VPN notification missing in lollipop

[jckatz]

First I might be wrong I'm basing this on one article I found on Google. In kitkat when I used my VPN there was a persistent notification that took me directly to vpn status and the disconnect button.

However in lollipop all I have is an icon and disconnecting requires 7 clicks.

I read that this is only true on HTC but they didn't have a solution. Hopefully someone here does.

The first image is where the author said I should be able to disconnect from. The second and third photo is what I have.
