By rooting your device and flashing a custom ROM that supports lockscreen notifications.
BTW, this query belongs in the Q&A section.

Stock Rom, Locked and .253 built. I am able to drop down the notifications on the lock screen itself. It stock, nothing done

The. 253 update did give the option. Just wait for the update to come to your phone

Why pull down of status bar in lock screen possible?

Hello,
I was a bit surprised when I found out that I can pull down my status bar while my s4 mini is locked - on my old s3 it was not possible.
It seems to me that it doesn't match the use of a lockscreen...
Can I anyhow deactivate this?
Thanks!

If you use a password/pin/pattern lock, that should disable the pull down.

Just tried - yes, that works... thanks! But can you tell me why it is possible if I don't use it?

Its always possible if you don't have a secure lock screen. It's been like that on my previous Galaxy S phones including the S3. I think its just so you can view any notifications without the need to unlock the device that's all.

Well... I think it a design decision by Google... No secure lock = access to your phone anyways = why bother, let have pull down menu enabled....
I also wish there was a feature to disabling it with insecure lockscreen...

AFAIK, This has been a feature of Android starting from Ice Cream Sandwich. If you don't have a secure lockscreen, then the statusbar can be pulled down in the lockscreen

If you'd rather not have a lock pin then you can use a 3rd party lock screen app like widgetlocker. I use it with its roothelper feature to disable the notification curtain when locked.
Now if only Kevin would add this feature to Nova Launcher so my kids couldn't change any of my settings! Come on Kevin!

currently there is no way to disable. So you will have to live with it
In case if you install the third party lock screen, you will have 2 lock-screen working at the same time.

[Q] swipe in any direction to unlock

Hey
There is any way to change the swipe to unlock option? I mean if there is a way to open notifications by pressing the notification without any swiping
Thanks for the help

for the moment the (Stock Lollipop) Lg lockscreen is unchangeable.
Your best bet would be trying a 3rd party locker. I stick to stock but i have tried many and the best one IMO is
CM Locker from the playstore.

Swipe down notification, long press the clog button to activate System UI Tuner. Go to settings, scroll down>system ui tuner>other>power notification controls>turn it on.
Go back to settings>apps>whatsapp>notification>level 3(depending on you preference).
Request someone to send you a whatsapp. You will notice the difference.
