How does this work? Does it only work on certain apps? I'm not getting notifications from Gmail or Google messages even though all notifications are turned in in the apps
 
The Now Bar is just a 'fancy' way of showing some running app activities (not notifications!). You will see timers, alarms, directions (while actively navigating), sports scores, etc. but it won't show any 'normal' notifications like GMail; those are still displayed just in the notification bar as they've always have.

If notifications for GMail are failing, try logging out of your account and logging back in. That will force a re-sync with the account.
 
In settings>lock screen>Now Bar tap
You only get these for now

so, in order to use the Now Bar, you have to have "show content on the Lock Screen" enabled
