Apps starting L features?

Facebook on my Nexus 5 it showing lockscreen notifications for comments only, others with nexus 5 and facebook don't get the same attached notification. Do you guys have this for Facebook? I'm running 4.4.4 unrooted , basically stock Android with no changes.

Nevermind after some google searches discovered Facebook is test running the feature with select users, guess I'm a lucky one. Works awesome, can't wait for all notifications to use this.

Really? Only select users? I had no idea.. The feature just came one day, a while ago actually. It's annoying when you have a pattern unlock though.

Im NEWER to Android, but from my understanding Android 4.4.4 (or anything prior) stock never offered onscreen notifications. One of the Android L features if im not mistaken is how notifications will be shown on the lockscreen (without installing additional apps to support), as mentioned in the link below:
Android L preview: Notifications and lockscreen | Android Central

And here is an example of how Facebook is testing this new feature with select users:

"Facebook has confirmed to TechCrunch the update went out to a “small group of beta testers.”"
