I'm a former iphone user and really liked how the text notifications showed up on the screen when the phone was locked. Is there a way to do that with the Atrix?
Hmm, well, with handcent SMS you can get a popup of the text received, including the whole message or just a popup without the message for privacy. Is that what you mean?
There isn't a way to get this unless you find an app/widget that does it for you. The only widget I found that claimed to do it is called "IMISSEDIT" and is available on the Market. I tried it and fiddled with it but it just wouldn't work for me, it would show 0 calls/msgs/emails all the time even when I had 2-5 of each of them.
