I use my GNex as my primary workhouse. The ONLY thing it doesnt do that I would love (and honestly, I need it) is for a lockscreen notification for my calendars and maybe even SMS.
When my screen is locked, I get the vibration/sound but I really would like it to light up the screen and show a popup notification (aka iPhones)
How can I get this? I suspect an App won't do? Do any ROM's support this (AOKP?)
Does such a thing exist?
For text messages, check out SMS popup - not sure if it works on a lockscreen or not but seems to be a solid app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
Use Notifierpro

Lockscreen notifications
Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky here, creator of NotifierPro.
To get lockscreen notifications, you may want to try our last app LockerPro Lockscreen.
This is a lockscreen replacement with stacking notifications.
Regards.
I looked around a bit but I didn't find any info about what I want to do.
Basically I am a minimalist person and not very cluttered/social so I don't use/need any widgets or large number of apps installed; so my desktop right now is completely empty. I also have been playing with gestures and completely full screen on my phone. Which means I use gestures for my softkeys and such, event to open the app drawer and quick launcher.
Now I am looking to never have to toggle the notification shade back on to see what if any activity is going on my device.
Ideally I would like one simple widget on the desktop that would provide any and all notifications, everything from screenshots or app updates to gmail and missed calls. Also the basics like time/date/battery/signal/etc. I am not sure if anything like this exists or is possible but I am interested to find a Global notification replacement.
The ultimate goal is to disable the lock screen entirely and rely completely on the desktop info for notifications and the like.
Any info or insight to this would be amazing and I am grateful for any help anyone can provide. Thank you.

I don't think so. Search for any apps that can provide you with notifications.

You can use the notifier pro app.It works very well. ?
I tried many notifier apps.. actually the "notifier pro app" suggested by rajat doesn't use the down slide notification panel..
The others I tried that should do it, don't work on Nokia X except 2:
-Super Status Bar... but it lock and crash the phone (I had to remove battery to unlock the phone)
-Inoty, it works PERFECTLY. With the down slide you will se a panel with two tabs, the first contains the calendar and other things. Going right you will se the second tab with all the notifications. If you go in the notifications tab and slide up the panel, everytime you slide it down again you will see directly the notifications tab (and not the calendar tab). Inoty panel will appear instead of normal Nokia X status panel, in Inoty panel there aren't the switches for wifi, bluetooth etc.. but it's sufficient to slide down again from the top of the screen to switch to the normal Nokia X status panel where you can find the missing buttons.
Hi! I just got my new LG G4 a few days ago, and I would like to know if there is an easy way to get weather information (preferably via widget) in the lockscreen of Android 6.0. My phone is not rooted, and at this moment I do not intend to do so, either.
I know this can be achieved with alternative lock screens, but as far as I know, those lock screens do not allow me to use the camera in a safe session while the phone remains locked, and this feature is a must for me. So, if anyone knows of a replacement lockscreen that allows this, then please let me know.
Thanks!
No one knows?
Well, you can always use Google now to find that info. Just say "Ok google, what's the weather like today?" (need to have google now installed and voice trigger activated)
The LG G4's lock screen itself has the animations of weather when there is high intensity of rain, fog or storm out there. That's really an awesome feature.
If you still want to see exact numbers on your lock screen, you can get any app that puts the info on your notification bar. Naturally, the notification appears on lock screen on g4 so from there you can get it....
Hope it helps

Thanks a lot! I can't get the weather animation on the lock screen. Does it only appear with a particular lock method (swipe, PIN, etc.)? Or with a particular swipe effect?
As for an app that puts the info on the notification bar, wouldn't that make the notification light blink constantly? Also, wouldn't that prevent the phone from sleeping and thus consume much more battery?

Hey,
So many questions at once! Will answer one by one
You will get the weather animation when the weather is intense, like its raining out there or fog is there. Not for the general temperatures, but for the unusual ones.
The option can be enabled in Settings > Lock Screen > Weather Animations.
For the App that puts info on notification Bar, you have the option to disable notification light for a particular app. You can disable the notification light for the weather app, however some would prefer that light keep blinking 24x7
No, notifications do not prevent phone from sleeping. Understand it this way: when you get messages on any app, say whatsapp or facebook messenger, you get notifications. But does that prevent phone from sleeping or consumes extra battery? no. Similarly, this app will just be getting hourly updates from server just like you getting messages on whatsapp. So Standby mode won't be affected.

I do not have that setting I have not done much to the phone since I got it. I updated it to 6.0, and I am using Lightning Launcher instead of the LG one. Could any of those things prevent me from seeing that option in settings?

Ok, I understand. Though, I see that my lockscreen has space for 2 notifications at a time, so I guess that if I receive an sms and I have a calendar event, the weather notification will be hidden, right? Oh, well, at least it is better than not having the notification at all.

Well Mate, I completely understand your situation.
Unfortunately, unlocking G4 isn't possible and at MM, rooting is not possible too (as of now).
Else I am sure custom roms can provide you all that you want with minimal effort.

And yes, you need to use LG launcher along with weather app from LG.
Anyways, LG launcher is quite stable and once you customize it with your preferences, its actually better than any other launcher out there. It allows you to switch off screen on double tap, the folders are quite good and customization, you can uninstall apps directly from drawer...in short its a good launcher.
I myself preferred Google now launcher earlier before having G4 but G4's launcher is really good.
I have an old app called Weatherbug Elite. It has the option of keeping live weather info in the notification bar. With it turned on the temperature is always displayed and when you slide open the notification bar there is a panel of weather info. This same panel shows on the lock screen via notifications. It does not keep the phone awake or blink the light. If there are several notifications it compresses on the lock screen them and you can expand them with a slide.
This app is no longer available, I got it as a free app of the day from Amazon a long time ago. There must be other apps that do the same thing though.

Thanks for the info! I'll try to track it down. Still, I do not understand why Google nerfed the lockscreen so much in the last versions of Android.
Anyone notice that when you long press icons with notification badges on them you no longer see the notifications just the shortcuts?
I really enjoyed the ability to long press icons to see a notification description that I could click to access or swipe away. The one thing Android did way better than iOS. Now when I long press I just see shortcuts meaning I have to go in the app and sometimes I don't even see what the notification is for. This is really disappointing.
Anyone know when this functionality disappeared? Or did I change something in my settings by mistake? Is there a way to get this functionality back?
I'm using the s20 ultra SD with the one UI launcher if that helps.
Any help would be appreciated.

My Savior! You my friend are a prince among men. Thanks a million.
I recently did a factory reset to start fresh because restoring from a Samsung backup made my battery pretty awful. I totally forgot about that settings.
Thanks again.:victory:
