If you’re looking for a way to get notifications on your lock screen, then check out this video: Android Lock Screen Notifications. Using an app called echo Lockscreen, you can get notifications on your device’s lock screen. It also turns on your screen when you get a notification such as a text message; I think that’s one of the major advantages to this app. Give it a try and tell me what you think about it. Would you use this over the many lock screen apps available?
