substratum to black out the notifications and shortly after it started to happen so I think it's probably related to that.
Uninstalled the theme since but not fixed it :|
