Hello
I'm seeking to get notifications (such as gmail subject, or a new sms) on my lock screen.
So I installed HeadsUp Notification which is said to be compatible with Android 4.2 and lower, and I cannot activate the service in the android options.
I mean, there is a "service" option, I click on it, and I find a screen where there is only a text, and no checkbox or anything
Do you know how to activate the service? Or to get another application that may display my notifications on my lock screen? (even if it replaces my actual lockscreen).
Thanks

I am also looking for a notifications app, see my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma.../looking-notification-app-standalone-t2925247
I will try HeadsUp Notification.
Just ran across Floatify in the Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.floatify
Seems to work on the lockscreen the way Android Marshmallow notifications should work! I disabled the heads up setting in the app, but in my 5 minutes of playing with it, the lockscreen works GREAT! You can keep your ZTE lockscreen, the notifications just display on top of it and you can swipe them away. You do disable the stock notifications, but this has worked fine in my email and text test as well as a few Dropbox notifications.
It lets you expand the notifications too.
Only down side I've seen so far, you need the "pro" version ($1.49) to get the notifications to stack on top of each other.....Otherwise, with the free version it still works....But the newest one is on top, when you swipe it away there is one under it....so if you get 6 notifications, to see the first one you'll need to swipe away all the others on top. I've already purchased the "pro" version, otherwise I'd test that setting out to make sure I'm correct in telling you this?
But all's I know, I'm really happy with this $1.49 app!
Nice find! How well does it handle music playback notifications?
does it work with the fingerprint scanner?

it does not replace the lockscreen, it just creates notifications on the original one. Thx for the hint, very nice app

Well, when I first tried it, it didn't show anything... Then when I was about to post this, I checked again and it shows up just like a standard notification (along with the others).
I'm using Shuttle+ and the top one is the music notification. No controls, just "what's playing".
Lol.....It even reminds me that my wife took the Kohl's card last month and used it (busted).
Best solution I've seen so far.

Very nice. BTW, how did you change your font? & what is the font?

It's a flashable .zip font called "ChinaCat". You have to be rooted to use it, since it flashed via TWRP.
Yes, amazing. I hated that bell, now it's six feet under.
I just wanted to provide a different option for anybody who wants the finger print scanner + album art to work.
Hi Locker.
Main benefits: full album art with the audio controls and works with finger print scanner.
The main downfall is if you want to do the finger print scanner, you have to have ZTE's stock lock screen enabled which means you'll have two lock screens.
It works two different ways.
1. If you press the power button, it'll bring up the ZTE lock screen with the bell. If you have your lock screen set at swipe, it'll then go to the Hi Locker lock screen which will display notifications. If you press the button, you can unlock by using the finger print scanner twice. So, ultimately, using the power button and swiping immediately will bring you to the next screen and that will have all your notifications including album art taking over the wall paper and audio controls.
2. If you use the finger print scanner, it'll bypass the ZTE lock screen and go straight to the Hi Locker screen. Now you'll be able to function with all the other above. You can then use the finger print scanner a second time and you'll completely unlock the phone.
It's a weird way but this was the best way to get the finger print scanner and album art going at the same time... until ZTE releases something.

swipe the music notification down and you should see the controls
Great!
tele_jas, Thanks for sharing this one! I think it's much better than having a second lockscreen. I left my native notifications turned on,but just turned on the "Show on the lock screen" option (to kill the bell). Then, inside Floatify's settings, under Heads-up, then under "When", I disable "On Notification", but left "On Lockscreen" set to All Notifications. So I have Floatify only on top the lockscreen, and the default system notifications everywhere else.
Great find!
Thanks for this thread, love this app it's a massive improvement to the Axon 7.

Floatify = GREAT "notification bell" replacement (so far)!
Looks very promising.
Just bought it.
Just one question how disable the bell icon being on lock screen or it's not possible to all time hide it?
Edit: I don't know but find it very complicated through setting.
Too many settings and similar option
Missing simplicity from the app.

Sorry but I can't find that option you are talking about.
Can you please write step by step.
Thanks.

When you have two Gmail notifications, is there any way to react to each of them from the lockscreen? I have the pro version and thanks.

Just uninstalled and got refund.
Sorry I find the app too messy and complicated with dozens of similar option and settings.
Prefer next lock screen as lock screen replacement and I'm using glimpse notification to wake up screen on notification alert and double tap to sleep from lock screen.
Or just wait if being stock until ZTE make the bell optional witch not being late until released via software update.

How disable not interact badly on lock screen when pull down notification while playing music??
Also interact badly with player pro widget on notification center when pull down while playing music.
I don't know how disable music player widget on floatify.
Even disable player pro widget on player pro it continues to show both player pro and floating app music player widget together on Notification Center.

Sorry to those not happy with it and are asking me questions on how to use it?..... I liked it and found it useful and posted the link. I don't really know much of, or any of the technical stuff about it, I just set it up and left it alone and haven't touched it since day one. No, it's not perfect and not as useful as real stock android notifications, but I still like it MUCH better than the "bell".
I do know when you "start the app", you'll get the option to disable the stock android notifications (the three choice menu). You want to choose to not show any notifications and this will disable the "bell". There is someone on here uses it a slightly different way and left instructions on how they used it.
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.
(new here and to OPPO)
Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?
Edit:just found what Athena supposedly does, removing this fixed it for you?
Edit2:
Crowbar Asdfghjkl said:
According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

Using this I have got some more notifications to behave more normally, but things like SoundCloud player will sometimes decide not to show up, is there anything more I can do?

I'm getting my Gmail and calendar pretty consistently....
Also the messenger that im using (Viber)
It also seem that it learns what app you use the most and kinda know to let notification through..

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]
Installed Miui 12 eu rom, now notifications are sorted by time instead of priority...
I have many persistent notifications and I intentionally set priority to minimal / 'trivial' so they stay at the bottom
I now have to search the notifications in the list and it's annoying.
Anyway to get it to the way it was?

Not sure it made any difference.
Some of the apps did however stop "refreshing" their notifications and jumping to the top after a couple of times I opened them.
Some asked for permissions again...
There is just 1-2 apps that still do this.
ended up using Mi control center app
solves the notification sort problem + notifications aren't huge which I like and overall a very neat app.

nice app, but would be great if if worked correctly with custom quick settings tiles, like from Tasker, AutoNotification or Blokada.

Thanks for sharing. I have my first MIUI phone (coming from stock Android) and notifications in MIUI were driving me nuts. This app seems to return the stock Android behavior, hopefully there are no issues with it.
I still wish MIUI would honor the notification priority, what sense does it make to have silent notifications otherwise..
I am sorry for asking if it sounds silly, but how do we adjust priorities of notifications from different apps? Like I want some apps like text messages and missed calls etc to show on top of others in the list.
One more question, in Oxygen OS there was a feature of silent notifications, they were separated from the rest of the notifications by a neat divider labeled other notifications, they were collapsed by default and did not make a sound or splash. Can this be achieved in MIUI 12?
