Hi,
I like the idea of Lollipop's heads-up notifications, but I don't like the way Google executed the concept, particularly on the lockscreen. So instead of using the built-in notifications, I use Floatify. I also like Moto Display's feature of being able to wave your hand over the display and see your latest pending notification. I would just disable the native heads-up notifications on the lockscreen and rely exclusively on Floatify, but that also disables the Moto Display notifications. Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the heads-up notifications on the lockscreen but not in Moto Display?

Okay now that we have notifications on the lockscreeen now how do I control visibility there?
I use a few apps that rest permanently in the notifications, like volume controls, that should stay there but clutter the lock screen.
Anyone found a way to disable them on the lockscreen but keep em in the notifications?
Settings > sounds and notifications > app notifications
Thanks but thats not it.
You can block them but blocks them in the notification area too.
You can set them to sensitive but that still leaves a panel on the lock screen.
You can only hope this is an app setting and developers will update this soon.
Otherwise I can't understand how google devs oversaw this
Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up.
In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD fairly useless - even the time is often NOT on or bright enough when I really need it. And if you choose the AOD with notifications, they only work for a couple of stock Samsung apps if you happen to use those apps.
Has Samsung opened up the AOD API to third parties to create their own AOD apps? If so, anybody know of any good ones? Or perhaps turn Samsung AOD off and a third party Android app can emulate it? Right now, as is, the Samsung one seems pretty useless to me. And the 3rd party themes they offer for AOD don't change or add to the functionality - just allow optional looks of the same basic function.
Check out these:

The last one seems to me to be the most effective.
Edit: You'll want to turn AOD off to use these.
The stock Samsung AOD enables some more optimizations for the display controller, including reducing the number of colours and the refresh rate.
How do I know whether those apps do the same? Is it known how to access the display controller this way, is there an API for that? How could I write an app that uses this?

My previous device was a Moto X and like you I miss some Moto AOD features too.
Anyway, there are ways to tweak a bit Samsung AOD , check this thread: Mod for Always ON Display to Double tap to Unlock possible?? (Nougat)
I've upgraded to Nougat, but since than I can't disable the lockscreen notification and peeking for certain apps. I don't want my mails and WhatsApp been shown on the lockscreen etc. Who can help?
Enable Power Notification Controls, set those apps to Level 1 and they won't show up anymore
Dear friends
Got my OP5 yesterday. I have some queries
1. How to disable the vibration on unlocking screen?
2. How to disable the headsup notifications
3. How to set weather widget on home screen
Please help
thanks
Google enabling "OnePlus Laboratory". This will enable you to disable the peeking on a per app basis. There's another way to do it system-wide via ADB but I like the granular approach. It works great for me.
Anyway to replace AOD with Androids Ambient Display?
AOD is nice, but I'd rather have Ambient displays. Ambient Displays temporary feature which just shows notifications briefly is what I'd prefer instead of just an icon and a big ass click always there.
There used to be Xposed modules but those are pretty much gone nowadays.
Download NILS.

I believe NILS is for lockscreen notifications only, it won't replace AOD screen.
Ambient display turns on the screen when you receive a notification. This is exactly what NILS does if you set it that way and turn off it's notification service, so it'll turn on the screen when you receive notifications and show the standard notifications from the phone you're using.
