can you see notifications / gmail and others/ on the lock screen or have to get into the home screen to see if you have an email or other notifications?

Yes, I can...

Depends on how you say the device up. But yes, as the learned one above said, you can, if you want to.

 

[Tim1954]

Set the device up that should have been...

 

[iloz]

could you tell me how to do it ?

 

[Mr Mendelli]

Yes, you can. Try this: Go to Settings-> Notifications-> Lock screen. If the phone is set to anything but "Show all notifications" then chances are that is the cause of not being able to see them on your lock screen.

I do have "show all notifications" marked,nothing else.Still I don't get anything on Lock screen.I hear notifications coming in but not visible and have to get to home screens to see what has arrived.

 

[Mr Mendelli]

What device and version of android do you have? I've never had this problem myself...

See what's enabled under device administrators, maybe there's an app there blocking the lock screen notifications.

Good point, if you have an anti-virus or security app, it may be blocking the notifications from the lock screen. That would explain why my method didn't work, because anti-virus software would bypass the built-in settings app...

Anything enabled as device administrator? Some special accounts or sharing files with some public institutions require extra privacy policies that could block your lock screen notifications.

 

[iloz]

I have none of those installed,but I am happy to report that out of the blue I have started to see some of the notifications appear on the lock screen.I hope this is the start of the some improvements.I could not tell you what and how it happened.
But thanks for all your interest

 

[Javier P]

Good news then! Maybe it was just a temporary glitch or some conflict with an app that got updated from the Play Store. Keep us posted.

I have verizon... Go to settings> Lockscreen & security> tap notifications on lookscreen> tap content on lockscreen> select show content... You can then select which apps you want notifications from & turn off ones you don't want. SIDE NOTE... If you turn on the "always on display" feature that shows time, date, etc when screen is off, it will show notification ICONS for weather, e-mails messages, etc... You can double tap a icon> enter pin# and it will open right to the e-mail or message etc... You DON'T even have to turn your screen on & select it... Love this feature.

Im having a similar issue. I can see notifications for everything except missed calls. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have show content for all apps in the locked screen notifications section that you mentioned above. Any ideas on what it could be?
