Disable Text Notifications

[mwspony]

Hi, I guess with the latest software update (at least with at&t) packages with it was now when a new text comes in along with the tool bar notification but there is also like a widget type notification both on the lock screen and on the front page. I WANT to disable it but it doesn't appear to be an option? I've unchecked "preview message" in the settings but that's not stopping the widget type of preview from popping up. I use dragon personal assistant and I get my notifications thru them. This is just redundant and I don't understand why there is no option to turn it off.

Any help?

Thanks in advance
