I would like notifications to interrupt what I am doing and see them on my screen.

Be_happy — Sat, 23 Jul 2016 21:42:36 GMT

When I get a message or notification it just makes a sound. I want the notification to appear on the screen over whatever I am doing.

Most notifications will actually appear as pop ups when you receive them most notably SMS and emails. Though in certain apps they do not allow this to happen example when you are playing a game. You cansee your led light up when you receive notifications

Well actually they do not appear... Thats why I am writing in the Sony forum

When my phone is locked the screen doesnt even light up when receving a message...

Have you tried it when you are in safe mode.? Just long press the power off option.
Check your notification settings too. Make sure DnD isn't on

@Be_happy

Which app do you have open when you don't get those notifications?

The receiving call now seems to work fine, but messages still dont light up the screen.

I want to be able to look at my phone and see if its a message or e-mail or whatever. Thats the point of "Locked screen notifications" in the settings right ?

Settings > sound & notification > when device is locked > show all notification content > also, Keep notifications on lock screen

App notification > check if the apps are listed

I am in phone settings and receive and E-mail or message and nothing shows up on my screen, just the sound. Not even the little gray bar on the top showing me the Little icons and if its a E-mail or Message or whatever.

I am coming from a Samsung S5 but I was thinking this is standart Android feature.

@Be_happy

Which Email app is causing this problem? I'm assuming that you get notifications from all apps but the Email app? is that correct?

Also check the Email app notification settings.

There is a Solution provided here. Just make the notifications priority. Can you try it.. http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/502239-text-notifications-not-appearing-lock-screen-after-lollipop-upgrade.html

I receive notification from all Apps. I am using all the stock apps. I got the phone yesterday.

The problem is not that I dont receive notifications. The problems are:

1. When i do receive the notification the screen still stays black and I dont see what I have received until i unlock the phone.

2. I am minding my busines (In the phone) being in the settings or in google chrome or in messages or wherever and when i receive a notification i dont get a "Pop up bar" that shows me the beggining of the message and who it is from and such like on my Samsung galaxy S5. The S5 had those notification pop up as a swipe away strip on my screen.

@Be_happy

Ok, I got it, you are expecting the screen to turn on so you can see the notification, that's how iPhones get notifications, and it was probably emulated by Samsung since they like to ... "share" ideas, it's not standard on Android, hence the notification LED, there are third party apps that you can install so whenever you receive anything the screen will turn on.

My messaging notificiation was already on "Treat as priority"

I put the "Email" app on priority as well.

Same deal... Screen stays locked, I just get the sound.
