Lock screen notifications

Hi all
So I'm new to Android and am wondering where the lock screen notifications are located and how are they enabled?

lock screen notifications? they come up in a red circle on the lock screen to show you missed calls/messages

I'm running cm9

No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.

having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).
can't believe it's not !

and dont forget you are running a version that is aleaked and not official, official releases might have it included it might not

Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.
Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!

If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.
Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)
Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.

CM9 Roms are still in development
I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.
CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.
and DONATE. even if its £1/$1.6 they will only get better if you give your support.

NoLed is a brilliant tool for screen notifications, with possibility to monitor not only standard things like SMS and mail, you can also monitor apps, like Wordfeud or anything else

Tried noled, I'm going to refrain from commenting on the grounds that it might incriminate me

Cover Lockscreen for Android

The right apps at the right time
No more fumbling through screens of apps to find the one you’re looking for. Cover learns when and where you use different apps and puts them on your lockscreen for easy access.
What is Cover?
Cover is the fastest way to get to the right apps at the right time. It’s a free app for Android that replaces the lockscreen of your phone, adding shortcuts to your favorite apps.
What does Cover do?
Cover recognizes the places you go: home, work, car, and out. It learns which apps you use where, and puts the right ones on your lockscreen for quick access in each context. It also pays attention to which apps you use during certain hours of the day and days of the week.
Cover lets you quickly peek at apps and jump between them. With Cover’s smart settings, you can specify ringer volumes for each context too. See our demo video for more info.

Just started using this app, thought I'd share.

Missing these important features
1) Camera launch almost always fails ( on my nexus 5 with face recognition lock setup)
2) Does not bubble up apps with notifications to top
3) Does not show next meeting, battery percent and other simple info most other lock screens show ( samsung , htc ..)
4) tap on a app with notifications ( say hangout) can show the notification message ( cover already has access to notification content). swipe will still open the app

[Q] Q: How does the S-View cover work software-wise? Only with Touchwiz?

How does locking the phone work? If the case is closed i can see through the little window on the case and interact, is that a lockscreen app of some sort? If I open the case, will it simply open to where I was previously, or my home screen of choice (Nova launcher)?
I wanna be a bit more clear on the software side of the workings of the s-view case before purchase. I recently bought my note 3 and updated to 4.4 already.
Thank you.

I used Spigen Slim Armor View and also have original S-View cover, but I dont think I could explain it in details.
I suggest to browse youtube for good overview on how S-View works because only pictures can explain otherwise there will be so many miss assumptions/understading in discussions. , you can post questions on youtube as well to get answer from on hands experience users.

If you close the cover, it will automatically lock but the screen will stay on for a few seconds.
When you open the cover, it will automatically unlock and you will go back to where you where before locking the phone (this can be truned off in the settings so that opening the cover takes you to the lockscreen).
If you press the power button with the cover closed, you will be taken to specialized interface in the window.
It shows you information like time, weather, missed calls, messages, number of steps walked (integrated with S Health).
You can check the missed calls and messages, take photos, control your music and make a note in action memo.
That's about it, I guess.

Alright, thanks for the responses.
My only fear was that the "specialized interface" with the cover closed (with missed calls, messages, weather, etc) is a touchwiz thing, so in other words I would need to use touchwiz as my launcher for it to work.
I guess that's not the case then, and using Nova or any other launcher is not a problem, the special interface still works.

You just need a touchwiz based ROM. Not the launcher itself.

LG V20 customizing Second screen with Apps vs. Quick Tools?

I am trying to replicate the functionality of a Galaxy Note II notification LED on an LG V20 for Sprint. AFAIK, there is no such LED on the V20 although there are some differing opinions on whether the camera flash can be used of this.
The standard email notification icon available when the main screen is off is tiny and for some reason, it disappears or gets pushed aside by other notifications. e.g.
1) I send myself email and I can see the icon within a couple of minutes
but
2) Email comes in overnight but when I check the phone in the morning, the email icon is not there although some other icons for updates and whatnot are.
I have the stock email app on the Second Screen and when mail comes in, it puts an indicator on the icon. But, this only works when the main screen is on. With the main screen off, the best I can get are the Quick Tools, none of which are relevant to me.
Is there any way to get the app icons to appear on the Second Screen while the main screen is off? Or, are there any third party apps which can show clear new email status with the main screen off?
