Lollypop - How to turn off lock screen notifications - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just installed Lollypop on my new M8. I can't find a way if turning off notifications on the lock screen but leaving them working on the notification bar.
The help says this.
"Lock screen notifications
Choose the types of notifications to show or hide on the lock screen. Go to Settings, and then tapSecurity.Under*Lock screen, tapNotification settings.Choose whether to show or hide notifications such as missed calls and text messages. "
But on mine, there is no "Notifications" under Lock Screen, just "Incoming Phone Calls". Has my install gone wrong? Do others have the correct menu item? Is there another way of turning off lock screen notifications?
Thanks.

Try this :
settings - security than reset your lockscreen. Reset it the way you want and it will ask you again to show notifications or not.
Worked for me for the lock pattern.

Thanks. That is one answer - I had answered to hide sensitive info but didn't like the opaque notifications. They'd be ok if they were transparent.
I've now found another way, not mentioned in the help and tips. Go to Sound & Notifications | When device is locked. However, that only gives on or off, not the sensitive info option.
I'd love to make them transparent again. Has anyone found a way of doing that?
I've also found you can turn them off app by app by pressing & holding the notification on the lock screen but then you never see another notification from that app until you turn it back on (Sound & Notifications | App Notifications).

Anyone?
Is there a way of making notifications on the lock screen (or the notification bar) transparent (or black)?

Notification bar on screen lock

Can you only drag down the notification bar on the screen lock if you don't have an unlock code/pattern etc? I see numerous people saying you can drag it down but mine does not and I can't find an option to activate it.
Thanks.

no, not if you have a screen lock enabled afaik
if you have a screen lock delay, you can do before the time is "up"
Thanks, shame there isn't the option to enable it with a secure pattern etc also.

i know.
if you use something like widget locker and missed it (both on the play store) you can show notification numbers for calls texts, emails and any other app. you can then tap the notification, it'll ask you the passcode and open the correct app

Customise vibrate settings?

Is there any way to customize notification vibration settings - either turn them down, or off altogether?
I understand you can set individual app settings but ideally I want to get rid of vibrations completely - I've never liked them, and even when I think I've changed all my app settings every so often a notification pops up with a vibrate!
Is there an app or a ROM that can entirely disable vibration?

Phone (show caller ID for missed calls) & Text Messages (Show sender and preview) under SETTINGS > SECURITY > LOCK SCREEN > NOTIFICATION SETTINGS.
But still i cant see any notifications on the lock screen .
only they can be seen in task bar
please help .
Try opening the stock launcher once.
I think you are using custom launcher. If yes, then open the stock launcher one, and all the lockscreen shortcuts will re-appear.

[Q] Lockscreen Notifications

I just came from Cyanogenmod, so I am not which features are specific to that but, I don't get any notifications on my lock screen, nor do I get cover art (when playing audio) or music controls.
Under notification settings, I have enabled"Show All Notification Content" when device is locked.
No apps are blocking app notifications on the lock screen
Under lock screen settings, Skip Slide Screen is set to off
Screen lock is set to PIN (policy pushed to my phone by my employer)
Not that I am running the latest pre-rooted system image (Z00A_WW_2.17.40.12)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I was not getting lock screen notification until I posted yesterday, and it was suggested that I turn off keep slide screen. That did it for me.

Doing that gave my music controls, but still no notifications...very sad

No granular ability to remove notifications for select apps from lockscreen.

Running: lineage-14.1-20170622-nightly-m8-signed.zip
To start - I do know that there are several ways to prevent lock screen notifications.
1) In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"
Of course this is all or nothing, so it isn't really very flexible.
2) Then, if I turn on Power notification controls I can set an app to "Level 2" which includes:
- Prevent full screen interruption
- Never peek
- Never make sound or vibrate
- Hide from lock screen
- Show at the bottom of the notification list
However this is almost totally useless as if I choose to restrict an app to Level 2 because I don't want it on the lock screen, I lose the ability for those notification to have any real type of visibility outside of the lock screen.
It appears that stock N has a switch for each app to control whether that app can show notification on the lock screen or not. Here is one such example.
This is very problematic for an app such as Gmail (or any mail app). I want my e-mail notifications to always make a sound/vibrate, etc...but I don't want the details of the e-mails to show in the lockscreen.
Now I have noticed that if I set a lockscreen with a secure option (other than "swipe"), that there is an option to hide notifications with secure content. In this case, my mail notifications show up without details and simply say "content hidden."
This last option gets me a reasonable result, but it requires me to set a secure lock screen. I realize that without a secure lockscreen anyone can simply open your phone and read the e-mail anyway...but it would be very nice to have the options from stock N that simply allow you to disable a particular app's ability to just show on the lock screen.
Ideas?
You must not of understood the settings. What you mentioned was exactly what your trying to achieve.
In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"

That setting is applied per app and would disable notifications from that app on the lock screen.
Update:
I think I see the confusion. Your accessing the Global Notifications settings and not individually selecting the app before changing that setting. The one you found controls all Notifications. Go into the app like this and change the setting per app.
(GOTO Settings>Notifications>Select App you want and then set On the Lock Screen to Do not show notifications at all(on the lock screen, this app only))
Correct me if I'm wrong but you just want no notifications from a particular app, only on the lock screen but want normal notifications to work while it's not locked. This would achieve that.
