Any way to keep notifications on lockscreen? - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hi everyone!
So, I recently got a Mi 9T.
I really like the device itself, but not having used MIUI in a few years, there's something that is really making me angry, to the point where I'm considering sending the device back and getting a refund: the way notifications are handled on the lock screen.
Basically, the problem is this: when you recieve a new notification, it only shows on the lockscreen ONE TIME. After that, if you turn the screen off and back on again, even if you didn't dismiss the notificaiton it disappears from the lockscreen. You have to unlock the phone and open the notification shade to read the pending notifications.
This is not how stock Android behaves, and is very annoying because I keep forgetting I have unanswered emails/messages/etc, since I don't see them "at a glance" when I turn on the screen without unlocking the device.
Is there any way to fix this?
If there isn't, does anyone know of any alternative solution? Maybe a third party app? At least a way to see that there are active notifications, maybe via an icon in the statusbar or something?

Ok, after some searching I've found that this Xposed module should have this feature: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-customiuizer-customize-miui-rom-t3910732
Now all we need is a way to root the device so we can install Xposed/EdXposed. Has anyone tested magisk/root yet?

On my previous mobiles, I've been using a combo nova/missedit
Nova folder, transparent icon with links to phone, messages, WhatsApp,WeChat, slack... Inside, with badges active. Any notification is shown only when present. Touch, open folder, touch open app. Fast and nice.
Missed it can be configured to show anything you want
But both are not working properly with t9. Bought Wednesday, not much testing still, but some annoyances found, like that.
Lock screen is just detected, I didn't noticed it until now. But may be dangerous.
And also, notification led (I love those things) does nothing but charge... And noled app doesn't works

LED is working for me with notifications (tested with WhatsApp).
Thanks for your suggestions, but from what I read it seems that those apps are for missed notification badges? I'm talking about notifications on lockscreen, that disappear after they've been shown once.
But the mod I've linked above seems to have the solution, just need to find a root method (there's a TWRP available, but not official, don't know if Magisk works on it or not, will test this weekend if I can).

Do you have any idea why my phone led wont lit up when it receives a message ,it only lights up at charge
thanks btw

ok, i understand your problem.
but for me is also logic to not keep same notification on lock screen always, even after you unlock and lock phone back.
there are up in notification bar, icons, or badges on icons in home screen, and they saty until you dismiss them from notification bar.

Different people use their phone differently.
Personally, I use notifications as reminders. For example: if I get an email that I can't reply to immediately I do not dismiss the notification, so when I turn on the display, maybe even hours later, I immediately see the notification and I am reminded to reply.
Note also that this is how notifications work in stock android, so MIUI should at least give the option imho.

yes i understand you. but this is not stock android.
and if you dont dismiss notification in notification panel, when you swipe down, this notification icon will remain there until you dismiss her. so lets say, this morning i receive email, and it was on my lock screen. i unlock phone, and use what i wanted, but didnt watch email. in notification bar i have icon that there is email, and on app icon i have notification number. so this notifications number and icon in notification bar will stay all the time i dismiss notification when i pull down notification panel. i hope you understand. so if you watch on app icon of email you will know you have email as there is notification number, and up in bar you will have also notification that you have message. It is that what you said notification shade.
dont be upset, just say that it is not exactly true that after unlock you lose remainder that you receive email or message.

Well, you lose the reminder on the lock screen. I'm resurfacing this thread cause I just got a Mi9 and this is driving me nuts. They didn't fix this, even on MIUI 11.

That's very interesting... is this a XiaomiEU feature or has it been added in stock MIUI beta? (XiaomiEU builds are based on MIUI beta if I recall correctly).
Anyway, I can confirm that I've been using the Xposed module "custoMIUIzer" on my 9T and it works perfectly, it has a fix for this problem (and tons of other customizations)

Still not fixed with MIUI 12. Is there a way to get this to work without rooting?

Customiuizer does it.
On latest MIUI12 weekly beta.

What version of xposed are using with customiuizer?

For those who got the update, did Xiaomi fix their 'feature' in MIUI 12?

Whatsapp notification problem..

Hi there, I'm facing a problem with the notification in WhatsApp, when I get a message and let's say I'm chrome or any other app it's only shows the WhatsApp icon on the notification bar, but if I don't remember it wrong it should at leats show me something like new message from "anywho" and then the icon, or even give me the option to fast reply showing me the whole message but it's not doing any of this, only the icon and I have to draw the notification bar just to see who is texting me..
It's this the way it's supposed to work? Cuz is driving me crazy..
I have last marshmallow stock build with July security patch, unlocked and rooted with EX-kernel and a theme called Milos using layers manager, dunno if that have something to do with it..
Ty, guys.

Notifications on lockscreen not working at all.

Hey guys, first post on XDA.
Also my first Huawei phone, bought it for a good price in China. I dare to say great when its about 1 / 2.5 of the price i payed for my Edge 6.
Its a AL10 with B197. First impressions are good. The UI is "worse" than Samsung and certainly needs time to get used to.
Its quick as lightning and for example batterytime, which ive started to value very high, is more than doubled.
Notifications on the statusbar works fine, Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail and so on. But they all refuse to work on the lockscreen, im yet to get a single one out there.
In settings -> messages/statusbar ive enabled lockscreen (and everything else) for all apps, but that helps nada.
RIght now im using the app Next to get around it, but surely i must have missed something?
I have the same problem woth latest software. I check every option like dont kill app after lockscreen vut it now works. When I close app or lock screen notification not working till I switch for example whatsup then I see 10 new. Messeges
Does it work if you change the battery mode to "performance"? For me, absolutely no other option allowed apps to receive their alarms and show up in the notification bar when they're supposed to.
The nice thing about this change is that I couldn't notice any disadvantage as far as battery life.
I changed now for for normal (in my language is normal inteligent and ultra save) I will check tomorrow phone beahviour.
Try this. Go to Settings, lockscreen & passwords, screen lock style and choose magazine unlock. For me this is the only screen lock style that works for lock screen notifications. Let me know if it works for you.

I have this enable. I use code method or fingerprint unlock. Still the same ****...
No luck here either, cant for the life of me get notifications to work. Everything is enabled, all apps are turned on when screens goes off, max performance, tried different themes, etc etc.
Using the app Nils now to atelast get something.
I cheek battery drainige when app are not kill.
Its very sad all apps are enable option to not kill after lock screen. Restaring apps eneable. In first software version b180 I think everything was fine. In emui 4.0 after update much worst.
---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------
Problem sloved! Do not kill app by system cleaner it means you have quadrant or whatever it called on down your screen. If you celan your last apps notification not work. When I. Kill apps via ex task manager lock screen notification comes very good testing on fb and messanger. So do not celan last up which you want receive notification
I get notifications for other apps but I don't get any for the Facebook Groups app or Facebook app. I also do not get any badge counts on these two apps. Anyone get badge counts or notifications for these two apps? The notification settings are the same as my other apps that's DO get notifications.

Hey man, did you find a solution to this, I have the same problem and it's driving me nuts!
You must use magazine unlock, in Themes
Wysłane z mojego HUAWEI NXT-L29 przy użyciu Tapatalka
I finally got mine to work. Yes you have to use magazine unlock. The other themes with different lock screen seems to disable the notification popoug (probably due to compatability). Nevertheless, if you are using EMUI 5.0, go to <Notification & Status bar> then <Notification Management> and click on the gear icon on top. I selected "When device is locked, show all notification content". The other individual whatsapp notification setting should be applied accordingly too.

Getting rid of heads up notifications while phone is unlocked?

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery
It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.
I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?

Nougat lacking features?

It seems like the official Nougat builds are really horrible when it comes to notifications. I no longer have the option to turn on the display when receiving a notification, which is huge. But on top of that, I don't seem to get any notifications on the lock screen at all, or "heads up" notifications (the notifications that drop down from the top of the screen while it's on temporarily). Am I wrong? Have others gotten this stuff working? I am on AL10.
Well I got lock screen stuff going, it was just defaulting to disabled. But there seems to be no option to wake the display for notifications.

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10. Just got the phone 2 days back and I installed Android Nougat 7.0 directly from Huawei using Huawei ID.
I found a setting that may be the one or at least close to it.I also checked if the notification is displaying on the lock screen and it does. I have attached the screenshots.
When I unlock the phone and check the notifications they are there until I swipe them out. They are displayed beautifully. Unfortunately taking screenshot of that was bit difficult as the knuckle thing didn't work so well. I managed to get these. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers!

I had an issue similar to this on 6.0, it was an issue with themes. Do you have anything under the screen lock style menu, under screen lock and passwords? I have a feeling thats my issue.
Screen lock style - screen lock passwords

Hi,
I checked under screen lock and passwords
options listed are
password, secure lock settings , smart unlock - under the subheading of "passwords"
under "lock screen"
screen lock style, magazine unlock and lock screen signature
under screen lock style
it just displays magazine unlock and when you click that it displays the same wallpaper and asks to apply.
under "magazine unlock settings"
subscriptons, auto-update over WLAN and auto-delete covers
There is a separate application called "Themes" and it shows all the themes. They all look alike but there is no download or edit options available. Even if we want to change or edit those themes, it seems like root is required. Are you rooted?
I have enclosed more screenshots to explain better. Hope you find what you are looking for, if I missed something please let me know if you want screenshot of any other menu or screen.

When you say "heads up notification", are you referring to peeking where there's a short pop up message over the status bar? For example, every time I get a message on Facebook Messenger, there's peeking. If so, that frustrated me as well and I loved it when I could turn if off with Nougat's Power Notifications controls.
I finally found a way to disable peeking; I had to turn off sound by going to Facebook Messenger's App Info - App Notification - disable [Allow Sound]. I already use Lightflow to customize sounds/vibrations from my Nougat days. Once I disabled [Allow Sound], peeking stopped but I could still hear sound/vibration through my customization in Lightflow.
Problem solved for me.
Feel disgusting to heads up notification too.
try "Gaming Do Not Disturb"
I open it all the time to ban heads up notification
Here is how to set notification on oreo. go to setting > app And notification > then select your app for which you want to turn off or reduce importance of notification. If you select preference urgent / high / medium and low. then low means no sound no visual notification and urgent mean sound and popup.
Apps like telegram: it doesn't work properly, I have to do this for each conversation and group and that's annoying. any other tips? and the thing is it does revert back to urgent after few notifications
