Is there a tweak that will allow me to pull down the notification shade while still having knock code enabled? I am rooted on stock rom.

Unfortunately, I do not think so. That is a security feature because if you can do that, anyone who grabs your phone can. That sometimes can give up sensitive information you'd rather keep private.
How about lockscreen notifications while knock code is enabled? I want to secure my phone but I want to be able to quickly glance at the notification to see if it's important
I'd like this option too, maybe an xposed module out there?

Auto-response: I found an xposed module named "Lockscreen Tweakbox" that allows this (amongst other things).
Can anyone identify the highlighted icon in the notification bar in the attached image? It shows up sometimes after a reboot.
It means you have an alarm set....

That's what I thought, but I don't! I have an alarm created, but it's turned off. And the icon only shows up on some reboots. Meh, could just be a bug where it sees the existing alarm and sometimes puts up the icon in spite of its being turned off.
After I posted the question, I took the Nougat update, so I'll see whether it ever happens again.
I'm on Nougat and never had that icon on MM. It's always on mine and I'd love to disable it (without disabling my daily alarm)
We have the same thing on a Galaxy s5 with KitKat. Cannot figure it out. Thought it was a reminder from the calendar but tried disabling notifications from the calendar app and killed that theory. No clue except malware that constantly runs

Found it it was unicorn ad blocker for samsung internet. Uninstalled and alarm icon went away. Of course you can just go to app info and disable notifications for it.

I don't have that one installed, unless it's a system app that's somehow hidden.
Does anyone know how to get the new notification look? Mine is still just the regular box notification. I'm talking about the heads up pop up notification btw

Me and my girlfriend both have the same exact phone and hers has the new notification look while mine doesn't. Hopefully someone can chime in and figure it out
What are you people talking about???
Try this: Settings -> Display -> Edge Screen -> Edge Lighting
Facebook messenger doesn't seem to be supported at all :/

Maybe im being silly but that looks like an App dependent notification - rather than a system handled
EG: facebook messenger - allows notification overridding screen - maybe thats just a text app that does have this permision in place
Re this i think in notification settings - in the more advanced section you can allow an app to override screen with notifications - tho i know in the new version od android they are eliminating this functionality

While i understand that, what i dont understand is why his has it and others but mine and others dont. He set his up sat next to me and didnt install anything

Ive figured it out:
Pull down quick settings and press edge lighting, its the second page of quick settings. Then in settings go to > Display > EdgeScreen, make sure Edge Lighting is toggled on, Then click on it and press Manage Notifications and choose which apps you want this way
Just like @xPrometheus mentioned

I spent 2 hours yesterday looking for tutorials and videos about that notification style and couldn't find anything. The default messaging app has that notification. I actually ditched Textra just because of that, until I find a way to to have it with it. I love that notification style, I really wish it could be enabled for all apps.
"Settings -> Display -> Edge Screen -> Edge Lighting" had been enabled since I got the phone and it's not the same thing as https://giphy.com/gifs/3o7btVlUtbdelu4L4I/html5
Or maybe it is, but the only application I could find that has that lightning effect is the default messaging app. Facebook doesn't have it, Textra doesn't have it, Messenger doesn't have it, SnapChat doesn't have it, and the list goes on and on..

Yup, same here. I enabled the feature and still no lighting effect for any of the apps accept stock Samsung.
Edit: angry english has the solution

I tried this, but I don't get any notification from apps like Gmail or Instagram. As a matter of fact I only see the small icon appear in the top left corner of the screen from them, and no pop-up or preview whatsoever. Am I the only one?
Only works on SMS for me it seems.
Shouldn't those apps give us some sort of preview like the iPhone does? I thought I used to have them on my old Galaxy S7 Edge.. but I might be wrong and got used to the iPhone now??
I got this working:
First disable notification for all apps you want to show with new notif style
in settings > notification
install SystemUI Tuner from playstore,
then in miscellaneous > enable Heads-Up Notifications.
scroll down and enable Power Notification controls.
now go back to notification setting, tap the app then slide to level 4 or 5 (peek enable)
the notification for the app should be in new style now (edge lighting enabled)
Now the trick so it also works with screen off:
install from playstore: Lightflow legacy
the key is the setting in lightflow must enable "Switch screen on" in the app setting
then you will have edge lighting notif for other apps too.
Mine works with Gmail & telegram & anything that's set up in lightflow.

Thanks for sharing! Going to try this now
Not working. Followed your steps. Not working for whatsapp (control level is max and notification added to light flow with switch screen on in general settings)
Help needed.
Hi all, hoping you can help.
On my Galaxy S8 I've noticed a cool notification feature where when my screen is off and I receive a notification from a stock app (text message, calendar) the heads up notification bubble appears at the top of the screen as usual but the rest of the screen remains off. This is really good because it means I don't have to have AOD enabled which drains battery but I can get a quick glance at what the notification is. My question is what is this feature called and why does it only seem to work for stock apps? I'd love my Whatsapp, Twitter and Gmail notifications to show up this way as well but despite digging through all the notification settings I can't figure it out.
I have a feeling there is some feature which just isn't supported by non-stock apps but would be useful to know what that is...
TIA!
Settings > edge screen > edge lighting > manage notifications
From there you can enable the apps you want.

Well, I've just been doing some testing and with Whatsapp at least, I've managed to get this to work by enabling the 'Popup notification setting' in the Notifications settings menu and setting it to 'Only when screen is off'. There is a trade off though which is that you get an actual Whatsapp popup notification (not heads up) when you turn the screen on and I personally find that annoying but if it means I get the heads up notifications when my screen is off, then I might live with it.
Twitter and Gmail I'm still not sure about...

But that's edge lighting - that already works and is just a light based notification. I'm talking about a heads up notification bubble appearing when the screen is off so you can see who it's from and a preview of the message.
It's the same thing. Turn off edge lighting and you won't get those bubbles. It does require some tinkering though for most apps. Textra for example I had to change how it displayed notifications in order to get the bubble you are speaking of to work.

Also on the list under manage apps, there is a line which is bolder than the others. I think apps above that line are "optimized" to work with this notification feature.

Have you learned what the bubble feature with screen of is Called?!

I currently have an iPhone 7 and heavily use the notification functionality.
Let's say I'm in meeting and the phone is on the table, locked. If someone sends a me a WhatsApp message, for example, then the phone will beep and light up for a few seconds and I'll see a new notification on the lock screen showing that I have a WhatsApp message from the sender. The same applies for other applications like email.
I have a Samsung S8 Galaxy and am trying to replicate the same behaviour. The notifying app definitely makes a noise, but the screen doesn't light up to show the details. I have to press the button on the right hand side to view the lock screen notification.
Is this a setting somewhere or a deficiency in Android/S8?
You can enable the edge lightning feature, although this only shows the app icon and a lightning and not the notifications text itself.

I'm sure it's possible!:fingers-crossed:
You can tap on the app icon when the edge lightens and quick reply from lockscreen is enabled.
Here is a tutorial on how to enable quick reply for notifications on lockscreen via adb:

In combination with quick reply on lockscreen this is the way to go I think!
